…ldiers), which we had used a variation of previously on our Carryology P06 morale patch. We loved it. Even though it was brand new as part of the brand new Spring/Summer 2023 fabric collection, we just had to elevate it a step further… because… well, you know how this works by now. So we called up the fabric gurus and played with a variety of different fabrics, scaling options of the M90 pattern (both larger and smaller), and we color-swapped out…

…is little puppy. What’s happened here is our friend has ripped the leather patch off the back of their now defunct jeans, and also cut a piece of denim from the same jeans at roughly the same size as the leather patch. Then he’s stitched the two together down the sides and left an opening at the top. This leaves a sweet-looking card sleeve that is probably one of a kind? Well, we haven’t seen others… The Bus Pass Sleeve This might not be a long-la…

It’s as though the designers wanted to try something different with the asymmetrical look, but ended up settling on a semi-awkward placement. Admittedly, I’m not sure where else it should go, but if I were king for a day I would have moved the zippers for the foil-lined pouch further apart so as to not sacrifice styli…

The Gore-Tex patch is then placed on the interior face of the jacket and then using the heat sealing press, Adam uses heat, pressure, and time to ensure a perfect bond between the jacket and the patch. Of course, it’s a perfect fix leaving nothing but a small barely visible scar from the exterior. But… this is Arc’teryx… so how do we really *know* that this…
