>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 that enables breathability, water-resistance, comfort, etc. 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 techwear although the fashion community likes to lump technical clothing into this one look. 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"

One thing I really like that has come up in the chat is comfy tech (for lack of a better thing to call it)

Most techwear fits are uber hacker/military styled, and I think that's a cool aesthetic but I also have been really into mixing technical clothing with more relaxed fits.

Seems to be a look more prevalent in japanese fashion, considering most of the stuff I have seen that I would categorize as a more relaxed take on techwear is from either japanese sites and jp instagram accounts.

Wish I could grab the vest, that and the pants look fantastic.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 25 14:17:57 2016 No.11898270 How do I start getting into technical clothing? Should I go casual first, getting button downs and "regular" looking pants? What brands should I look at to get this, and also what brand to get good underwear.?

I'd recommend reading the tuxbell into in OP

Also, what look do you want to go for? Full on techninja memefit? Dystopian hacker? Normal dude in a cool gtx shell?

Lots of options for good stuff out there.

As far as underwear, I always recommend uniqlo for basics since it's near impossible to beat them for their prices.

You will cringe when you see pics of yourself wearing this shit in a few years. Mark my words. You need to get with a more casual and timeless style. Check out brands like Ervell, John Eliott and Acne. This techwear stuff is a joke. I am just trying to help, not judge you guys.
