/fa/ - Fashion

You drive a huge ass fucking camper with everything in your house inside.

depends on what you are doing

The woods will bring you low. Don't fight it. Love it. Let yourself be a dirty, smelly creature. Wallow in the mud. Jump in the river. Get sunbleached and callused. Wear the clothes that will be the least inhibiting.

You spend a lot of money. In general, just buy stuff from an expensive outdoors brand that doesn't have a lot of logos. For instance, a pack and pull outfit from Fjallraven will look /fa/ innawoods, but it'll cost you like 1500 dollars.

>>14160350
Use a lot of leather, wool and cotton you can’t go wrong

>>14160350
It's the only place you can truly be /fa/, anon.

Lots of military inspo.

>>14161386
It's not 1900 anymore. Synthetic materials easily win when it comes to practicality and innawoods it comes to that. They're often lighter, dry fast and the outmost layer is waterproof on you. If cotton or wool gets wet, it takes an eternity to dry, while fleece dries quickly.

PATAGUCCI WHAT IM REPPIN

FUCK YOUUUUU

>>14160350
full bars gorka

Neofolk

Warcore is a thing now I guess so just do that

>>14161882
More important than high tech gear is having the knowledge to forgoe gear. Less is more, nothing funnier than the guys who spend thousands on ultra lightweight gear and has a pack that weighs more than a guy lugging around military surplus

>>14161882
Yeah, but you can't pretend to be a hundreds year old wood's spirit.

>>14161543
enjoy getting wet faggot

go to hiking-fit

>>14160350
drink lots of water

>>14162864
that would be absolute dogshit to hike in regardless of weather

>>14162914
A fjällräven jacket, cargo pants and meindl hiking boots? This is top notch hiking gear my friend!

>>14161882
>>14162791
He didn’t ask what’s more practical he asked what’s more fashionable

Plus wool is damn near water proof my man

>>14162855
>Wool
>getting wet

>>14162923
I was with you until you said cargo pants, you mutts shouldn't wear fjällräven or any other Swedish brand.

>>14160356
I live in a camper lol
>free spirit
>rent is lot space at $75 /month
>neighbors are middle aged retired white boomers
>larger than the studio I was living in and paying $1.4k/month in and surrounded by non whites
I'm never falling for the rental jew again

>>14161543
Enjoy having wet, cold, cut up feet. Only to then have a bear discover your frozen carcass at night.

>>14160350
Wear Gorka

>>14163285
Practicality and fashion aren't mutually exclusive. Who decides what's more fashionable? Outdoor brands have fashionable synthetic stuff. It really depends on the look you go for, whether you want to larp as someone stuck in the early 1900s or you want to look more up to date with all the practical benefits.
>Plus wool is damn near water proof my man
Hence outdoor brands make their rain gear out of it...oh wait.

Synthetic stuff is almost always better these days. Down is the only natural material, which still holds its place.

When you have better choices often at a cheaper price point, why larp in outdated gear?

>>14163382
>not having tough leathery soles clad in thick curling hair

Don't forget to wear your l.l. bean boots friends whilst hiking.

Wool IS damn near waterproof, and that's why it has literally been used for thousands and thousands of years. Modern brands don't (typically) use wool because it is VERY EXPENSIVE to produce.

>>14164550
Near waterproof is not waterproof. If a natural material is better than synthetic, they still use it. If something is expensive, it's built into the consumer price of the end product. They use down frequently in jackets, that ain't cheap either, but you simply can't beat its weight to warmth ratio. Wool doesn't have the upper hand in anything these days, hence they rarely use it.

>>14163363
>mfw
this is how white people cope with trailer trash

>>14161882
Enjoy looking like a plastic bag for twice the cost. All city people do in the woods is take pictures and leave garbage, fitting you should look like trash while you're here.

If you are are dumb enough to treck out here without checking the forecast beforehand atleast you'll get that 'lovely' feeling of a raincoat glued to your arms, God forbid the elements touch you sensitive skin.

Why spend $100+ on new synthetics of wool for the outdoors when I could drop $15 at a goodwill and have a fantastic wool sweater/jacket combo that I can get dirty without feeling bad about it?

You can look like>>14165218
For under 20 and be comfortable unless it's absolutely pouring rain. Save money, not be an eyesore, still be adequately dressed.

And if it is pouring rain a synthetic coat isn't going to make you forget that.

A mix of synthetics and traditional materials is best, it's the color composition that is really key in the woods. (earth tones)

>Near waterproof is not waterproof.
In many cases waterproof is worse than water resistant. It doesn't breath as well and can end up trapping moisture inside the system. In light-normal rain, while you're exerting yourself physically and producing heat, you're better off going with a soft shell outer layer that lets moisture pass through it. This is the technique the US military employs in it's PCU clothing system. They have a waterproof goretex layer that is used very rarely, while the nylon soft shell layer sees the most use.
>If a natural material is better than synthetic, they still use it.
Not true. Again to use the US military example, they use synthetic base layers instead of merino wool, and synthetic insulation instead of down in their insulated parkas. This is due primarily to the lesser production cost and durability. Merino is more comfortable against the skin and naturally odor resistant, while synthetics tend to be more durable and cheaper. The difference in insulation is negligible.
>They use down frequently in jackets, that ain't cheap either, but you simply can't beat its weight to warmth ratio.
It is true that down has the best warmth:weight ratio, however the stats on paper don't always translate well to real outdoor activity. For example, when down gets wet it becomes heavy and cold, rendering the benefits you listed useless. In the PCU clothing system's insulating parka layer they use synthetic insulation.
>Wool doesn't have the upper hand in anything these days, hence they rarely use it.
Synthetics are great, but wool has its place too. Knowing when to use natural vs. synthetic materials is valuable, and will allow you to defend yourself against marketing tactics, and save yourself some money in the process.

t. butthurt 100% organic country boy

A blue Gucci jacket and idk, maybe like some type of green hat would be pretty /fa/

>>14165601
>It doesn't breath as well and can end up trapping moisture inside the system.
What is a breathable waterproof material? e.g. Columbia Outdry Ex
>>14165601
>Again to use the US military example
I obviously wasn't talking about military use (OP neither) where production cost is a big factor. Outdoor brands can have other priorities and don't always use what's the cheapest, but what they think to be the best for a certain purpose, which obviously shows in the consumer prices of their products.
>>14165601
>when down gets wet it becomes heavy and cold
That's why outdoor brands developed technology to prevent that from happening, e.g hydrophobic down.

>>14163430
>claims to love nature
>wants to look as unnatural as possible

I bet you also like having rest stops every mile on a hiking trail yeah? Confirmed goober who wears synthic jackets, goofy hiking boots, and some gay ass Magellan shirts and shorts

If you were to wear a cotton tee, wool jacket, cordorouy pants, wool socks, leather boots, and wool hat you’d look 10/10 and actually not be a massive eye sore to everyone on the trail

If guys in the 1900s could summit mountains in pic related you have no reason to go over kill on your faggy day hikes

Synthetic materials are a scam

>>14165676
butthurt city nigga

pretty straightforward. its just like city fashion but a little more conscious of warmth and water-resistance. well-fitting clothes with nice colours is going to look good regardless of it's intention.


also you can get some really nice silhouettes when /out/

what the fuck is that terrorwave look lmao, no one dress like that

>>14166767
those jackets have hoods. no weird hats.

>>14161882
there's even a park saying about hypothermia; wool warms, cotton kills.

>>14166480
Where were you, when you lost touch with reality?

Talking about eyesore, if you think, that's how someone should dress while mountaineering in present day and age, i have no further comments to you. Cotton tee...really? I too like bath in my own sweat.

An IQ test should be mandatory before posting.

>>14162855
thats the point you retard
if you get wet wearing wool itll still keep you warm

>>14165251

Är du inte alls

>>14167426
have you ever actually stopped to evaluate your favorite company's claims that your fancy plastic fabric can wick away sweat, cool you, insulate, breathe and make spoken word poetry?

>>14166784
thanks

>>14167426
> I too like bath in my own sweat.
>yes these magic synthetic fibers make your sweat evaporate instantly
>well not really they just soak it up more
>but don’t worry it’s different because it’s got “cooling technology”
>what do you mean that’s literally why we evolved to sweat? To cool ourselves? Nah son it’s cooling technology

If you sweat with anything on it’s going to get into the fabric you’re wearing and whatever you’re wearing will retian that sweat unless it evaporates out and at that point it doesn’t matter the material

Pseudo intellectuals are a plague, I think you’d be more at home shit posting on /out/

My point being is you can transverse 10xs harder terrain with way cheaper gear. And you’re acting like you need to look like a huge dork in order to do a heavily trafficked day hike.

I bet you have a beard
