Owners of Field Overshirts - do all of your cobrax buttons have the same amount of "snap" to them?  My lowest button slides in, but doesn't have the same feel as the other buttons.  Not a huge deal, but sometimes I can't tell if I actually buttoned it.

Take a small precision flathead screwdriver to the button in question on the female side and gently pry the little prong piece upwards. It should snap more securely after that.

Thanks! Will try that tonight.

Update: Worked like a charm.  I was applying pressure up and it kind of just popped up into place.  At first I thought I broke it, but now it secures like the rest of the buttons.  Maybe they just missed this step in the factory?  Either way, glad its fully functional now.

Contacted Arc. They confirmed that the shirt is indeed a fake. Makes me wonder about the seller's many Dyadic's and Achroms

I have the same issue – some of them just slide through and can get "unclipped" quite easily. Thanks gents, will give the fix a try as well!

woohoo! tbh it was a fix i sort of stumbled upon myself after noticing a button feeling looser. I'm thinking it just happens with wear/use over time.

I'd take a Nomin bag if you could proxy! Is it the old version or new?

[Avattoir]

Suggestions for anywhere to cop a douro Arris, new or used? Left mine at a bar like an idiot asshole, and I think it was the most versatile thing I owned. 

 

[tempura_glitch]

Haven has one left in stock If you're a XL.

FYI.

Might also throw my Nomin (Gen 1) up later.. Happy bidding.

P.s. I love them, just in need of some cash for rainy days.

anyone that has had or currently owed both, does the sequent fit similar to the apparat? cheers.

The sequent is quite a different cut when compared to the apparat. The Sequent is much wider through the waist and thighs and is much less restrictive overall.

[scamster]

cheers @AnomalousTautology good to know, even though went one size on the apparat found them a littles restrictive overall despite all the articulation and crotch gusset, although do enjoying wearing them.

do you think sizing the same as the apparat should ok for a nice loose fit and just cinch in around the waist?

Thanks for the tip. I picked-up a black Nemis I was eyeing for the summer.

Probably not the best deal possible at $270 but I'm happy.

@scamster I usually get a 34 with Veilance and got a 34 for my Sequent. I still had to sinch one button on both sides to have the pants sit nice and stable on my hips. I have yet to find a position where they are at all restrictive

Second that. The Sequent isn’t restrictive at all for most movements. The only thing is that, depending on your height, they might be a little short. So it might be a bit uncomfortable to cross your legs or bend your knees extensively when sitting, due to the bottom of the pants slipping up your legs towards your knees. And it might not be the most professional look to have a major gap between the bottom of the pants and the socks when you sit normally, or with legs crossed. Minor gripe, though, and depends on the setting you use them in.

If you're a 36, the Sequent is already on sale at East Dane

Has anyone takes a look at the Monitor SL? How is it? it it just the monitor we all know and love made with the same fabric as the isogon?

It's a completely different jacket. New patterning, different fit, and the material isn't the nylon/cotton blend of the Isogon but a 100% nylon weave. The feeling of the material is hard to explain, but I like it a lot. Can't yet comment on the details of the fit, as I haven't had the chance to try it on in my size.

If you're in Europe: The FO in Parndorf also has them. (Not sure of price anymore.) Black Field Jacket recently went down to 600 Euro; Monitor Down are there; quite a lot of merino wool T's...

Can anyone give me some insight as to why there is a fleece material around the armpit/side on the interior of the Mionn IS? I feel like this absorbs more sweat and the jacket starts to smell more quickly. Pic for reference.

For better breathability / heat distribution as underarm area is where it usually gets overheated?

Thanks, that's kinda what I was figuring. I guess I just run too hot and sweat too much lol.

I want to love the Voronoi AR but they crease too easily and look pretty bad after about a half day of wearing them. The bagged out knee doesn’t help. 

 

Bring back the nylon voronoi!

[johngalt]

Agreed. I've been stocking up. 

I do hope they bring the pant back. But then pricing gets complicated with the Convex

[Inkinsurgent]

between the convex lt and voronoi lt i prefer the voronoi because it is a much more distinctive design and the fit is perfect for me. however, i do really appreciate the convex for it's brutal minimalism and clean drape.

that said, compared to the canada made nylon voronois i own i don't think the convex warrants a 350 price tag. it's very obviously a MUCH simpler pant to produce, it doesn't have the circular tape patches on stress points that the voronois have, overall the taping looks much less nice and despite all that it's still made in china. i wouldn't pay retail for it again.
 

[johngalt]

Can anyone give me a hem measurement of their Medium or Large Mionn IS comp? I want to size down but not sure.
