Key Features & Materials

• Heavyweight Plush Fleece Body — 100% recycled polyester makes the core soft, warm, and kind to the planet.

• Overlay Panels — Collar, chest, back yoke, and lower sleeves use recycled nylon overlays treated with durable water repellant (non-PFC) finish. These parts help block wind and protect the fleece in harsher weather.

• Adjustability & Fit: Relaxed/standard fit designed to be layered. Elastic cuffs, hem drawcord with toggles let you cinch or loosen. Stand collar seals in warmth.

• Sustainability: Shell and pocket lining are recycled materials. Overlays are water-resistant without harmful per-fluorocarbons.

• Style & Color: Ochre — a warm tan/gold earthy hue that matches both neutral wardrobes and more adventurous color combos. The “Retro Denali” look ties back to 1990s outdoor gear but feels fresh today.

• Release Details: Season FW24. Official launch around December 10, 2024. Retail price at launch was about $225 USD.

FAQs

Here are 5 frequently asked questions (and answers) people commonly search for when considering this jacket:

1. Is The North Face x SKIMS 1995 Retro Denali Fleece Jacket Ochre water-proof or water-resistant?
   It is not fully waterproof. However, the overlay panels (collar, chest, sleeves) are treated with a non-PFC durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. That helps shed light rain or snow, but heavy rain will soak through the fleece body.

2. How warm is it? Can I wear it in cold winter?
   It’s quite warm. The heavyweight fleece traps heat well. It works great in cold weather when layered. For very cold or wet conditions, pair it with a shell or insulated layer.

3. How does the sizing run? Should I size up or down?
   It has a relaxed / standard fit. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, go with your usual size, or size up one. If you prefer a sleeker or closer fit, you could size down.

4. What colors does it come in?
   This specific version is “Ochre” (warm tan/gold tone). The Denali line and The North Face / SKIMS collaboration may offer other colors, but availability depends on stock.

5. Is this sustainable / eco-friendly?
   Yes. The shell body and lining use 100% recycled polyester; overlays are made with recycled nylon and treated with a non-PFC DWR (avoiding harmful PFCs). These choices reduce waste and environmental impact.
