- small form factor for quick evasion
- no hair to leave evidence when lurking
- earrings make a quick improptu weapon

Personally I can't be bothered to put it on with the jacket 90% of the time. Does look p cool though

Can anyone recommend any non-black non-acg cargos? (already have too much ACG crap)

Also what does /fa/ think of incorporating some military surplus into the fits?

Why is gore-tex so expensive?

>>12223982
Because you get what you pay for, the best water repellent technology you can get into clothing. It's made a name for itself even outside the techwear community

>>12223529

Yes, I do when I'm taking the Tube in London because it's too damn hot in the trains.

>>12223988
this

You can get Gore Winstopper or Gore-Tex Pac Lite which are a bit cheaper.

I have a full gore-tex set up for my snowboard gear. One day it was nonstop/slush raining and everyone in my group was drenched and off the mountain by 12pm. I stayed on the whole day and was completely dry (except for gloves).

It's 100% worth it and not a meme.

>>12224210
Looks pretty good, great start for the aesthetic
>>12224254
It's OK.

>>12224254
I have these in all black leather, kind of regret not getting white, but they're great trail runners and keep my feet dry and warm. Nice and light.

>>12224254
>>12224426
Are the canvas version either waterresistant, or waterproof?

>>12224453
I doubt they are, but I'm sure a gloss over in DWR or mink oil (if black) would help.

Someone talked about making the Nike Bonded Pants Even darker than it is. Do anyone of you have any experience with this?

>>12224955
I've realized pulling off a good techwear fit means there is a lot of things going on with your jacket, bag strap, pants.

This is really what makes or breaks it, how many pockets, dangling straps, and cargo pouches you can fit in. Plain pants and outershells with minimal pockets don't really pull off the 'look'.

IDK something I have noticed.

Any pants recs?

I'm looking at some Y-3s for a outfit but it doesn't have many pockets and neither does my jacket so I'm reluctant to pair them together.

Maharishi is a look I'm into. Besides storage I'd need wind or cold resistance.

Vince Vaughn approves

Vince Vaughn is perfection and one of the gods of techwear. His small yet built frame is ideal for urban exploration, Vaughn regularly conquers large and vast city scapes in his godlike tech fits. Vaughn is trained in parkour and free running, which is essential for his deep urban exploration. His IDEAL size lets him slip through small spaces are escape security when then attempt to catch him. Vaughn has worked with many leaders of the techwear industry to create pieces to fit his perfect body, this includes the worlds only XXXS J1-A and size 2 yeezies hand stitched by tech connoisseur Kanye West himself. Vaughn is rumored to be working with hugh currently on a signiture XXXS small range, this will encourage fans of techwear to undergo surgery to achieve the perfect body.

I guess, but there is no longer any skill in photography, its kind of like streetwear fashion.

It's just expensive lenses and a grasp of the rule of thirds. Pretty lame.

For the qasas you need wider pants to balance them out, and then the top showing from under the shell is pretty played out, the rest were pretty much just streetwear

Is there a way to get rid of the branding on Y-3? I love Techwear, love Yohji, but Y-3 is disgusting because of its endless branding.

>>12231288
rubbing alcohol works on most laminated branding,but I'm unsure how it would effect the fibers used in a lot of technical clothing.I believe there is also a way to use heat to make the branding able to be peeled off.
requires a heat gun tho.

>>12231602
yeah I'd do it on a shirt or something from ebay they can go between $45-$80 so not a crazy wallet sore if it does mess it up.
I do not know if a blow dryer gets hot enough,maybe for long periods of time? The heat may also effect the synthetic fibers though.
this all may not work on something like y-3 where the logo might just be part of the weave,it would require trial and error.

Welcome to /tech/ newfriend.

Techwear isn't one monolithic style controlled by all black-ninja-strap-octopi, it's actually a conglomeration of multiple influences and styles.

Even your dad wearing 5.11 can be considered techy. Tech is just a way to describe both an aesthetic and a utility in clothes brought on by technical fabrics and production of clothes.

There's about six sub-genres of techwear, including Techninja, Gray-man, Sport, Milspo, Casual, and Outdoorsy. Each has their own look and ways of utilising technical aspects.

The minimalist look you're thinking of is Gray-man and is not very common in these threads or on IG because most people associate tech with tech ninjas and the majority of high-quality tech inspo photos are of techninjas. That is not to say that gray-men don't exist, look at Arc'teryx Veilance and Mission Workshop as gray-man brands, and the likes of William Gibson for inspo

Definitely sounds like self-pitying.

Any type of fashion looks good on anyone, it's just what capitalist society has told you that has changed your perception on the notion of what look good on who specifically.

they are harder to pull off than regular qasas.

i have these in all black. they don't go well with jeans for me. it just does not fit together very well. black ones are mostly fine though. i prefer them with joggers so you can put the pants inside without it looking stupid. with this colorway you will be fine with any white/grey/black joggers. and good luck with the lacing, apparently my legs/feet are weirdly shaped and it took quite a while to make them look good.

Nope, I couldn't bring myself to cut the straps so I used long shoelaces from a pair of high tops and just pulled them through the holes.

Vintage Gibson is a better example of grayman, but yeah he did that whole interview about not wearing branding and now he walks around in full fucking meme.

I want to get this parka https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/men-blocktech-parka-182573.html? But I'm not sure if I should get it in black or grey, or if I want a fit that's close to my body or a bit loose. Help?

>>12243364
Gray, If you don't have a black shell.

>>12243392
thanks for the help, but what is meant by a black shell? I'm a bit of a newfag and I'm trying to improve the way I dress. I only ditched my cargo shorts last year.

>>12223303
I can't help but feel like this a kind of cosplay. You are trying to emulate a late 80'ies vision of the future. In my mind it's like wearing a fishbowl and those Jetsons antennae. You eschew the actualities of fashion in order to play-pretend living in a world of streetninjas and mindhackers during your everyday life.

In the end it's not that egregious and at times i am truly jealous of that kind of self-fulfillment. So i guess rock on weirdo urban fashion techies?

>>12243411
A black hard shell is exactly that, a black hard shell (usually made of goretex or neoshell, some 3 layer membrane material either way) but for starting out going all black everything might not be the best idea

Why do I even try to write this.

>>12243441
Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure ?), a contraction of the words costume play, is a performance art in which participants called cosplayers wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character.

Nobody here is emulating a character. You are describing the hammed up component of techwear that exists on Instagram only. Get the fuck off my fashion board newfag.

fuck you vaughn

>>12243611
nah i'm gonna stay cause it's interesting. Of course i don't think it's literally cosplay, but there is certainly an element of dressing up. Maybe a comparison to the steampunk or neopunk crowd is more apt. I get that this is only really glaring in the more "hammed up" photos, but a lot of these companies seem to use exactly that for their promotion. basically i think it seems like everybody is trying to look like videogame concept art.

feel free to elucidate me on the core tenets of the movement or to show some more subtle everyday examples.

>>12239124
Holy shit that looks amazing, do you know the length of the laces you used?

>>12239124
Can you maybe post some more pics?
That looks amazing and I want to do it myself.

>>12243562
>>12243604
Thank you

>>12243912
literally any style can be argued as "dressing up"
you're too basic wrt fashion to understand it seems

>>12237641
I like the thing he has going on here. It's not too overt, but you can definitely notice that something is going on. You could walk past him on the street without noticing, but sitting down with him, you'd notice.
