Arc’teryx Reimagines M65 Field Jacket

March 17th, 2009 | Product Announcement | Posted by Rob Curtis

Arc’teryx’s new Veilance line brings the trademark spartan aesthetic and technical performance qualities found across their active and casual lines and combines them into a new hybrid clothing design you can wear to the office.

The headliner is Arc’teryx’s version of the M65 field jacket. The hobo staple goes upscale and gets updated with Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric, watertight zippers, waterproof chest and hand pockets, adjustable waist cord and wrist cuffs. Prices aren’t available yet, but the clothes will be out in fall ‘09.

Unveiled over the weekend on it’s own website (veilance.arcteryx.com),the urban streetwear line falls someplace between Underworld and Gattaca. These are the clothes to wear if you want to look so hip that you’ll want to kick your own ass.

Get your metrosex on with a gallery showing a few more pieces of the line after the break.

   Great catch! Unfortunately, I have heard these will be even more expensive than the current Arc’teryx offerings. I guess they missed that memo on the recession.

   SICK… Finally someone has the BALLS to push the industry. Maybe people wont look so dorky going on dates in their Jalapeno Beta…. GREAT WORK! Cant wait to see more!

   This is hot!!! I agree with DR3. It’s about time the Arc’teryx technology & style makes it into the everyday world. I welcome not walking around in my Ski jacket, and finally something to wear to work; other than a covert or fugitive! Job well done. Bring on F09!

   Also have to agree with DR3W. Living in the Pacific Northwest, I welcome ARC’TERYX technology to clothes I can wear around town without looking like I’m headed to the mountain any minute. Looking forward to seeing it up close.

   It dissapoints me that someone that so ignorant as to use the word ‘faggy’ in any context is able to post on this site or any site for that matter, disgraceful…this person should be ashamed.

   This is a balls move by Arcteryx. Good looking product. To bad they used a Tyrell Corp Replicant in place of a human model.
