Introducing ArchiTec
Skye Schuchman, Head of Design, says of ArchiTec’s Baja Collection, “This capsule offering captures the spirit of beautiful Baja California where we wear-tested each versatile piece against desert and beach conditions.”
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) May 17, 2018
Designed and built in California, ArchiTec is technical apparel for the modern adventurer. The inspiration behind the ArchiTec brand came from the Founders’ love of travel, the outdoors and an obsession with packing light.
Founder, Justin Seale explains how ArchiTec’s brand’s aesthetic was created, “Our design vision focuses on three basic objectives: “Go and see”- Each collection is inspired by, and quality tested, in a unique travel destination and includes foundational cohesive pieces, perfect for traveling light and often. “Design for adventure”- we use high-quality technical fabric which performs across all types of excursions and aims to balance function, style and experience. “Build cool stuff and less of it”- We want the world to be here for future explorers, so sustainability is embedded in everything we do. Our small-batch, limited-edition pieces are designed and warrantied for life, and we are also one of the few small brands that trace our materials back to the growers to ensure ethical and sustainable practices.”
Featuring lightweight Halley Stevenson waxed canvas, the Livingstone Overshirt (MSRP $168) is optimized for warmer weather and is comfortable with or without a base layer. This fabric uses a unique "Hybrid Aero" wax finish that is cool to the touch but also wind and water repellent. A great stand-alone staple or layers in with the Carson Hoodie for colder days and nights.
The Carson Merino Hoodie (MSRP $158) is designed to be worn from the backroads of Baja to your daily commute. The Merino stretch wool fabric is naturally anti-microbial and temperature regulating, needs minimal washing and ensures this piece will be a constant staple in your rotation.
