I want to transition to a style that is more like techwear. I really like all of the techwear items but they seem expensive and I'm interested in getting into this while being a not too wealthy college student. I have picked up a couple of items to start the transition (black and white flyknits and a black r2 arkiv field pack) but I don't know what to get now. I am hoping for some more technical pants that aren't too expensive such as the levis commuter cargos, but those aren't in stock in 28 at the moment. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Pic related but way out of price range.

I just got these from nordstrom for two hundred. They're multipanelled fabric but really light and the taper is good even though it doesn't show here. Not for everyone but I can't stop looking at. The thin fabric feels like parachute material in places. Construction is solid.

its really not hard. honestly being literally on the bottom since birth has given me so many new perspectives on life. survivability was not high for a underdeveloped child like me so i had to be placed in a incubator box thing for a while but 24 years later i haven't given up. god abandoned me friends used me ect ect blogshit, i have to work for everything i own and the respect i get even if im still being looked down upon. though it would be nice to get better outfits that fit on me, that exclude kids shopping, im proportional but a tad longer legs would be nice for clothing related issue
if anyone wondering dated taller girls, ex is 5'9" curent is 5"5

Inseam is never long enough on Julius Cargos. Pants go to 45" but cargos I can't seem to find past 32. I also wanted frontal pockets, like flight pants and Pic Related.

Have you guys seen this brand called Location?

http://www.locationclothing.com/

They're cheap as all fuck. Like unreasonably cheap. This jacket is 30 GBP (!?!)

I get the feeling this is part of some weird UK industrial/goth/rave scene that I've never heard about. Anyone care to shed some light?

these might fit if you wear them low on your waist, the inseam is only ~30" but the total length is closer to 40" so you can defiantly get some extra length out the pants if you wear them under your natural waist like most people do anyways, plus it has straps on the cargos for adjusting the leg shape

I should hire someone to do this shit for me because I'm really making no headway. I know I can google translate stuff like this, but halfway through the buying process I always get the "fuck-its".
It's scary, man. Yahoo JP auctions intimidates me. There, I've said it.
I'll have some julius cargos one day, but not until I can get the fit right IRL. I've had pants I really loved before that were a bit too short and it always drives me up the wall, I swear.
I'm 6'3", after all. Even 34 seems to be pushing it some days and 30" inseams would probably look like Thom Browne Tactical or something.

yeah dude i feel u I was like that at first too, but I got used it and I've gotten crazy deals on there

I'm pretty confident these will fit though, the rise is 11", you don't really need a rise that big unless you're wearing it at your belly button. you should measure from your adonis belt to the top of your thigh then subtract that number from 40" and you have the inseam length + julius cargos are meant to be worn with boots, they don't need to reach your ankles anyways

just my 2 cents doe

I wonder what those joddies look like while walking. They appeal to me for a couple of reasons, but I'm wary that nobody ever stands like that irl. Similar problem to the YesStyle jackets.

goodluck dude

10,000 is a solid price too, a little over a bill before shipping and fess, you could probably sell it on ebay or something if they didn't fit for about the same maybe even a profit

thats what I did at first, but i was getting julius tees for like 60-70 and flipping them for 150+

5'7" here, I can confirm we're short, we're just not really short where women are interested in your shortness. When you're sub-5'5", women are interested in you in another way, but when you're our height, they just assume you're 14.

girls will ask about ur height bc they will be curious of 'how short are you' as apposed to 'how tall are you'.

also there are girls who like short men, whether they are shorter than average males of even shorten then them.
