Regular price
PRODUCT DETAILS
New for 2024, the Alston is a casual short-sleeved shirt for those who demand more from their clothes. Built with the standard Arktis engineered quality as part of our Weekender Collection, boasting a comfortable and casual fit with military function and styling.
This limited-edition run is built with our gabardine fabric, bringing a softer finish than our ripstop for comfort while increasing wind resistance over our standard ripstop with a finely woven cotton fabric. Coupled with a DWR treatment to keep you functioning in even more conditions while keeping that lightweight casual style.
Designed for those warmer climates where a lightweight breathable layer retains its wind and water-resistant properties, the A129 has a full-length button up front using a series of slot buttons on tape as found on our combat smocks. Two smaller buttoned chest pockets with front bellows keep in the lightweight casual shirt style, with space for those urgent items you have to keep on hand.
- 100% Cotton Gabardine construction for wind and water resistance
- Sturdy tape buttons throughout
- Large bellowed chest pockets with drainage
- Casual fit in comfortable fabric
- Classic lightweight design

The core concept of the Weekender Collection is simple, the Arktis quality you expect and enjoy at work in a style and cut for downtime activities. We believe you should have the gear to complete every mission you face, whatever day of the week. This limited-edition Gabardine series of the Weekender Collection combines new and existing designs in a classic tightly woven cotton fabric with a water-resistant coating. This fabric has a long and storied history, originally used in military trench coats due to its excellent wind resistance and durability. For decades, gabardine was a staple in military-issued uniforms, valued for its lightweight comfort and breathable qualities, making it a go-to fabric in harsh environments. Over time, it became particularly popular in smocks, where its soft drape and ability to block wind made it the ideal choice for outdoor and military use. Even though synthetic Ripstop fabrics have gained dominance in recent years, especially in the uniform market, gabardine has retained a strong following for its comfort and wind resistance. For many missions, the soft, well-fitted drape of gabardine still outperforms the rigidity of ripstop fabrics. With this in mind, we combined it into the Weekender Range, designed to offer well-fitting, comfortable garments that combine function, comfort, and the lasting durability that Arktis is known for.
