/fa/ - Fashion

The easiest pant to find with a double front zip. They're all over E-bay.

>>6269046

Wang's done a version of this if OP is looking for an actual ready-to-wear piece.

Completely unzipped. Usable as skirting or a wrap of some sort?

Please post it.

>>6269075
is that a tail?

>>6269072

These are what's actually worn in flight on the shuttle. I'm not sure if they can be had but they've got an interesting design.

>>6269046
>>6269050
These pants were also made in various shades of dark blue for the air force during the vietnam years. I *think* there are a few for sale on ebay.

>>6269080
That's where one would hook up their oxygen, normally.
tuuubbbesss

>>6269091
Thank you very much.

has anyone attempted to execute this look yet? do we have any fits?

Going to run through some RTW pants. Bear with me if you don't like them, but I really think all of these would work with the right shoes and jacket for context.

>>6269118
not that I know of. Still finding core pieces, myself.

>>6269032
this is an awesome aesthetic OP

I couldn't find the exact name of pic related, sorry.

i remember there being an extra in Prometheus, right before they were briefed of their mission on the ship, standing in the background that had a pair of big moon pants tucked into his moon boots and it actually looked pretty sick. the movie wasn't very good but the costuming was and i think is pretty good example of doable lunarcore

if i had a torrent i'd look for it

>>6269032
Been looking forward to this since that thread. Thank you based OP

I know distressing is a touchy subject with /fa/, but here I think it could work, especially with a shredded tee, a technical or heritage jacket and one of the shoes I'll be posting later on.
The 'accordion folds' around the waist, the crumpled utility pockets and the battered, dun colored textile all evoke the old Russian 'Orlan' suits to me.

>>6269138
Let us know if you find a shot. While we're on prometheus, I should mention that Pic related...

>>6269162
...is Pic Related.
They just got re-issued recently iirc.

>>6269153
i don't have a problem with predistressing at all.

i think prps does great distressing but maybe i am biased because they are jap

>>6269153
Once again, I couldn't find some of the names of these, different sites just sell them as "Prps cargo", but the proper names are out there somewhere. Most if not all of these should be available on farfetch/shopstyle/ebay.

>>6269170
I love this so much. Keep going with more lunarcore

>>6269162
>>6269170
haha, were you looking around and saw this by coincidence or did the costumers say this?

>>6269172
I think it can be done beautifully, but some folks hate it on principle.

Prps does a few like these every season, so don't worry if you can't find the one you want. Discover your local stockists and wait for the drop.

Pic Related is the closest civvie incarnation of the in-flight shuttle pants.

>>6269190
I think it's pretty common knowledge at this point, isn't it? People have been after this hoodie for a while. It's even advertised as such on some sites and you can read about the costumers mentioning it on film buff and tech geek sites.

A curved leg Jodhpur from Acronym.

Old Cloak.

A curved leg cargo flight pant from G-Star. Would buy and de-brand.

I don't have a torrent but I do have a video link for Prometheus.

www.solarmovie.so/link/play/1047984<wbr>

I'm including these Balmain bikers for the combination of accordion textures and vaguely decayed futurism.

Love the closure flap and the knees, too much.

>>6269245
please dont tuck them like that

This is from RLX and would go lovely with an imposing hightop like a DBSS.

>>6269250
agreed, that's a bad move.

>>6269261

>>6269277
That looks autismal.

>>6269281

>>6269285
It's Julius, it walks the line.

>>6269298

Obligatory, but unless you feel like getting rolled by ln-cc I suggest you consider the RLX Space Cargo.

>>6269298
>drool

Including these for people who want to take the decay route. I think the stitching on the patches evokes EVA detailing and decayed utility, but that's a personal opinion.

For the ladies, or the men in search of a certain fit.

Look at the seams on these. I think they're under $300, too.

>>6269320
those are pre tight!

These look very pedestrian at first, but I think there's something to be said for only having one standout piece per fit when attempting this look.
It implies that you serve a highly specialized function but are a citizen first. It also helps you avoid stepping over that oft fuzzy line I mentioned in the OP.

That said, these are a nylon/cotton blend, they're stronger then denim, more breathable and they're made by Outlier in NYC with American materials.

Wasn't sure about including these. Y3's drop crotch flight sweats, with zip pockets on the sides, iirc.

>>6269298
Link?

is the entire thing going to be pants

A bad shot of an interesting pant with a curved leg construction.

I think this is SLVR.

>>6269352
No, but it is going to be orderly as I can muster.
We're onto tops right now!

With >>6269227 in black...

>>6269353
whats key about the curved leg construction

>>6269365

>>6269365

supreme x north face 3m

>>6269378

>astrocore

>>6269366
It hangs on the body differently and it stacks along the outside of the knee, mimicking the accordion fold joints of many EVA suits. The seams curving around the back of your legs look subtly tech, as seen in >>6269227

It also offers a certain freedom of mobility, and acts as somewhat of a gusset. When I sit down in a proper engineered curve leg, the bottom of the pant never rides up, it stays put.

The curve on this Boris piece likely gives a beautiful stacking effect along the arms, which is why I've included it.

This piece looks right out of a seventies sci-fi flick. I think it's reversible and under 300.

A funnel neck bomber.

>>6269407

I'm really a fan of this laser cut leather bomber. Straight out of Fury 161.

>>6269423

I'm seriously loving this

w2c lunarcore basics?

>>6269409

yessss this

y/n?

>>6269427
Let's see the back.

Wow, an original concept thread.

>>6269424
I'm thinking either like pic related, or we get creative and start distressing our own stuff. I'm burying some long cotton tees next week, or I might just cop an old rock tumbler and see what happens.

Fishbowl not included.

>>6269435
yes, defintely. I've got a lot of similar stuff for after the tops are done, too.

I *think* pic related was evidence from an arson trial or something, and I include it to show the potential for distressing in this look.

probably the most viable garment on the Demobaza site.

>>6269452
i'm surprised you haven't posted one of the goggle ones yett

or do they deviate from this

Good luck finding this, you'll probably need to trawl through surplus on-site. I know it's out there, though.

>>6269476
post one. I'm not sure if they'd cross the line, tbh. I'm still feeling it out myself.

traditional styling in parts of the jacket but the huge collar gives you a lot to play with.

Do not stop posting.

>>6269488
similar to this...

This has the double zips and some interesting features, but is severely damaged by logo placement and overall layout.

A good minimal top accent if you're rocking supercomplex green pants.

>>6269439
this isn't new, this is like part 5 of more to come

>>6269484
uh ok here
this one is more airplaney though

>>6269512
That's fucking great! Thanks!

gloves when?

>>6269518

>>6269508
I'd wear blue russian camo pants with these and some white shoes/boots.

>>6269520
Haven't thought too much about gloves yet, tbh. If you have something exemplary, please post it. I imagine that the CTOMS tactical gloves would work nicely.

>>6269518
found a spacey 1

also i remembered this neato distressed hoodie i saw in a movie trailer but i was never sure how the effect was made

here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=j1p0_R8ZLB0#t=80s

Borderline. May not apply.

>>6269513
i've never heard of this brand but their site has some cool stuff

Including this to remind everyone that a genuine vintage jacket could work with this look.

>>6269531
Wow, man.
Thank you!

>glorified raincoats
>the thread

>>6269560
uh oh

>>6269565

This is basically an tactical assault boot sole grafted to a lightweight runner.

>>6269560
I think there's a lot more than just that, but here, have a glorified raincoat.

obligatory

>>6269575

>>6269488
the collar reminds me of something knoch made

>>6269578

Just for the hell of it, I'm adding this.

I think the juxtaposition of vietnam-era styling and modern sole is interesting here and could work in a battered retrofuture.

>>6269585
>>6269585
raf put out some holographic shoes that go along with the same idea

>>6269587

I want to include these but I feel like they have too much cultural baggage.

again, this would need to be juxtaposed properly to work for the look.

MAYBE the ones with flywire, but I could be wrong.

>>6269608
If faggots didn't hold these so highly I'd cop. They're actually really cool. Color scheme and everything goes together quite nicely.

The Geobaskets are already a shoe-in for this look, but I'm including these just for the hell of it. Interesting profile, arguably very versatile.

could work beautifully with tech-heavy white or olive pants.

wish i had time to contribute

One more silver hightop.

>>6269633
wait for it --

A few bags. This has a very slim profile and a unique shape. Pouches can be added to the shoulder straps for moar tech.

>>6269646

cannot vouch for quality, but I like the sectional look.

>>6269646

apparently the perforations really weaken the leather.

Mystery ranch will do custom orders if you're willing to wait and pay.

should I cop this, ma1 alpha industries 80 USD, I would dye the hood black

>>6269663
I was thinking about copping these. Can anyone vouch for these?

A few accessories might be in order. I imagine the right aviator glasses would go a long way.

>>6269673
those are from armysurplusworld.com
pic related

>>6269664
i feel like those hugeass expedition packs would work for this

like you know the ones that look like curved towers

One thing to consider picking up is a faraday bag - it blocks the rfid chips in your passport, book and sandwich from being used to track you. It also prevents cell phone triangulation, iirc.

>>6269678
Yeah I remember that thread a few days back. How long are they? I'm pretty short and wasn't sure if they would be too big

>>6269680
yes.

I still can't find a proper hat, although most Weyland Yutani conscripts would probably just have battered canvas military caps.

>>6269698

Natural distressing on a bomber jacket from active duty.

This is vintage.

Maybe.

>>6269721

>>6269715
I heard julius did some flight helmets a while back, but I could be mistaken.

I'm not saying pic related is wearable, but it is interesting.

>>6269721
pretty sure this is it, but idk source, google didnt work, can't find it on sz's archives

And that's about it, everyone. Thanks for joining in... I'm gonna take a break now and check on things in a bit.
If anyone has anything great, please add it but watch out for the image limit... I'm sure that /fa/ has some more gems that haven't been dropped yet and it'd be great to get them all under one roof.

>>6269731
Ah, thank you Twerx.

>>6269350
Look it up on ShopStyle.

god dammit poet i have an essay that's two days overdue and an exam in four hours stop posting interesting shit

>>6269799
Get to work! this will always be on fuuka, or chanarchive if Anon sees fit.

>>6269583
That looks like some of those Aitor Throup designs. I love the modular aspect. I wish we had a higher image limit.

>>6269672
Keep in mind that dyeing the fabric would require very hot water and that might shrink the whole piece enough to play havoc with the zippers.
I would recommend looking at aerosol fabric paints and dyes - you'll get a great faded look if you fold the garment along the seams and spray dye it sectionally. After it dries you do another section. If you have a good touch with the aerosol you'll get a gnarly, aged looking hood that fades into grey along its seams. Think about it.

are the other threads archived somewhere?

i'm loving this.

i'm noticing the pieces i like the most have an almost future-biker aesthetic. think akira.

may cop high tech lunarcore pants to go with my white raf velcro highs.

keep it up poet.

>>6269933
The previous thread is on chan archive. I can't post the exact link because spam filter. There were mentions of this style bouncing around in earlier threads, too. Search 'spacecore' or 'spaceninja' or something equally obvious on fuuka-warosu.

ETA: thanks for the good vibes brother - I think there might be something here.

poet is the best namefag on /fa/

>>6269531
That hoodie is spectacular - srsly. I think it could be done by one of us, with first a cheese grater or dremel to certain parts - those are the parts that will show dark. Then you use either a partial spray die, waterbase latex aerosol or even atomized bleach, dusting the head and shoulders from a consistent angle as the garment is sitting on the mannequin. Alternatively, one could leave it in a sunny spot for a few months, with objects or arcs of paper overlaid like stencils. The garment will fade accordingly.

I don't know for sure, ofc - but it would be fun to get into doing this sort of thing on a deep level. I bet I can find a book for this sort of thing in costume design, and thin out the techniques for civilian use.

Vintage Korean War era wind pants, 30 bux on etsy. If you can sew, these could become amazing dropped retrotech chinos over the course of an afternoon.

www.etsy.com/listing/117549990/

>>6270233
the way i thought of doing it when i saw the vidya was with a scratching awl/pick and slowly picking away with it over time, but the grater idea sounds much better to me cuz it wouldn't take ages to do. Thanks a 1000 bunches. Kind of confused as to what the aerosol/bleach is for, is it to keep it set?

>>6270276 is slightly related its a bleached hoodie from sf (image limit)

>>6270283
oh its for the fade effect
was confused

>>6270283
A bit of bleach just to lighten the color and degrade the fabric in certain areas. Obv, you'd wash the garment before you wear it.
Now that I think about it, the ideal thing to do would probably be just leaving it some place where the elements can beat on it for a while. Especially sunlight and rain..

>>6270304
gotcha
will be sure to post if i do it

>>6270283

the hoodie i'm wearing in that pic I've just poured chlorine over, by the way. bit of a gamble, but it can look supa cool.

>>6270474
WTF ITS YOU
dammmm

>>6270474
I'd imagine one could also buy an empty OTR graffiti marker (or make one out of a face painting kit), fill it with bleach and go to town.

>>6269362

Yeah it is, I think a few SLVR things will fit the aesthetic.

>>6269046
What are these called? What's the functionality behind the double zip?

Check out Hyperlite Mountain Gear, poet. They make extremely technical camping gear, and their bags would be perfect for the look.

Also, everyone, archive this.

>>6270742
Some of these are great.
www.hyperlitemountaingear.com/packs/hmg-stuff-pack.html

I think the double zips allow you to use the pant as an overshell that comes on and off without removing your boots.

>>6270836
Exactly what I was thinking of. And it's just a great bag functionally, too.

a lot of incredible finds poet, its a shame I've probably missed a few of these threads. you're persistent posting of futuristic/space imagery probably had a hand in my gravitation towards this style long ago. you're as close as they come to Trendsetter around here.
I can't participate like I originally intended, not right now at least, so I hope these threads are being archived one way or another.

I was outbidded on eBay two years ago on a light brown shearling mille miglia cp goggle jacket by an auto bidder. its twice as disappointing now than it was then.

isoara has a 50% off sale on black Friday, I think I might save for a few things.

can someone explain to me how to find the archived threads?

>>6269583
>made

Pretty sure that's the neck guard attachment for those Soviet hats they wore in Afghanistan.

>>6273541
and it probably magically attached itself to a jacket and stood in place without any work whatsoever

Thanks for this thread Poet!

>>6269365

I had a go at mixing that Raeburn jacket with Sousou tabi shoes and some cheap cargo shorts. I'm pretty happy with it. I wouldn't consider the fit to be 100% astro but it's in that direction. Considering picking up some tech flight pants and zipper-encrusted boots to push the fit further.

BTW the theme of Raeburn's SS13 collection is Deploy/Flight. I think he's on the cutting edge of this look right now.

>>6273628
http://imgur.com/niAAEgY

>>6270612

I've done that, but it doesn't really work out (for clothing, you can do some fucking crazy graffiti with bleach if you're into that), a pump pen is too stiff for anything not properly tightened.

The best way, if you want to do more intricate designs like this, is to cut a sponge into the tip you want and just use it like a marker, albeit with less pressure (not only will the fabric stick and bunch, it'll flow out into the fabric in ways you can't really control).

>>6270604

yeah brother

>>6269678
>>6269688
I am also interested. I am 6' 148 lb or so, 39 chest, usually a medium, should i maybe go for small? I found them for only 40

>>6273628
>>6273637
That jacket looks great up close. Interesting look, too. Thanks for the reminder on Raeburn, too - I feel like we're all on the edge of something here.

>>6271368
I'm quite serious. Not a ruse at all.

>>6273066
Hey, thanks! These threads are all on fuuka, at the very least. I'll be checking out isaora when the time comes, too.

>>6273598
Cheers, brother.

>>6273665
Noted. Thanks for setting me straight.

Here is a link to some boots I found that I think fit the theme and are more on the affordable side

>>6269731

>>6274257
http://www.palladiumboots.com/shop/us-men/us-men-footwear/pallabrouse-baggy-vapor-classic-blue-02478-096.html

so this is just military and urban techwear together

they're very compatible because they're not terribly different

>>6274395
There's definitely some of that, but this is more specific and leans heavier on distressing & heritage garments. Most techwear is unabashedly future - we're looking for forgotten futures, decayed utility and re-purposed vintage. The techwear of yesteryear, or things that imply it.
Repurposing is key here and I really think some of the look's best incarnations will come from recontextualized garments.
Contrasting old and new, fresh and decayed within the same fit might also be key, but not essential.

>>6274432
ETA: there's also a lot of direct evoking of the astronaut his pressure suits, accordion folds, helmets & pockets.

>>6269678

Are those Free Run 2s?

Anyway this is a fantastic thread, very inspiring. The tech element appeals to me and I think I'd like to try adapting some elements to fit my poor fuccboi self i.e. I am consumed by a sudden urge to look like a Sukkhoi.

>>6269527

>>6269442

and poet is back?

a lot of good ideas on here. I'm not a big fan of predistressing myself though. I prefer the cleaner look, it'll wear itself in time. To each their own though.

>>6278870
Thank you for this, I'm checking it out now.

>>6279010
Seriously, just read it. It's maybe the most far-ranging and incisive analysis of our current cultural and political malaise I've seen, and it all starts with a question one could translate thusly:

Yo, capitalism, where's all the awesome stuff in the pictures poet posts? It's 2013 and we're pining for "forgotten futures." Why are we talking about plausible garments for off world colonists and orbital technicians, instead of yelling at them for being plebs while we luxuriate in our post-work lifestyle wearing fits we literally cannot imagine?

>>6279828
Cheers; I'd love to hear any thoughts you have on it.

Goddamn, I actually really like this.

>>6269458
typical ccp jacket

>>6269531
The movie seems so shitte omg

>>6280172
There's a whole lot I want to say about this, but I've sent off most of the books I have that argue counterpoint to other /fa/scists.
To summarize, I think that the problem with forgotten futures is that they didn't take into account the way existing and emerging technologies would change the cultural landscape and make those futures obsolete.
There's a short story by Gibson that addresses this very eloquently. It's really an essay on why those futures never came to be, but it makes its point via narrative. It's called "The Gernsback Continuum":
