This is led by the velcro cuffs and the signature stand-neck collar. The co-branded tags are along the inside which also indicates that this is not a regular North Face piece but in fact a more luxurious collaboration. The duo reimagines a piece from another brand and the structure is made with faux leather materials which continue with a stealthy tonal palette in place of the traditional ripstop nylon. It is set to launch at both [Junya Watanabe Man](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junya-watanabe-man-x-reigning-champ) store locations and Dover Street Market starting on November 15th.
