/fa/ - Fashion

>what is /funktional motocore/?
/funktional motocore/ is about riding a bike/trike/scooter and being cool about it.

/funktional/ means there's an element of purpose in the fits: something suggests a 'why' behind the ride, whether it's going to the store, carrying out a population survey of coastal amphibian species, or surviving the great drought.

/motocore/ means it's a step away from the 'standard' sources of motorcycle inspo: 50s American biker culture and 60s British rockers, which have built up their own set vocabulary of fashion that extends to the motorcycle itself as a statement piece.
Instead, /motocore/ cribs inspiration from areas like contemporary South/SE Asia, or anywhere where the motorcycle (invariably a cheap, small one) is still an agile, cheap mode of transport used for daily tasks -- just as it was in the UK when biker culture was being codified.
Not that this is more 'authentic' than the 'standard' sources; we're just tapping into a fresher vein to create a newer, less played-out vocabulary of fashion where smaller, cheaper motorcycles become statement pieces.

Trade the Pvs-7 for a Pvs-14. Lack of depth perception with pvs 7 will make nighttime driving impossible. With pvs-14, you can at least have somewhat binocular vision making night driving somewhat possible. With practice.

why is that?

I assume this trend is all wishful thinking.
In reality, riding a motorcycle without a helmet and armor-laced protective gear designed for motorcycling can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening.

is that long sleeve a skelton piece?

>>17799039
that arc'teryx jacket is a beautiful colour

>>17799927
howd that go

People here care too much about safety. Brother, whatever you're wearing when in a motorcycle, if you crash above 20mph you'll most probably die ot be in very bad condition, whatever "protective gear" you're wearing. You'll just go flying, cars are the only "safer" option.

>>17802987
You're wrong - with proper gear, plenty of folks crash at 60, even 100mph and come away with minimal injuries. It's by no means guaranteed, and chance will always be a large factor, but you can swing it far in your favor with right gear. Look up the Hurt Report AND MotoGP safety stuff.

>>17803026
I have a close friend who had a crash at 20mph, he didn't land correctly and now he cannot move his legs, despite wearing protective equipment and whatnot. It's all about luck

>>17803122
Sucks to be him - he probably fucked up. It's not just gear - it's skill, instinct, and technique. I've been down at those speeds with minimal injury.

do you guys think /rog/ or helmut lang threads would've survived back in the day if anytime someone posted any iteration of ricks or helmuts "bulletproof" vests we'd have to have endless discussions about gun safety and kevlar with people who don't give a shit about fashion?

i understand it's not 2014 anymore and everyone who used to watch and discuss live runways fucked off a long time ago. but man is it discouraging to see people shoot down any single attempt at fashion creativity with concerns about "functionality" as if that was fashion's very first concern.

>>17801087
>zero (0) (none (at all)) actual fits (or vehicles) posted
you are dumb as shit >>17799211 >>17799223 >>17799391 >>17800098

>>17803161
thank you

>>17803161
There's really only the baseline discussion of actual function and safety present in this thread, feels like you're way overreacting like I'd expect an overly hormonal dramatic queen that actually watches runways would be.

Your fashion will collide with reality at some point - that's where it gets truly interesting. The aesthetic, informed by real world use, it what draws true beauty out of things as opposed to being some neatly boxed in fantasy.

>>17803255
hey guys get a load of this conformist

anybody own 100% leather pants?

>>17803282
Get a load of the people that most want this to be a thing killing their own thread to disagree with people actually contributing.

>>17802610
yeah but you have to admit there really isn't room for fashion in riding gear since they are in essence seat-belts. Might as well just squid out in some noragi or even gimpgear kek w/ a helmet.

Kadoya is probably the only one I know that is both gear and effay to some extent. If any other anon knows some brands with interesting designs, nows the time.

>>17803523
This is a total misconception though - there is absolutely room for fashion in riding gear, it's just an area of massively untapped and largely unexplored potential. There's no reason a noragi couldn't be practical, with the right layers beneath it and accommodations made to secure it as needed. I think the market for truly /fa/, but still practical moto gear that isn't just a 1960s retro circle jerk is just so small nobody is investing there.

>>17803518
>>17803529
why do these threads make you seethe so much? If there is a massively untapped and largely unexplored genre why are you so mad there's threads exploring ideas about it

>>17803532
Idk whay samefag you're mixing me up with, but they don't make me seethe at all. I think these threads are good? I'm just calling out that it's both reasonable and in fact desirable to make functionality a core aspect of the aesthetic. Do you want me to be angry about it? Would that be validating for you?

>>17803529
>practical moto gear that isn't just a 1960s retro circle jerk is just so small nobody is investing there.
hear hear. I was disappointed with how little of a market there is when I was shopping for my gear. The gear companies image of effay is a retro brown leather jacket with racing numbers. I'm willing to spend alot but there really is no design experimentation what so ever.

Alpinstars x heliot emil

>>17803548
Yeah there's very little creative or fresh anywhere in the market. It's kind of shit to put together a good, practical moto look that isn't wannabe racetrack shit or some boomer archetype. The millennial 'nu-cafe' looks seems to dominate everyone that is trying at all. Wind and Throttle for women's gear has a few interesting pieces, Gasolina boots are mega quality but still stuck in old design tropes, it's hard.

Of the major brands, I think Revit is doing the best with a modern aesthetic but even then it's really hit or miss. I do like my Akira Air jacket from them. I think one piece suits are a massive missed fashion opportunity in general - in and out of moto. The /fa/ long sleeve jumpsuit scene really needs to take off.

>>17803548
>>17803559
I thought really hard about copping one of these, but didn't end up going for it. It's... Almost there. It's almost the desertic, nomadic, grime-future, nasa-core look I want motorcycling to take us. Neo-UJMs and /fa/ gear NOW

>>17803571
not bad. biggest issue I've found is that there's plenty of neat jackets like this but its nearly impossible to find interesting pants

>>17803575
Pants is the hardest part of the whole thing - moto pants are largely atrocious and anything that looks good is either made out of entirely the wrong materials or is lacking in some other way. With some looks, I think you can get away with arcteryx or even crye style pants but it's still meh.

>>17803582
I want a jumpsuit with reinforced knees and abrasion resistance, but with a relatively light top half for putting jacket over.

>>17803584
I've been using overalls since you can still wear a jacket over the top without getting too hot while keeping wind from blowing up the back or sides as much. I plan on trying to see if I can reinforce them myself with dyneema or some other material panels. Kevlar is notoriously hard to work with so finding the right materials has been tough

>>17803591
Not bad - I think there's potential in that. Dyneema would be the way to go I think, plus maybe cinches / ties for the ankles if not tucking into your footwear. Could even add some vents.

>>17802367
Heh I’m 6ft3 and 130lbs I’m built for fashion and I’m not a giant wannbe faggot

>>17803591
Try resin-plating certain areas. Stitch and soak in resin to stiffen and strengthen.

>>17803599
that's the plan hopefully. I've got a couple pairs ready to mess but I need to get better at sewing first. Vents would be amazing

>>17803602
interesting hadn't thought of that. I wanted to see if I could at the very least add slots to use existing removable kneepads/hip pads but also being able to make my own would be incredibly neat I'll have to figure that out

>>17802610
>I assume this trend is all wishful thinking.
the original thread years back was just some fun goofing on the weirder shit you see in asian scooter traffic.

Op is a sperg who came in later and ruined the fun by trying to put his "/moto/core" brand on everything and spamming a new thread every day.

>>17807443
Whatever toolkit your bike came with. If it didn't come with a toolkit then it's shit.

>>17799888
Yea no shit. Most of these people are ugly/fat weebs and flips that think they are some cool anime character for having a retarded bike.
Its the car version of the kid that takes a hard sided briefcase to college classes. Nobody with an ounce of self-awareness will actually wear this trash and they will cope with
>"it's just an aesthetic bro"
but if an "aesthetic" is something that will objectively never look good then it is not an aesthetic, its just delusions.

>>17801087
Because it objectively looks like trash when actually utilized

>>17803975
I bet all the dirt bikers laughed at you when you got stuck and had to walk your bike up, huffing and sweating like a lardass

>>17807443
most bikes should have a toolkit. maybe a tire repair kit + sealant.

Soul gardens.
Gardening souls.

All matters.

Conjure and invoke spirits of lovelier love and funner fun.

Accelerate soul-ification

>>17807443
Tire repair kit and whatever else. As for drivers, most bikes only use ~5 different sizes of bolts. Then just some jb weld or other adhesives for repairing broken levers. Depends how far you're going too I guess. Some people even pack chain tools and stuff.

probably better made than the real ones. my p24a-s basically fell apart after a year. acr went so downhill since 2018

>>17812830
i call bullshit. i have my fair share of grievances with acronym post-nike deal, from ridiculous price increases, relocating factories to china for retail drops, endless regurgitations of their "classics" without any real innovation, their retarded nfts they did for the asus laptop to errolson just being a greedy hypocritical annoying cunt in general. there've been issues with size tags falling off in recent years due to cheap adhesive on the t-shirts, zippers sewn-in in the wrong direction, goretex delamination because some of you retards don't wash your clothes regularly or sweat too much wearing goretex jackets in the california sun.

but i have never ever seen much less heard about a p24a-s falling apart after a year, ever. i've been using stotz p10s that i bought in 2012 and worn almost daily and they're near indestructable. i've taken my p24a-s through hikes and forests; there's not a single tear, scruff or loose thread on them.

Kill the fake channer vibes
Kill the bad vibes

Garden true channer soul and threads

Memes and feels forever

Y’all well aware what’s up

Here’s to truer website for our true people

My soul ain’t for y’all ever, fake channers.

Y’all just here because you’re scared of me. Rooting around in threads terrified of finding real SOUL. Like it’s going to kill you.
Screeching at it like it’s going to stop it.

My world. My people. My community.
It’s beautiful, fashionable, and lovely.

Face it, the slightest spark of love in any of my people gives me all I want. And my people carry their sparks to truer communities. None of my people hang out here except a couple and that’s still enough to drive y’all into being to lowliest lowlives.

I love that Israel died. We plant gardens over its corpse. Helps the rot.

I regret ever welcoming y’all here. Truer channers than I would probably of actually hunted down y’all and killed y’all by now if I didn’t hold them back.

Blessings to truer channers and Nazis.
All now see I was wrong about them.
The true heroes of the story.
True souls.

VIVE Paris

I don't trust fashion brands to make gear that's actually safe

>>17797648
where the fuck do i get any of this

>>17799342
it's kinda like a vintage pattern of rucksack that was commonly in use by various military forces and the general outdoor-going public around the 40-70s. I don't think it has a particular name. The Italians and Germans used a very similar one in the 50s and Fjallraven sells a variation as well.

>collages but make it kinda skitzo.

these are fresh ngl but can't we just have a /collage/ or /moodboard/ general as an antithesis to the autistic ideals grid instead.

>>17822596
