When it comes to rain jackets within streetwear, you can’t knock most of Supreme’s collaborations with The North Face. Many of these have not only been made with waterproof Gore-Tex, but have also revived jackets from The North Face’s rich archives that are nearly impossible to find originals of today. One example is this RTG jacket and vest Supreme re-released with The North Face in 2020. This piece boasts a ridiculous number of pockets and features a backpack-esque vest that could potentially hold a hydration bladder. RTG stood for “Remote Terrain Gear” and was a line by The North Face released for just a couple of seasons in the ’90s. It was designed for the toughest outdoor conditions and defined by an “RTG” embroidery hit on the sleeve of each garment. As told to Complex by Bill Brown, The North Face’s East Coast sales director in the ’90s, lines like RTG were instrumental in The North Face’s reverence within streetwear culture. “Lines like Steep Tech, Heli, and RTG were—aspirational products which helped grow the brand,” shared Brown. “If you’re wearing a Black Nuptse for $199, you look the same as everybody else. But if you got money, you got a Steep Tech jacket on.” So if you want a waterproof jacket with a flashy North Face vest like the one DMX wore in LL Cool J’s “4,3,2,1” music video, this is the one for you.
