Anyone see this yet? Arc'teryx is dabbling in fashion - they've got a Fall '09 collection with a few jackets, shirts, sweaters, pants, and a couple tees. I guess the concept is making casual/business-dress clothes and outerwear using technical fabrics, coatings, and features. The mark-ups are pretty insane - their "Field Jacket" is a Gore-tex Pro Shell; it's pretty slick looking, but not $1000 slick.

The blazer is pretty rad, though.

There's no kevlar in it (yet). That will be in the 2011 catalog. :D

I actually bought a couple of there short sleeve shirts (Envoy and Motiv) and there grifter short and two casual pants. They are on the expensive side, but they fit very well. I was able to get these items on one of there specials, otherwise I never would have been able to afford there clothes.

This jacket however, is way over priced. For $1000? No way worth it.

I dunno, I could just imagine you strutting in one of those in a snowed-out background!

Funny you should mention that - the "Stealth" shirt and pants are a poly/kevlar blend.
