    Has anyone heard anything about Japan centric Czech label Poutnik (by Tilak)? Did a little digging and apparently the line's designed by Acronym

     

    I've handled a few coats in the DenimHeads store Prague (highly recommended!).

    It's a nice collection, very much like older Acronym stuff but made with Ventile, quality is of course superb, as you would expect from ACRNM/Tilak, made in Czech Republic.

    The label is quite limited and is still in development phase, expect more news this year.

    I've read through this forum and have a few questions for those familiar with Veilance, specifically the Blazer LT and the Mionn IS vest. Ideally, I would try these items on to gain first hand knowledge however I don't a Veilance stockist nearby.

     

    1) I've read it's recommended to size up +1 with the Veilance Blazer LT and Mionn IS vest -- is this a correct ? My measurements are 6'1", 200 lbs, 43 in chest...looking at size XL in both pieces rather than size L.

     

    2) Will the Blazer LT work for tropical (warmer) weather...or should I view it as more of a cold weather coat/jacket? I travel to humid, rainy climate for work and typical blazers/sportcoats aren't an option. The Blazer LT seems like it may by a better, more lightweight alternative.

     

    3) If the Mionn IS is slim fitting would it fit under an Atom LT (both size XL)?

     

    I'm interested in other pros/cons and experience anyone may have.  Cheers.

    1) Do not size up, stay true to your size or size down. (I own both blazer and the vest)

     

    2) LT is not a cold weather jacket (that would be Indisce or blazers before 2012), it's more like a light windshell. I think it might work in the tropics.

     

    3) Mionn IS vest will fit under pretty much everything. Extremely compressible garment.

     

    Both items are of course really well made and very nice. I can't think of any cons right now...other than the price.

    Well, maybe the vest is rather thin and you can't expect it to be super warm, and the blazer may look odd in the crow of the super wool suits...but I'm sure you'll love it.

    So I just heard a murmur that Arc'teryx might be dropping the Veilance line.

     

    Anyway we can get this confirmed as true or trolling? Maybe Larssss can weigh in.

    Well, I doubt that, according to this PR story, Veilance is doing more than fine.

    But I would love to hear some insider informations on this, about changes in the design team and that made in Canada/Asia thing...
