About the original
The North Face was founded in 1966 as a climbing equipment retailer in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood by Douglas Tompkins and Susie Tompkins Buell, and began manufacturing its own outerwear in 1968. Its Red Box Pullover Hoodie is a midweight cotton-poly fleece pullover with a two-piece drawcord hood, kangaroo pocket, ribbed cuffs and the embroidered Red Box logo at the chest, a staple of the brand's everyday line since the late 2010s. The FW21 Supreme collab uses the same fleece pullover silhouette printed with a lenticular photo of mountains on the front panel, released at $148 retail in four colorways.
