copped a 84LAB Adidas x Kazuki Karuishi Fishing Jacket. From my review on the discord:

:b:opped a 3L jacket by adidas, the 84LAB fishing jacket. Has 8 pockets at the front, c_change waterproof membrane (with temperature sensitive moisture permeabilty) and a drawstring around the middle. it's a light jacket with extremely well water and wind resistance and features two zips are the front to allow as such. this should be done without tightening the drawstrings. retail was $580 which is steep, but I luckily found it for a mere €85 on ebay, worn three times. (like new, no signs of wear).

>>12505255

>>12505256
I'm a fan of the m65 styling because it's flattering when on the body, the various methods of tightening create a nice silhouette and it fits comfortably.

To add: conter intuitively: the zippers are NOT waterproof zippers. However, the construction of the jacket is so that the zipper never see the light of day: two overlapping pieces of fabric along the front zipper fold over the front zipper to stop any water from reaching it. The red area in the pic is one of these hidden zippers: the pocket is tucked away behind layers of fabric to prevent any water from reaching a potential non-waterproof part.

w2c similar pants?

I'm getting a new pair of shoes next week that aren't strictly techwear, but I need something functional and minimalistic to go with them (the shoes are a pair of black Vivobarefoot ones that I wanted to try out, pic related)

Ideally the pants would be tapered, or at least be skinny towards the ankles to keep them in check and in line with the shoes.

does anyone have recommendations for eyeglasses that can fit with this aesthetic?

At what point is a jacket made out of technical materials considered techwear? I just ordered a Marmot Precip 2 for practicality and savings. It's not a statement piece on its own of course, but could it be styled into a techwear fit?

>>12506951
it doesn't have enough stupid worthless features and is too practical to be considered techwear. sorry

What's your budget?
Shoot me message on grailed anyway, I can probably recommend something.

I need a fresh 5panel made from something tech like.
any ideas ?

>>12506830
This is so shit in techwear terms, absolutely no function whatsoever. It's not even any kind of sport material, it's just a hoodie with cargos

This is not techwear

>>12507959
*except for the mastermind sneakers
it has the techwear silhouette without any of the requisite materials

>>12505266
vans dont work otherwise good

>>12507355
not posting this as a "sick tech wear fit", but i just wear $20 cargo pants and compression tights as a pretty easy way to achieve the techwear silhouette

I would cop an alpha industries flight jacket. Its easier to mix with with techwear for the skinhead look. The GOAT if you really wants that tech/skinhead look is to mix a bit of tech/skin and terrorwave look

>>12512427
I know what you're thinking. "Is he crazy?" Sometimes I like to shake things up with this shade, definitely draws attention.

>>12512430
Obviously I had to save the best for last. A true timeless classic that anyone can pull off. The subtle nuances of this color are unmatched in my opinion.

>>12512471
>Asian standard build is short and stocky and theyre in all these inspo pics.
/fa/ doesn't know what stocky means, wew lad this board has gone to shit now. Stocky means a big frame, broad shoulders, big chest, wide hips and thighs.

>>12512471
>Asian standard build is short and stocky
Asians are short but not stocky. If you're a skinnyfat manlet you'll look like you're trying to cosplay a JRPG character.

>>12505266
i don't like the tank top

>>12512472
midwest stocky is 450lbs and 300lbs is skinny fat. Asians are stocky ppl to most of the planet.

shemaghs are not techwear.

What part of a cloth/wool scarf is tech?

>>12512454
excuse the pic. It's the only one I have of Mr. Scarecrow on hand.

real talk:
that design is simplified, probably to make animation easier in action shots. Specific details like the pockets in mine must be tracked, and serve as reference points. This means pushing the animation by breaking the spine or distorting the volume becomes more apparent and therefore shallow.
Whereas in your pic, it's all smooth surfaces.
Smooth surfaces mean it's just volume that needs to be maintained and transferred.

It's complicated and I can't give a full explanation without heavy visual referencing, but don't try a fit based on that design.
Don't try a fit based on this design either, 2bh, unless you're using it as "inspo" when looking through milslurp.

But that's not techwear.

Any suggestions for minimalist pants? Would like them to have a clean aesthetic, somewhat muted colours (no bright neon colours) with a sharp fit

>>12505249

w2c pants? gray is a plus

>>12514859
Post probably not because it intends to be cheap, easily mass-produced, and with durability as the primary concern.

That being said, gorka 4 is a nice outer layer, but in that role it would dominate a fit and therefore be pointless.

>>12514859
Depends on what you go for - most milsurp stuff tends to be mass produced and cheap.

However, if you dig a bit further and get into the really techy military stuff like Arktis/Ark Air it can really work. Ark Air have some bonkers camouflage patterns that would work well in techy and lunarcore fits.

>>12517560
Not going to hold your hand, because people need to think smaller. Those are just brown boots, now decided what looks good with brown boots. Then find brands that use technical fabrics on what you're looking for.


If you don't know what goes with brown boots, then it can't be helped. You're spending too much money on something you don't understand.

>>12517703
I mean fuck, no problem man. But I hate to see people think that urban techwear is an aesthetic from a different world. Picking clothes for a certain situation is as easy as its ever been. Just want people to notice this

>>12514859
Military clothing has been a contributor to technical clothing ever since its existence. It can be done, and it's very easy. Milsurp can work, but lot of clothes provided don't hold much function at all. Look for brands that are military contracted such as Arc'Teryx and Triple Aught Design.

>Second how does one wear techwear in the summer

The same way you always dress in the summer, just have those pieces made with technical fabrics.

>>12506951
1) Materials that offer enhanced properties,
2) Design that accommodates a wider range of motion than traditionally patterned garments,
3) Construction methods that go beyond the traditional.

Don’t need all 3 of these to be considered Techwear but it helps.

Not him, but that's the NMN_ACR_J28, it's 3L jacket. However, I don't want to call this fit techwear, the only thing functional to my belief is the shell. But this shouldn't discourage people from posting, just don't call the fit urban techwear.

Pretty much how you would expect to style any other Acronym jacket. Shit's loud as fuck so let it do all the talking with a pair of black cargos and either some Julius combat boots or the black and olive Nike Acronym Downtown AF1s.

These threads always devolve into 2-3 losers who obsess over 1-3 acronym jackets.

That Jap brand isn't even a good techwear brand. It's just gimmick shit.

There is no such thing as "artisan techwear" the r&d put into the fabrics are done by larger brands with the money to research products.

By definition techwear is mass produced.

>>12521762
Techwear = civilian military clothing. Kandor made that hot weather nylon/spandex blend base layer that was fire proof. To replace 100% polyester

And it's made it's way to work out clothes and higher end techwear.

Been a few times (from Vancouver). Great place to visit, and can't wait to come back. Where the fuck do you shop for techwear there? I couldn't find anything.

>>12523209
Y-3 costs more than ministry of supply and generic shit like that
It costs more than Guerilla Group which is the only other serious techwear brand outside Acronym
It costs about the same as Arcteryx Veilance
In fact the only techwear brand that consistently costs more than Y-3 across product verticals is Acronym

>>12523227
there's no techwear shops in Amsterdam. Firstly, the market is too specific and the product is too niche. Secondly, this is not a city-specific country as there's little techwear being sold in store at all.

best chance is hiking store but that's just same old north face and patagonia, which has its merits but isn't wildly the aesthetic that people like to go for. online shopping gets you furthest.

>>12523567
not sure if that's a shitpost or serious, but there are definitely ways to be tech without going full techninja or autism cosplay.

Outlier, Isaora, etc offer a tech take on casual clothes albeit at a more expensive mark.

Designers like Rick Owens and Boris Bidjan Saberi also fit in with the overall tech aesthetic.

If your goal is to telegraph to everyone that you are le hacker, then that's a real lame idea. Don't do it.

>>12523578
>look or held
If only these were the only factors that decides technical clothing. Go on Tuxbell and read the guide, please.

>>12523567
Yes, you can go ahead and skim through. Look for brands under casual and tech-focused. These brands are very minimalist and subtle

>>12523209
You know y-3 isn't even techwear right?

It's a casual streetwear collbatation between addidas and you

You doesn't design for y-3 though he just signed his name to it.

Same thing as Ferrari shoes and Dior toasters

>>12523585
nigger please
they use literally no fucking technical fabrics, most of their shit is regular ass cotton, pair of jeans from H&M are around as technical as the average product they offer
listing gorilla groups as "real techwear" is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time
>If only these were the only factors that decides technical clothing
Says the guy who apparently lists it under the REAL and SERIOUS techwear without ever handling their products, you sure as fuck don't decide what's tech either, come the fuck on.

>>12523594
Why actually, they are. Adidas mainline and many other athletic brands use functional fabrics in their pieces, Y-3 being a collaboration of both use the technology that Adidas has, making the brand techwear.

The only difference is how they use it. Thinking of form over function, Y-3 can be considered as a "Fashion-over" brand, using technology only in benefit of their design.

>>12523602
I think he's confused. He likes the whole stupid ninja look.

And doesn't realize that shit like polarfleece and orange Patagonia jackets are more technical than "urban guerilla" cotton hoodies


B-b-b-ut Patagonia is like for camping. Techxxxware is like dressing like you're ghost in da shell

>>12523620
y-3 is kinda fucking shit to be honest
there are adidas collabs that are lot more tech but people jerk it over y.3 because qasas were released under it

Bike commuter here, trying to get a decent tech fit. Here are some of the items that I rock on the daily, please note that the jeans are black also:

Levis commuter jeans
Chrome ike windshirt
Chrome chekov bag
Surly wool gaiter for cold days
drz marco SPD shoes

Need a better rainjacket, mine is 2 sizes too large. Input anyone? I'm new at this.

>>12523635
Why do you have to buy into the "bicycle commuter srs clothing" meme to ride a shitty 10 speed to work?

You think clothing from brands that were hyped by teens 10 years ago makes it "cool to ride a bike to work" ?


Levis chrome.and surly aren't techwear

>>12523635
Bike commuter gear is usually tech already, but you can look into Mission Workshop among others. Mission Workshop comes from some of the Chrome Industries guys. It's a higher price point for better quality. I would just save up for one of their jackets.

>>12523602
>>12523623
>they use literally no fucking technical fabrics, most of their shit is regular ass cotton

Kid, there's more to the construction that you need to explore such as DWR. And taking a look through their store as of right now, most of their stuff is composed of Nylon, polyester, or a mix.

And your elitism, of what is real techwear. They have function, they choose form over it and because of that they'll never be on the level of other brands.

>you sure as fuck don't decide what's tech either

Have you ever thought what makes something "tech". Designers from Arc'Teryx and even articles from REI have some great ideas on the process that goes through it. I feel like it could help you.

>>12523624
Yeah that's fine, I'm not a fan of Y-3 either. But you can't say it isn't techwear, just because their pieces aren't as functional as other brands.

>>12523655
Techwear has a real meaning in the clothing industry.

It sounds like you have limited knowledge since you're including addidas into a genre it doesn't belong in.


You're basically saying a bicycle is a motor cycle because they're.both two wheeled and uses rubber tires

>>12523653
I ride 40 miles per weekday, friend. I do like 75-100 mile days on the weekends. I live on the bike.

>>12523654
Thx for the recco, looking into it.

>>12523635
Don't listen to this guy >>12523653

Your chrome items are fine, I'm sure you know already. Your bag is made of the same materials Mission Workshop uses, and that shell is of polyester and Teflon with applied DWR.

I don't know your budget, but some brands that come to mind are Mission Workshop and Outlier. And I bet you can find many other cyclist brands who's goals are the same as them.

>>12523655
>And your elitism
It's not fucking elitims you dingus, I just stated they have no technical properties whatsoever, you can larp a ninja and call it techterrorwavecore for all I care.
The whole "techwear" is retarded trend to begin with, the mental gymnastics the retards who are into the trend need to go to justify wearing things so they fit "techwear" are fucking hilarious.
>They have function
oh yeah, cause no other clothing has, this is exactly what I'm talking about, everything is techwear if it's convenient for it to be for the ding dongs who take this shit seriously

> technical properties whatsoever
Is waterproof not a property?

>everything is techwear
Yep, you got it. Everything is techwear. Uniqlo, they have some great budget pieces. GG is nothing to big, but believe it or not they're techwear. It has function, check out those resources I gave you and maybe a little on your own

>>12523696
You're wrong. You're arguing there is no definition to anything

So by your principal everything is y-3 and all clothing is a car because no such thing as words

>>12523703
What?! You're telling me that my new Y-3 shorts can't drive me to Wendy's?

>>12523679
food for though:
The tacticool siqq ninja larp thing started somewhere along 2010, and that is very generous just cause I'm too lazy to do the research and pint point the beginning.
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=techwear
"Techwear" has been a search term that has been used in google since 2004. Alaska is area where the search term has been specifically popular. If it doesn't click already, before the term was hijacked by kids wearing traditional japanese garbs and cargo pants with 20 pockets, it actually had a meaning.
Technical, functional clothing.

>>12523696
Waterproofness in itself is not, technical clothing started when the first breathable, water resistant fabrics were developed. Metal sheets are waterproof, wearing them does not make them technical clothing.
And it's not waterproof, it has DWR. RESITANT in the name.

>>12523709
Of course, functional clothing always existed. Techwear is an aesthetic making those technologies presentable in an urban environment.

What about this proves that GG isn't techwear?

>>12523710
>Metal sheets are waterproof, wearing them does not make them technical clothing.
Sure it does, I always wanted to be a knight of functionality

>>12523712
>Techwear is an aesthetic
No, techwear is term used fore technical, functional clothing that has been used since 80s for those kind of garments.
>making those technologies presentable in an urban environment
Milsurp has been on the streets since 60s, this just in: hippies were the first techwear enthusiast.
>What about this proves that GG isn't techwear?
Again, my point is that the brand doesn't offer actual technical properties in its clothing and again, I'm cool if you want to call it normcore, no fucks given.

>>12523707
By his premise it can because Wendy's can be your house no called kitten now called techcat

And nouns are relabeled to verbs and vice versa so that driving is shoe

>>12523718
Feel free to argue with any real terms any time you have anything worthwhile to say my cvber ninjv friend

The R stands for repellent

>>12522834
>Oh please, are you calling me a basic bitch?
Haha, I was saying this fit was the opposite of someone who would be wearing Prestos and a Guerilla Group tank. It's a good fit.

What do you guys think of the brand Cold-Smoke?

>>12505261

>>12523764
Some tags along with picture show C.P. Company. Might look there

>>12523722
>>12523682
You think he's bad, check out the Discord. Only a very few own anything that's actually techwear.

>>12523826
already in there m8
muted most of the channels cause the discussion is some cringy shit

>>12523375
Name another top tier techwear brand.
Acronym and GG are the only ones that come to mind. Maaaybe TNF purple but that's a stretch and it's overpriced crap anyway.
Gyak is a lower price point and it's more sports oriented.
I own some Y-3 pieces and the quality is really, really bad. Not top tier imo though they charge a premium for retail.
Collabs don't have to be like this as ACG readily shows.

>>12523826
You think that's bad check r/techwearclothing

>>12523846
Not the anon you replied to but I'd consider Stone Island Shadow Project, White Mountaineering, Arteryx, Isaora, and Outlier all "Top tier" techwear brands. I get if you're trying to cosplay as your favorite anime villain they might not be as appealing as Acronym or Guerilla Group but the quality is actually good and the pieces are functional.

>>12505288
nice focal length

>>12523877
SISP is techwear? I know that Erolsson designs that line and I have a few pieces but I always get yelled at when I suggest it's techwear because the collection has too many colors.
WM is fugly. Like Kolor, ACW and Vetements I just don't get that brand.

>>12523733
nah I get it mate, I just think acr prestos are such basic bitch material for techwear. thanks, I appreciate it c:

>>12523926
>because it has too many colours

never mind the fact that its actually made with technical fabrics and designed for a superior range of motion, its not black so it can't be techwear everyone

>>12523926
>I always get yelled at when I suggest it's techwear because the collection has too many colors
What kind of retard thinks techwear has to be all black and olive

>>12523936
B-but how else will I cosplay a cool hacker assassin???
>pic related

Thinking about it, trekking/hiking clothes are techwear. Mammut, Northface, Marmot, etc.
Clothes that are designed for comfortable fit, usually using some sort of advanced materials to be durable under stress and water-resistant while allowing for sweat evaporation.

Not exactly a black urban ninja cosplay, but they are practical and comfortable in shitty climates.

>>12523954
What do you mean "thinking about it". This is where technical clothing and the word techwear originated before you weebs perverted it into the laughing stock it is today.

>>12523954
>Thinking about it, trekking/hiking clothes are techwear

Yeah, glad you came to realization. As this might sound like a recent breakthrough in the fashion industry, the practice of incorporating functional clothing has been around for ages, seen in many military clothing, hiking and hunting gear, and so as athletic clothing. It's only till recently more and more people are taking interest into technical clothing, more new brand names come to the market to cater our desires, and existing brands make a shift adding functional clothing options to their catalogs.

>>12523963
>>12523970
Was mostly a figure of speech. Of course it's what actual techwear is - clothing designed for use in shitty conditions.
I don't browse this board often, and after reading this thread my first thought was "hey, isn't most of the stuff that I bought for cycling and hiking exactly that?"
Then I looked at the prices for Acronym and other clothing like that and laughed. A thin jacket or pants that cost as much as a used car? Some of the articles cost more than the entire cost of equipment I bought for trekking in Himalayas. Holy shit guys. You can buy nice, durable clothing that uses advanced materials from decent brands for far less than that.

Just admit it guys, you care about style first and foremost, and you don't care much about technical properties of the fabric. I mean, I like the stylistics somewhat, when it's not completely out there, but if I wanted to get clothing mainly for it's technical properties, this is not what I would look for.

Are athletic brands such as Adidas and Nike not techwear? I understand that the is bit tender to the idea of wearing only athletic brands, but what about pieces?

>>12524000
You literally labeled it in your post

Is fish not beef?

Why can't we just start calling fish cows?

Well this thread took a dive for the worse

>minimalism under techwear
>techwear is an encompassing umbrella

HI GUISE IM WEARING UNIQLO AIRISM AND BLOCKTECH PARKA IM SO TECHWEAR XD LOOK IM WEARING ALL BLACK TOO XD

tech wear is dead thanks streetwear fags

all the instagram fags are hopping on techwear

It is though, look at >>12523939
This is considered techwear now. There's literally nothing technical about this but since the guy looks like an anime character and he's wearing all black people will eat it up. Once fashion instagram accounts jumped on the techwear bandwagon it became all about aesthetics and not functionality.
