1) 

STEALTH CEO

 (boardroom → rooftop)

Top layer:

  • Veilance Spere LT Blazer (Black) — breathable TerraTex™ softshell with taped seams and a clean, boxy cut; a technical blazer that reads ultra‑modern in all‑black.  
  • Veilance Field Jacket (Black) — minimalist 3‑layer GORE‑TEX PRO ePE shell with a stowable hood; throw it over the blazer when weather turns.  

Base & legwear:

  • UNIQLO AIRism Cotton Oversized Tee (Black) — the cult “dress‑up tee” (cool‑touch AIRism with cotton face); UNIQLO lists it as a 2024–2025 best‑seller.  
  • lululemon ABC Pant (Black, Warpstreme™) — matte, wrinkle‑resistant, stretch five‑pocket or trouser silhouette.  

Accessories:

  • G‑SHOCK GA‑2100‑1A1 (“CasiOak”) — all‑black, slim carbon‑reinforced case = stealth wrist armor.  
  • Oakley Sutro Lite (Matte Black / Prizm) — high‑wrap, semi‑rimless frame with Prizm lenses for crisp detail; totally at home in a cyber aesthetic.  
  • Aer Pro Pack 20L (Black) — clean, office‑ready daily pack with thoughtful organization.  

2) 

STREET OPS

 (build mode, city miles)

Mid + shell:

  • Arc’teryx Atom Hoody (Black) — the do‑everything synthetic midlayer (Coreloft®) that stays warm even if damp.  
  • Optional shell upgrade: keep the Veilance Field Jacket here too for rain/wind.  

Bottoms & footwear:

  • Nike ACG “Smith Summit” Zip Cargo (Black) — quick‑dry, water‑repellent, with zip‑off legs and loads of pockets; built for movement.  
  • Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low GORE‑TEX (Black) — sticky rubber outsole, foam comfort, and GORE‑TEX details; rugged but sleek.  

Carry & gloves (optional):

  • Mission Workshop Rhake VX — X‑Pac 3‑layer shell, Fidlock® magnetic buckles, purpose‑built pockets; a lifetime backpack vibe that matches the look.  
  • Arc’teryx Mantis 2 Waist Pack (Black) — discreet phone pocket; low‑profile crossbody/waist carry.  
  • Mechanix Wear M‑Pact (Black) — impact‑damping D3O® palm & TPR knuckle protection in an all‑black glove for hard‑use tasks.  

3) 

CARRY‑ON COMMANDER

 (founder travel kit)

Statement shell:

  • Vollebak “Full Metal Jacket” — Black Edition — woven with ~11 km of copper fiber under a waterproof/windproof/breathable membrane; a literal “clothes from the future” piece in matte black.  

Footwear (rotation):

  • Salomon XT‑6 (Black/Black/Phantom) — the technical trail classic with Quicklace and serious traction; the industry’s go‑to stealth runner.  
  • On Cloud 5 Waterproof (All Black) — light, waterproof, CloudTec® comfort for airports and long days.  

Luggage:

  • Aer Travel Pack 3 / Travel Pack 3 X‑Pac — streamlined carry‑on with smart organization; the X‑Pac version ups the weather resistance. (TP3 is listed at $249; X‑Pac at $279.)  

Cold‑weather swap:

  • Descente ALLTERRAIN “Mizusawa Down” (Black) — seam‑welded, water‑resistant down with hood systems and venting—a rare waterproof down approach.  

Bonus: 

Monochrome Research Line

When Eric wants a darker, slightly more experimental vibe, rotate in:

  • Stone Island “Ghost” series — fully monochrome pieces (logos and trims blacked‑out) across jackets and knits.  
  • Guerrilla‑Group — tactical silhouettes, DWR fabrics, and shape‑memory nylon in blacked‑out shells.  

Budget‑friendly swaps (keep the stealth, save the budget)

  • UNIQLO BlockTech Parka (Black) — windproof, water‑repellent, matte finish; a great everyday shell under $100 (men’s & women’s versions).  
  • Aer City Pack Pro 2 (Black) — everyday backpack with lay‑flat main and ergonomic harness (if you don’t need the full Travel Pack).  

How to nail all‑matte‑black (and not look “flat”)

  1. Texture stack: combine matte shells (ePTFE/GORE‑TEX), softshell blazers, and knit tees so the light reads “depth,” not shine. (See Veilance and Atom constructions.)  
  2. Volume control: boxy blazer + tapered cargo keeps the silhouette future‑leaning without going costume.  
  3. Utility pops: Fidlock® buckles, magnetic hardware, and modular pockets add motion without breaking the monochrome.  
  4. Tread matters: trail‑born soles (XT‑6, Mountain Fly 2) make black look engineered, not basic.  
  5. One “icon” per fit: a Vollebak shell or a Ghost piece—never both—so the look stays composed.

Want me to tailor this 

exactly

 to Eric?

Tell me his height / weight / typical sizes / inseam / shoe size and primary climate, and I’ll convert this into a precise size map + 7‑day outfit rotation. In the meantime—this capsule already slaps in matte black. Let’s make Eric look like the future. 🚀
