About the original
The North Face Half Dome Pullover Hoodie is a cotton-polyester fleece pullover with a kangaroo pocket, ribbed cuffs and hem, an adjustable drawstring hood, and a screen-printed Half Dome logo at the chest. The Half Dome (an 8,839-foot granite formation in Yosemite National Park) has been The North Face's signature mark since the brand was founded in San Francisco in 1966 by Doug Tompkins and Susie Tompkins Buell, originally as a small backpacking retail shop in North Beach. The SS2018 Supreme version replaces the standard screen print with a metallic foil Supreme x TNF logo in black and gold, with no structural changes to the fleece construction. Released March 1, 2018.
