Supreme x The North Face RTG Utility Pouch
Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The North Face RTG (Ready To Go) Utility Pouch is a compact nylon organizer with a zippered main compartment, an internal mesh pocket, and reinforced webbing loops so it can clip onto a belt, harness, or pack shoulder strap for fast field access. The RTG line was developed as The North Face's climbing-focused capsule, with taped seams, bar-tack stitching, and burly hardware over aesthetic minimalism. The pouch is the smallest piece in that family, intended to hold a phone, compass, energy gels, or a lightweight rain shell. The SS2020 Supreme collab version kept the RTG construction and added co-branded zipper pulls, red webbing, and printed logos across the three-piece capsule.
About The North Face
The North Face is an American outdoor apparel and equipment company founded in 1966 by Douglas and Susie Tompkins as a mountaineering retail store in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. The company introduced the Sierra down parka in 1968 and the geodesic Oval Intention tent in 1975, and its Nuptse down jacket, released in 1992, is named for the 7,861-meter Himalayan peak. The brand now produces the Summit Series, Steep Tech, and Denali fleece lines under VF Corporation ownership. Supreme and The North Face have run one of streetwear's longest ongoing collaborations, releasing seasonal capsules each spring and fall since 2007.
