The North Face 1990 Mountain Jacket GORE-TEX — White/Black & Black

The Original Mountain Jacket. GORE-TEX. Since 1990.

The North Face 1990 Mountain Jacket is the shell that defined what a mountain jacket looks like. First introduced in 1990, its formula has remained unchanged: GORE-TEX waterproof-breathable construction, the signature snap-button front placket, the iconic TNF colour-block with black shoulders and cuffs over a contrasting body, and the box logo on the chest. It is not a puffer and it is not insulated — it is a technical shell built to go over whatever you’re wearing underneath and keep the mountain out. Available in the classic White/Black colour-block and all-Black.

• GORE-TEX waterproof-breathable construction — the 1990’s defining technical specification: GORE-TEX membrane throughout the full shell provides fully seam-sealed waterproof protection and breathability — the standard that made the 1990 a functional mountain jacket and not just an aesthetic one, confirmed by the GORE-TEX hang tag
• Signature snap-button front placket — the 1990’s most recognisable design detail: a full-length front closure with exposed snap buttons running from hem to chin — the construction that has defined this jacket’s silhouette since its introduction and makes it instantly identifiable from any distance
• Iconic TNF colour-block — black shoulders and cuffs — the 1990’s original colour-block formula: black shoulder/yoke panels and black cuffs contrasted against the body colour — the design logic that the jacket has carried since 1990 and that makes the White/Black version its most visually definitive expression
• The North Face box logo on chest and back yoke — the TNF box logo embroidered in white on the left chest and on the back yoke — the brand’s original logo mark, present on the 1990 exactly as it has been since the jacket’s introduction
• Large adjustable attached hood with cinch toggles — a substantial attached hood with cinch cord toggles at the face opening and crown — sized and adjustable for full head coverage in mountain conditions, with a structured brim that holds shape in wind
• Chest snap-button pocket — a single snap-button chest pocket on the left chest — positioned within the colour-block panel and proportioned to the jacket’s clean technical silhouette
• Adjustable cuffs — snap-adjustable cuffs in the contrast black fabric — allowing the sleeve end to be sealed against wind and rain or loosened for ventilation and layering
• Technical shell construction — uninsulated — the 1990 is a pure shell jacket with no insulation — designed to be worn over a midlayer or base layer and to provide weather protection rather than warmth on its own, consistent with its original mountain-technical brief
• Available in White/Black and Black — White/Black for the jacket’s original and most iconic colour-block expression — Black for a tonal all-black version that carries the same GORE-TEX construction and snap placket with a lower-profile, streetwear-ready exterior

Same jacket. Same snap buttons. Same GORE-TEX. The North Face 1990 Mountain Jacket — the shell that started it all.
