>>6689634

You can find them on Ebay now for around 1k USD

>>6689658
who is this? where to find more?

Will this jacket work a size too large (medium instead of small) or should I wait? I'm gonna remove the leather bits btw.

just cop'd

>>6689762

are lunarcore/retrofuture sandals possible?

>>6689867
vivo barefoots b, otherwise check out visvim or undercover.

>>6689765
what are these?

>>6689727
are those just pin rolled levi commuters?

>>6689952

lets say just as a fun thought experiment that I wasn't willing be put out onto the streets in the name of expensive sandals, what brands/pairs would I look into? (those vivos are nice though)

Any coments on this jacket?

I really like the shape/color, plus its a pretty good brand.

$216

>>6689991
garbage

>>6689746

Wait for your size. It looks good in the trim fit on the model. Also you will want it trim for functional purposes - it'll make it easier to put a waterproof layer over it.

>>6689779
These are sweet.

>>6689779
Goddamn I'm looking at them more and I still love them. Most attractive pair of PFs I've ever seen. Polite sage

>>6691733

w2c these jawnz?

I think half of /fa/ is a little confused about what techwear is...

>>6689727
Damn that's nice
Is this you?
If so, are those levi commute?

>>6690093
Would look better if it was less fitted in my opinion.
Otherwise, the tone is nice and the branding is very subtle.

>>6691966

it's from sufu and i think they are qlo

>>6691952
techwear!=lunarcore!=gothninja northface shit

this is techwear
>>6689727
>>6689724


these incorporate elements of techwear
>>6689731
>>6689658

these don't belong here
>>6689635 (lunarcore with no special fabrics)
>>6689633 (see above)
>>6690291 (Naruto goes through his emo phase)
>>6690318 (gothninja shit)

>>6692172
Who cares, there's crossover and a lot of people like all the stuff. Do you think there should be separate threads for each thing you listed?

>>6692198
Nah, I actually find the prolifieration of new fabric technologies into other styles quite interesting. It just seems disingenous (if not outright confusing) to include items that don't really fit into the style here because of the material they use. Then again I guess that means I'm arguing techwear is defined by its aesthetics instead of its fabrics which is probably a larger leap than I should be making

>>6692172
Policing definitions and threads is at best useless, to be honest. Techwear as a *style* is almost entirely a creation of the Internet, and very new, and even if you look at streetwear threads, you see people posting everything from Visvim to Rick inside. Most of us aren't here to systematize everything; we're here to look and think about clothes and fashion and to dress ourselves. Crosspollination is useful.

>>6689731
>>6690291

Are both from Acronym, which is as close to a pur sang techwear brand as there is. >>6690318 is from Aitor Throup, who's about as avant-garde as it gets, but making stuff that's practical and designed for human bodies is pretty much what he's about. That it's weird or theatrical or doesn't invalidate it as practical or technical. It's also not very goth or ninja at all - the title of the collection he prepared for his MA degree pretty much sums up his aesthetic: "When Football Hooligans Become Hindu Gods."

But could you stick that hat into a gothninja fit? 'Course. And >>6689727 could stick it on his head and it wouldn't look at all out of place. Hell, you could stick it on a rando American tourist and it wouldn't look out of place. It's almost insane how flexible it is considering its origins. Then again, it is just a ballcap with an interesting construction.

>>6692589

As far as the trainers go, if we're going by function, *all* trainers are at least theoretically techwear. And I think we should be going by function, because what does techwear mean if not clothing that's functional and maybe whose form directly follows from that function? And functional is different in different contexts: think the idea of "social engineering" in hacking. Neither of the fits you listed as techwear would be very useful if I wanted to, say, spend a night out on the town, except at venues that don't have even an informal dress code.

Plus, I think what we should be doing is encouraging and helping people to develop personal styles, not hew to archetypes half-cooked up the Internet hivemind. John Leonard had this great line: "use theory only as a periscope or a trampoline, never a panopticon, a crib sheet or a license to kill." If theory should be treated with that reluctance - and it should - all the more so for buzzwords created by Internet randos. Descriptive, not prescriptive. Etc.

And all these different buzzwords share similar concerns, aesthetically and technically, and more importantly, the same people on /fa/ seem to be interested in talking about them, for the most part.

Finally, pure styles are just boring, really. Who still gets excited looking at someone in an assymetric raw tee and pod shorts, or a bog standard OCBD and chinos, or a pair of Outlier slacks and a windbreaker?

Oh, and remember the rule: post more of what you want to see instead of complaining about what other people are posting. Not a moral rule, a practical one.

>>6692600
Egh, and wow I was repetitive with some words in that.

>>6690071
>$26.99

How's the material?

>>6690093
Sounds like you should get it.

>>6690062
It's kind of hard, at least for me, to imagine retrofuture sandals, let alone lunarcore ones. SciFi usually only shows sandals when it wants to evoke Greece/Rome/Persia/whatever.

Especially for Lunarcore, these discontinued Vivobarefoots (the "Leonidas," actually) seem very possible.

Otherwise? I'd think just the most practical, spare sandals out there - the kind you'd get issued on a climate controlled spaceship where they no longer consider sandals too casual. Teva/Chacos/Luna if you want a barefoot sole.

I think looking for something like a breathable mesh top slipper would work better.

The current Vivobarefoot sandals are awesome, visually and functionally, but they weight the "future" (versus the "retro") really hard, and they seem very civilian, versus the more militaristic look you usually get with retrofuture-y stuff.

>How's the material?

I'm not gonna get that many runs out of it, you can only dress full astronautmode so many times especially with the same fit. For stuff like that I dun rilly care about material beyond how it looks in the pics.

Any nice digital watches? So far all I've really found are Casio and Suunto.

>>6693890

yea I have two casios (a black and a gold), might cop one like you pic.

I do like Suunto too but they're rather large

>>6694031

all people are gonna see from that is cargo shorts and metal tees cant-dress-myselfcore manchild

>>6693396
agreed

amidoinitrite?

Posting some Klättermusen. You can only order this shit in EU apparently. Seems to be very well thought-out technical outerwear. Watch the videos on their youtube channel for the gory details.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_cAg_Ak-vM

Gives ACR a run for its money, pricewise. The black and grey pieces definitely fit into this aesthetic though. Functionality wise they are top notch, backpackers, skiers and climbers rave about them.

I live in the UK so that isn't really a style here

>>6689724
saw this the other day and nearly bought it, only 20 pound bruv

What do you guys think about Y-3? I'd image you tech guys wouldn't shit on it as much as everyone else is.

>>6694659
FW13 footwear had some great stuff, pic related is probably the most techy, just waiting for it to hit the UK site

>>6694659

they have one or two nice lunarcore boots but most of their stuff is nonsense

>>6694761
Oh snap, that's orbital-tier right there.
I shouldn't come here until my checks clear, this is dangerous.

>>6695014
Why is that? Just the designs? I love the majority of their stuff.

>>6695037

The Warrior and Qasa have gotten a lot of love (and hate) around here. Knoch did a Warrior fit that set the bar really high for space-inspired fits.

I like some of the FW13 SLVR stuff better personally. Pics related.

Other than the logo near the bottom of the zipper yeah, it's good.

Techwear is retarded, you all look like poor latino workers who scavenged their cheap jacket off the street of whatever surburban white neighborhood they work at. Stop spending so much to look so poor.

I'm not really in to this tech shit but I think this parka is p cool

If you don't like techwear just hide the thread, no need to shitpost in it. Do you see me shitposting in your "w2c shoes that are like these designer shoes but for only $100" threads!?!?

I really love all the stuff posted in these threads, but I rarely see fits with any of the gear people are copping. Do you guys want to post some fits in this style in this thread?

>>6698955
This style of outfits is what's concidered cheap and low class. Go to any wallmart or any general warehouse store.

>>6695183

Those are some nice fucking jeans.
