In CODE magazine’s “Audaciously Inventive,” designer Conroy Nachtigall explains the thinking behind Arc’teryx Veilance as a new category of performance menswear. The interview traces how Arc’teryx’s outdoor construction knowledge was redirected toward urban needs: articulated fits, lower weight, mobility, weather protection, discreet storage, and technical fabrics without overt outdoor styling. The final spread analyzes four early Veilance pieces—the Gore-Tex car coat and field jacket, and the Windstopper blazer and cargo pants—showing how familiar menswear forms became vehicles for waterproof construction, hidden pockets, gasket cuffs, stowable hoods, and unobtrusive closures.
