…Merino wool in a 150gsm fabric made for whatever you can throw at it. THE BLACKEST BLACK Now, we had our custom fabric.

Unveiling the Arc’teryx LEAF Courier Bag 15
…only available in a low-shine black (my favorite) and with a simple small black-on-black embroidered icon on the exterior, visually it’s almost… forgettable? That’s not a negative comment at all. In fact, it means the designers at Arc’teryx successfully achieved their goal. Why is that you ask? Well, the Courier 15 wasn’t made for soldiers kicking in doors engaged in close quarters combat situations. Just look at the model who is wearing the Cour…

Specialist Carry :: Forge Co. Frontline Pack
…of pack destruction I see on the fireground is tears and snags followed by embers – really hot pieces of still burning material that settle and just melt their way through anything – your gear, pack, hose or even house! We did some simulated ember work in Dave’s studio (yeah, burning things in a building full of fabric!) and came to the conclusion that the 1000D Cordura we used works above what’s required. At the time we weren’t sure what CorduraF…

Buyers Guide: Autumn Adventure Kit 2020
…shirt, the Bone Western (from F&T again) is a great option. The washed-out black color has a great aesthetic, along with the traditional buttons and styling, that gives you a different dimension to the plaid. The 8oz denim feels like it could take a beating, and it’s just up to you to decide whether that’s in a social or labour setting! I would have no qualms using this as a garden work shirt, and it was great for chopping wood. It is also thick e…

…uld it be? We had MultiCam Alpine in 500D Cordura nylon with 3M Scotchlite black reflective behind it. It needed something to balance it. The next design should be a yang to this design’s yin. We had already used MultiCam Black (P03), so going 100% literal here wasn’t the move. We realized we could use a different material entirely, as with yin/yang it’s not supposed to be the exact same, but the opposite. So we selected a Carryology favorite, X-P…
