Up for sale is a classic The North Face 700-fill Nuptse down jacket. This is the highly sought-after vintage 1996 style, known for its high-loft insulation and iconic puffer design. This is an essential piece of outerwear for cold weather and street style. The jacket is all black, featuring the classic embroidered white TNF logo on the chest and the 700-fill detail on the sleeve.
FEATURES:
Insulation: 700-Fill Goose Down (Super warm and packable)
Shell: 100% Nylon (Ripstop and durable)
Style: Iconic Baffle construction with a stand-up collar
Zippers: Full-zip front with signature TNF logo puller
Condition: Pre-owned/Vintage (See Detailed Condition Report)
CONDITION REPORT (PLEASE READ):
This is a vintage item and is being sold in as-is condition. I have provided multiple clear photos of the key features and, most importantly, the specific flaws. Here is an honest breakdown of its current state:
KEY FLAW - INTERIOR ZIPPER/VELCRO POCKET (IMPORTANT):
There is significant damage to the internal security pocket.
Image 1 clearly shows a white velcro strip that is badly torn, frayed, and separated from the jacket's interior lining.
Image 8 shows a wider view of this area. The entire velcro pocket closure appears to be damaged or partially detached.
The internal pocket is NOT currently functional due to this tear. It will require repair (such as sewing or a replacement zipper/velcro) if you wish to use that specific pocket.
ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS:
Overall Shell: The black nylon shell is in good overall condition. There are no major external rips, burns, or large stains. It has standard vintage signs of wear, such as minor scuffs, light creasing, and typical lint/dust in the seams (visible in close-ups).
Logos: The embroidered "The North Face" logo on the chest and the "700" on the sleeve are clean and intact.
Main Zipper: The main front zipper is fully functional and includes the plastic TNF logo pull tab, which is in good shape (Image 0).
Tags: The neck tag (made in Bangladesh) is intact and legible (Image 6). The French care label is legible (Image 2), though the corresponding English tag has a piece of red thread attached and is slightly more worn (Image 7).
SUMMARY: This jacket is a classic piece with plenty of life left in its shell and insulation. However, the internal pocket damage is a notable flaw. This is an excellent project for someone looking for a deal on a high-value vintage jacket who is willing to repair the interior pocket or who doesn't mind leaving it as-is. Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.
