Arc’teryx’s new Veilance line brings the trademark spartan aesthetic and technical performance qualities found across their active and casual lines and combines them into a new hybrid clothing design you can wear to the office.

The headliner is Arc’teryx’s version of the M65 field jacket. The hobo staple goes upscale and gets updated with Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric, watertight zippers, waterproof chest and hand pockets, adjustable waist cord and wrist cuffs. Prices aren’t available yet, but the clothes will be out in fall ’09.

Unveiled over the weekend on it’s own website (veilance.arcteryx.com),the urban streetwear line falls someplace between Underworld and Gattaca. These are the clothes to wear if you want to look so hip that you’ll want to kick your own ass.

Get your metrosex on with a gallery showing a few more pieces of the line after the break.
