Some of you may have already seen this guy at one of the Triple Aught Design stores in the San Francisco Bay area but this was my first glimpse of their preview mannequin.
so far, none of these three garments have official names. There is a NYCO Jacket which uses the same 50/50 Nylon Cotton ripstop blend as many of their pants. Inspired by racing jackets, it’s DWR treated and features TAD logo slotted buttons at the cuff. Next, is the new pant which uses the same cut as the Intercept Jean but integrates the new Made in USA, FR Doomsday Canvas fabric. Incidentally, the Intercept Jean is the best selling garment in TAD history.
But, you’re going to see the Primer Henley first which combines the design of the Hunstman Henley with the waffle patterned material of the Primer Crew, so I’ll give you a little closer look. As you can see, it also incorporates the TAD logo slotted buttons down the neck.

I’m really looking forward to all this
Just remove them.
Us too!! Glad to see it struck a chord with you, Doc.
kinda hoping it has a patchless option but all in all looks good!.
Just remove them.
We are planning patch and no patch options 🙂
How about a Velcro-cover-upper patch made of the same fabric as the jacket?
Cool ideas. We started working on something similar to this 🙂 great minds.
The jacket reminds me of the Patagonia Slingshot, which has proved to be an excellent all-around garment. I will be looking into this one.
It should certainly be a great-looking, everyday casual piece – what colors would you be looking for? We’re still deciding…
The color illustrated is pretty good. How about Cactus Green, Olive Green (OG), and a shade or two of Brown (Coyote? Nutria?).
Also consider optional two-tone construction.
To the color shown I would add a tan/desert variant (for the more Military-minded), and for the urban set, 1 gray and 1 black.
I like SOD gears HCS colour.
Nice jacket! I’d love to get one, depending on price, but even if it were within my price range I really couldn’t justify it since, as my wife would put it, I need more jackets like I need a hole in the head. But that Henley is really nice looking and something that I’d seriously consider buying.
Really looking forward to the Henley… Slotted buttons, thank the gods. Color Request(s): Wolf Grey, Magpul’s Foliage Green (RIP).
too bad they are always sold out of EVERYTHING, always
This. I wish they would work a little more on quantity versus coming out with new items. Seems like everything is a limited edition. Very limited. I got lucky with my Ranger Hoodie LT. I happened to click on their site the day they put them up. Also found a Tracer Jacket. Off Ebay. At twice the retail. (I really hope that’s not an insider thing) Really, really wanted a Ranger Jacket LT. Alas, it was not to be.
It can definitely be frustrating. I ended up purchasing a knife at Blade Show from TAD that I have been trying to purchase off the site for years.
