This is a sneak peak of Domari Nolo Defense Consulting’s prototype Centurion Light Fighter Parka. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with these guys at the Shot Heard ‘Round The World earlier this year in New Hampshire after being introduced by Lawrence from Hyde Definition. The Domari Nolo guys love the Pencott patterns and have incorporated them into their line of products that are starting to come out.
They want their gear to be functional, affordable, and American made. Normally you get two of the three but so far, these guys seem to be making it work by managing design and finding great manufacturing partners.
The Centurion Light Fighter Parka is an anorak design and made from 50/50 ripstop NYCO water resistant, quick-drying, lightweight polyester fabric that Hyde Definition also used for their SnowDrift camo overwhites (which is being evaluated by SOCOM) but in the PenCott Greenzone pattern. It’s the same fabric used by the USMC for their snow camo overwhites and the USAF for their PT suits.
What started as an inside joke among the Panteao crew members and was then picked up their instructors has turned into a T-shirt you can wear.
Charcoal, Sizes Small – 3XLarge.
We’ve written about Ministry of Supply‘s unique blend of performance fabrics and office attire a couple of times now. Once again, they have come up with a great concept, paid for by crowdfunding.
This time, Ministry of Supply take on the dress sock. It looks much more comfortable and functional compared to the more traditional alternative. Using Strain Analysis, Pressure Mapping, and Thermal Imaging during development allowed MoS to maximize the comfort and heat management of the socks, which move along with the wearer much like a second skin. The socks are made from a blend of 40% cotton, 20% elastane, and 40% recycled polyester infused with carbonized coffee. The carbonized coffee particles attract and absorb aromatic molecules, which are easily removed in the wash. Two variants are planned, the ATLAS dress sock and ATLAS loafer sock, both initially available in black.
