Supreme x The North Face 18FW Expedition Jacket | CORDURA GORE-TEX Color-Block Technical Shell

CORDURA Ripstop Meets GORE-TEX Weather Protection, Seam-Sealed Construction and Iconic FW18 Expedition Styling

The Supreme x The North Face 18FW Expedition Jacket combines technical outdoor construction with the bold color-block aesthetic of one of the most recognisable FW18 collaborations. According to the supplied material specification, the shell uses CORDURA technical fabric laminated with a GORE-TEX membrane, creating a durable outer layer designed around waterproof, wind-resistant, and breathable performance.

The CORDURA shell provides strong resistance to abrasion and tearing while maintaining a relatively lightweight technical feel. Beneath the outer fabric, the GORE-TEX membrane uses a microporous structure that helps block liquid water and wind while allowing moisture vapour to escape, making the jacket suitable for changing outdoor conditions and active use.

Finished with technical seam-sealing construction, adjustable details, and a relaxed expedition-shell silhouette, the jacket works naturally for outdoor layering, travel, commuting, and streetwear styling. Available in XS–XXL, it combines functional performance with the distinctive Supreme x The North Face Expedition aesthetic.

Technical Specifications

Signature Design & Craftsmanship Highlights

CORDURA Technical Shell: The outer fabric uses CORDURA-style technical material engineered for durability, abrasion resistance, and demanding everyday wear.

Ripstop Construction: Reinforced textile structure helps improve resistance to tearing and supports the jacket's rugged expedition character.

GORE-TEX Membrane: The laminated membrane is designed to help prevent rain and wind from penetrating while allowing internal moisture vapour to escape.

Waterproof Protection: According to the supplied material specification, the shell and membrane combination is designed for wet-weather protection.

Windproof Construction: The membrane structure helps reduce wind penetration, providing additional protection during colder and exposed conditions.

Breathable Performance: Moisture vapour can move outward through the membrane, helping improve comfort during movement and active use.

Microporous Membrane Technology: GORE-TEX technology uses billions of microscopic pores per square inch, with pores small enough to block liquid droplets while allowing vapour to pass through.

Seam-Sealed Construction: Technical seam taping helps reduce potential water entry through stitched seam areas and supports more complete weather protection.

Durable Abrasion Resistance: CORDURA-type fabric is valued for its resistance to abrasion and repeated wear, making it suitable for technical outerwear.

Color-Block Expedition Design: Contrasting panels create the distinctive visual identity associated with the FW18 Expedition collection.

Technical Hooded Construction: The hood provides additional coverage and reinforces the practical expedition-shell profile.

Adjustable Cuffs & Hem: Adjustable openings help fine-tune fit and reduce unwanted wind entry.

Styling & Wardrobe Pairing

The Supreme x The North Face-inspired 18FW Expedition Jacket pairs naturally with technical pants, cargo trousers, hiking pants, washed denim, fleece layers, and trail or streetwear sneakers.

For a technical streetwear outfit, combine it with black cargo trousers and trail sneakers. The color-block shell, CORDURA construction, and Expedition styling provide enough visual impact to carry the entire look.

For outdoor or travel use, layer it over a fleece, sweatshirt, or lightweight insulated jacket. The relaxed shell silhouette provides room for additional layers while maintaining comfortable movement.
