# Fall-Centric Experimental Apparel The North Face Urban Exploration Launches Urban Geology By Amy Duong | Published 2022-10-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-geology References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/10/the-north-face-urban-exploration-delivers-experimental-textures-in-fw22-urban-geology-capsule-release-info) & [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/tags/The-North-Face) The North Face Urban Exploration introduces its latest Urban Geology series that is joining its roster for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. This is a capsule that is full of functional technologies and it delivers a versatile range of wearable looks. Overall, the capsule is led by outerwear, footwear, bottoms, and accessories. The highlighting item in the collection is definitely the olive tonal blazers that have a collar strap detail, the double-sided jackets, DWR-repellent tops, and the trench coats with plaid patterns done in Dryvent fabrication. The heavier outerwear options include materials such as a blend of sherpa fleece with quilted nylon panels. The sweaters are done with details such as buttoned cuffs and hidden pocket accents.
