>What is techwear?
We wear clothes to be comfortable, to cover up our shame, and more importantly for our protection. Technical clothing, focuses on incorporating functionality through the use of textiles and construction techniques. When you mention clothes a wide array of different designs will come to mind and it goes the same with technical clothing, although the fashion community likes to lump technical clothing into this one style. This idea that it's a futuristic military style, but that's just not the case. Conroy Nachtigall a former designer of Arc'teryx Veilance explains creating technical clothing as:"It's not thinking about zippers is not thinking about seem tapes, not thinking about ... all these little elements. Those are all part of the end goal"

I was about to suggest places like Seattle, but the western American cities try to be very vintage, rustic, and appeal to hipsters. Other than that, I think the climate up in Seattle is great for techwear. Constantly cool all year round, rain is pretty common so expect to wear your hard shell every few times a week. Also New York for the east cost just because of it's just so bustling.

[Anonymous No.11844076]

You don't have the eyebrows for that haircut, and dyed hair looks silly. Your arm muscles are too non-existent to be wearing a sleeveless shirt. Your hands are hilariously small. The shirt looks silly and out of place.

Nothing about your outfit is utilitarian. It's a shitty /cyber/meme fit, not techwear.
/fa/ has gone to shit.

Also, those sneaker-boots (some type or RO memetrash?) are going to fall apart in any mild rain. They're not even sensible for normie-uses.

“Sleight had arranged for us to have a look at a garment prototype. We’d picked up interesting industry buzz about it, though when we got the photos and tracings, really, we couldn’t see why. Our best analyst thinks it’s not a tactical design. Something for mall ninjas.”

“For what?”

“The new Mitty demographic.”

“I’m lost.”

“Young men who dress to feel they’ll be mistaken for having special capability. A species of cosplay, really. Endemic. Lots of boys are playing soldier now. The men who run the world aren’t, and neither are the boys most effectively bent on running it next. Or the ones who’re actually having to be soldiers, of course. But many of the rest have gone gear-queer, to one extent or another.”

“ ‘Gear-queer’?”

Bigend’s teeth showed. “We had a team of cultural anthropologists interview American soldiers returning from Iraq. That’s where we first heard it. It’s not wholly derogatory, mind you. There are actual professionals who genuinely require these things—some of them, anyway. Though they generally seem to be far less fascinated with them. But it’s that fascination that interests us, of course.”

“It is?”

“It’s an obsession with the idea not just of the right stuff, but of the special stuff. Equipment fetishism. The costume and semiotics of achingly elite police and military units. Intense desire to possess same, of course, and in turn to be associated with that world. With its competence, its cocksure exclusivity.”

“Sounds like fashion, to me.”

“Exactly. Pants, but only just the right ones. We could never have engineered so powerful a locus of consumer desire. It’s like sex in a bottle.”

“Not for me.”

“You’re female.”

[Anonymous No.11863344]

>>11863319
“They want to be soldiers?”

“Not to be. To self-identify as. However secretly. To imagine they may be mistaken for, or at least associated with. Virtually none of these products will ever be used for anything remotely like what they were designed for. Of course that’s true of most of the contents of your traditional army-navy store. Whole universes of wistful male fantasy in those places. But the level of consumer motivation we’re seeing, the fact that these are often what amount to luxury goods, and priced accordingly. That’s new. I felt like a neurosurgeon, when this was brought to my attention, discovering a patient whose nervous system is congenitally and fully exposed. It’s just so nakedly obvious. Fantastic, really.”

“And it ties into military contracting?”

“Deeply, though not simply. A lot of the same players, where the stuff actually originates. But your civilian buyer, your twenty-first-century Walter Mitty, needs it the way a mod, in this street, in 1965, needed the right depth of vent on a suitcoat.”

“It sounds ridiculous to me.”

“Almost exclusively a boy thing.”

“Almost,” she agreed, remembering Heidi’s IDF bra.”

She can only tolerate things that could have been worn, to a general lack of comment, during any year between 1945 and 2000.” Is this an accurate appraisal of your personal style?

WG: She’s an exaggerated take on one impulse of mine. I have more technical streetwear than repro-vintage: Acronym (Errolson’s by far my favorite designer), Arcteryx Veilence, Outlier, Finnisterre (cold water surf clothing from Cornwall). The other side is the Self Edge side, where as I’ve said I really like Iron Heart. Stevenson Overall Company jeans. Some Nigel Cabourn. And actually quite a bit of Buzz Rickson William Gibson Collection.

My rule is that if Dick Cheney couldn’t wear it without creating a stir, I shouldn’t either. I like clothing that isn’t easily noticed. I know a man in London who wears Savile Row suits the way some people wear hoodies, and he says the greatest thing about them is that “nobody knows what you’ve got”. They actually have *no* labels. Very Cayce.

I saw this jacket in Paris a couple of weeks ago on vacation and I was this close to buying it as it really was amazing.

I don't need any more jackets though. :/
Pants are the deficiency in my collection right now.
