I would also like to know.. some of the pieces look good for a lower level tech outfit

>>8962059
It all depends on the materials which are probably shit considering it's Wang and H&M

It's still 38 posts out? We have this when it dies, I guess.

>>8962000
Oh God. I'm not saying this to pick on you, but if anything has ever illustrated why "is x techwear" is a nonuseful question, why thinking of "techwear" as a coherent category is nonuseful, it's this.

What's really going on with all of this is that older clothing codes are collapsing, and new ones finally influenced again by function, changed material conditions beyond moving the sweatshops, and the changed texture of everyday life and society are starting to develop.

Of fucking course a hack designer doing a collaboration with the world's second largest clothing retailer is going to be getting in on that.

Does it have much to do with the kind of stuff we normally talk about in techwear threads? I don't think really think so. Literally the only context I can read the guy in the lookbook as existing in is that he's just left his office in East Midtown on a winter evening and gone to a boxing gym, because he thinks he's tough like that. The kind of challenge he perceives is almost exactly an opposite number to the kind our protagonists usually do.

And if you want to look at the bare garments stripped of any context... it's one of those "what do you think about..." / "I don't." things. Some of them may have nonzero utility, but I can't imagine a single person who knows about anything else wanting them except maybe because they say "WANG" in big letters, either out of super basic brand affection, because they're Bart Simpson, or because they're a gay guy trying to get laid by grown up gay Bart with his basic brand affection.

I'm not that guy, and I don't necessarily agree with everything he's saying in that post--but dude, this is a fucking fashion board. We talk about fashion here. This is a place for no-life plebs like you and me and him to sit down in front of a screen and type how we feel about fashion. There is no "taking it too seriously" here.

In what context would you wear this jacket? Don't you think you'd get dirty looks?

I am all for dressing forward, but this jacket is just a weird piece and not (in my opinion; you can have your own) in a good way.

It looks like the mergence of a softshell, a suit, and a nazi officer uniform. Where does the appeal lie for you?

it's salomon so you know it's durable as fuck and probably it's in the top 3 shoes in the market.
As far as aesthetics are concerned I'm not sure, but they'd fit into a winter techwear wardrobe for sure.

I own these and love'em. Really depends on how you intend to utilize them when deciding to cop or not. Aesthetically they're not that attractive but as far as functionality they're great. I use them for backpacking in the woods and for that purpose they excel, great tread and stabilization, they also incorporate gore-tex so they are waterproof. They're also very durable but surprisingly lightweight for a hiking boot most because of proprietary outsole and cushioning system salomon uses. Basically for any outdoor pursuits they should be your go to boot.

Looks neat, love the brand, but wouldn't cop as it doesn't seem to have water resistance. (sucks when a bag gets wet)

i need a running jacket and could cop a nike gyakusou one for 50 bucks. it's XL but it's like 2 sizes smaller, right? is it actually a good functional jacket for running or just a gimmick?

Water resistance is super easy to treat most fabrics with.

thumbs up to you beautiful fashionable woman.

True, but it's generally not AS effective.

>>8974697
Water resistance isn't very effective period. You want a waterproof bag or dry bags or a rain cover if you actually want your stuff to survive a rainstorm.

True true, any non-shit looking goretex bags

what do you guys think of H&M x AW sneaker boots? it looks pretty waterproof?

does it really? been looking for waterproof shoes for a while
