don't forget Guerilla Group

Brands that have Techwear Clothing or aesthetic

4Dimension
>Small Taiwanese label producing inexpensive techwear outerwear, tops and pants. Quality is on par with Guerilla Group, not comparable to large manufacturers such as Nike or Acronym but they are specifically targeted at the techwear aesthetic and this is a much cheaper alternative than Veilance and Acronym for brand new items. Fit is on the small side.

Acronym
>Military aesthetic, fashion forward cuts and functions, latest technical garments. High price. Footwear collaboration with Nike more form over function. Very strong resale and hard to get cheaply.

Adidas
>Sportswear brand with footwear lines that can work with the aesthetic such as the Tubular and Flux range. Certain apparel from Adidas Performance and Originals line can be found with technical fabrics and futuristic aesthetics. Outlets and eBay can be used to find good deals. Quality is quite high for the price.

Arcteryx LEAF
>The Law-Enforcement and Armed Forces line of the outdoors brand Arcterx. High priced but good build quality and materials. Can be found on the second hand market on eBay sold by retired soldiers relatively cheap. Mix with casual elements like sneakers to reduce the military/tactical look of these pieces.

Descente Allterrain
>Techwear diffusion line by a Japanese outdoors brand. Quality and price are high and tends to be slightly over-branded for the aesthetic.

Guerrilla Group
> Military inspired futuristic streetwear that is affordably priced for brand new items. Limited use of technical fabrics and quality control is not as high as large manufacturers. If 4Dimension is the affordable version of Acronym, Guerrilla Group is the more affordable version of WTAPS.

Maharishi
>UK streetwear brand with a military/utilitarian aesthetic. Can be found cheaply used on eBay, especially from the UK. Limited use of technical fabrics. Good source of cargo pants and bombers.

>>11376585
Neighborhood Technical
>Technical diffusion line of a Japanese streetwear label. Rare and difficult to find. Check Yahoo!JP auctions. Interesting fit and use of some technical fabrics.

Nike (NikeLab, ACG, Sphere, NSW)
>One of the best sources for inexpensive techwear garments. Numerous shoe models work with the aesthetic and have some of the best footwear technology in the world. Waterproof clothing and farbics such as Gore-Tex can be found across many product lines. Nike Sphere is often discounted and marketed towards runners and is a good source of inexpensive waterproof shells. ACG is expensive new but resale is poor and eBay is a good source for cheap second hand jackets and pants.

Prada Sport
>Technical sportswear by luxury fashion house Prada. Uses top quality materials and construction is excessively good (6 rows of reinforced stitching in places). Second hand market is filled with this brand on eBay, especially from the UK. This is an affordable way to get a top-quality Gore-Tex shell. Pants are another good item from this brand with wide cuts and technical stretch materials. Minimalistic designs work with the aesthetic and colorways are typically black, navy and beige.

RLX
>Technical sportswear diffusion line of Ralph Lauren. Well-made and plenty available new and second hand heavily discounted on eBay in the US. Especially good for pants, but some outerwear softshells can work with the aesthetic. Very rare to find good technical fabrics in this brand, but they do exist.

>>11376612

The North Face
>Outdoors brand that can be found anywhere new and used. Can be very expensive and resale is decent because of strong demand from the general public and outdoors enthusiasts. Outwear shells and backpacks can work with the aesthetic.

Veilance
>Arcteryx’s minimalist urban line. Very high priced, high resale. Hard to find a good deal on this even second hand. Good construction quality and use of materials. Arguably the best quality for urban technical apparel alongside Prada Sport. Simple, mostly black designs are versatile and work in a range of styles.

WTAPS
> Japanese streetwear label with military references. Occasionally has technical fabrics and design elements. Resale of this brand is high due to streetwear demand.

>>11376615
Y-3
> Sportswear collaboration between Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas. Construction is not robust, more suited for a fashion oriented look than real performance outdoors or for exercise. New Y-3 Sport line has recently been released and provides more focus on utilitarian designs and less on the fashion aspect.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but what would be a good jacket to layer this over with?

A good, cheap techwear styled fit posted on /fa/ a while ago by Birthday.

And another /fa/ tech fit by Tesselvte, wearing Nike Gyakusou.

>>11376639
How about a black or charcoal nylon vest instead?

>>11376628
Final Home
>Japanese streetwear brand with military and urban design references. Quality is low but the design aesthetic works very well with techwear. Don’t expect any technical fabrics. Can be found on eBay for a moderate price used.
Stone Island Shadow Project
>Diffusion line of C.P. Company, an Italian sportswear/casual clothing company. High priced with good resale. Some technical materials used, strong urban military design references.

>>11376651
looks like shit

looks really cheap

>>11376702
This is 4chan. A lot of people will be on a budget and he got the look down with mostly affordable pieces.

>>11376692
Cool, added to my Word Doc. I'll save it for future threads.

I should add Lululemon, Puma Urban Mobility, and a few other brands I know have some tech-ish products but that I don't have any experience with.

>>11376702
it's actually a pretty good fit senpai

>>11376762
No problem, I was thinking of using paste bin so we have an easy reference

>>11376762
A techwear fit featuring Lululemon piece(s).

/out/fag adding a few brands

patagonia
>outdoor line with a focus on ethical/eco friendly manufacturing processes. more focused on performance than tech aesthetic, but their serious tech pieces are done in modern and fashionable cuts for the most part. similar to TNF except their garments are taken seriously within the innawoods community. Comparable to arcteryx.

Icebreaker
>Merino wool line with offerings ranging from stealth-tech to tech aesthetic. Great for F/W baselayer. Among the highest quality merino fibers you can get. Great hoodies and tech button-ups.

outlier
>casualwear looking tech line with amazing shorts and pants, but also some other good offerings. more of a focus on aesthetic than function.

prAna
>yoga line with very good stealth-tech pants and shorts among their line. amazing price to quality ratio. similar to outlier, but more budget-minded with a greater focus on function.


REI co-op
>budget oriented techwear basics line. best budget puffies in term of insulation and construction/hardware. casual look.

Polartec surplus
>Dope affordable military surplus fleeces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Great starting point for midlayer.

Outdoor research
>Affordable hit or miss (in terms of aesthetic) line, best functional rain shells you'll find under like $400 (helium 2 HD) and good soft-shell offerings.

Darn tough
>Only socks you need to own, highest quality you can get. Big time techwear staple, but 1-trick pony line.

>>11376791
Cool added to my document. I don't have experience with any of those brands so it was interesting to read. Thanks.

also IMO hiking oriented stuff is best mixed with fashion type stuff to avoid looking like you're hiker-cosplaying. pieces will be vastly superior to fashion lines in terms of function even at much lower price points. If you're doing tech and sticking strictly to fashion brands you're doing it wrong :)

same applies to milsurp stuff. some amazing gems hidden within but don't cosplay senpai.

Here is a pastebin with everything contributed so far.

http://pastebin.com/k5z2ZyB0

>>11376804
Yea I feel that way about all Y-3 or ACRNM outfits. The performance is just not there and worn all together it looks just as jarring as wearing all Outdoors brands in the city or wearing full MilSurp anywhere but a warzone.

Mixing and matching to keep it functional but urban and casual is the key I think.

>>11376812
Beat me to it

>>11376763
what are you 12? its shit

>>11376757
'the look' to look like shit? yeah he got that down

>>11376815
yeah, downplayed techwear fits are very under-rated and under-discussed. it's one thing to enjoy some goth ninja cosplay once in a while but those aren't practical or everyday fits and if you dress like that every day people will think there's something wrong with you.

i can really appreciate visually subtle tech fits, like the kind of fit you wouldn't expect is techwear but you can still leave a pair of trailrunners in your trunk and pop off on a hike in. personally i do that kind of thing a lot, so those kinds of fits suit my lifestyle.

luckily i live in an area with erratic/shitty weather so shell jackets aren't faux pas, $800 hardshell jackets are normie here.

>>11376692

Peak Performance
> Good mix of outdoor gear and urban gear, most items claim at least some degree of water resistance, trousers use anatomical forms so as to not hinder movement. Urban gear is understated and their outdoor gear has the typical bright colours you would expect.

Some of my favourite brands, especially for the UK where the larger brands can be hard and ridiculously expensive to find.

>Finisterre
Best merino wool shirts I've ever worn, soft, comfortable, worn for days on end, they come in multiple colours and styles, are made in Europe and are the best priced even compared to mass-produced clothes like Icebreaker.

>Uniqlo Airism briefs
Hands down, best underwear I've ever worn. Comfortable, lightweight, smooth, easy to wash and quick drying. I wore a single set once for a week-long military exercise and they were still like new at the end of it.

>>11376812
Appreciate you anon

>Sherpa Adventure Gear
This winter I wanted an insulated jacket that wouldn't make me look like a Michelin Man and Sherpa's is Primaloft Gold insulated and close-fitting.

I'm not much for the ninja look, I just love clothes where I can get hit by cold and wind and rain and be fine.

>>11377205
uniqlo airism tees are also a+ for techwear fits. some of the lightest weight synthetic shirts you can get that aren't totally see through and the construction is solid. regular airism and mesh are both good. i wish they offered the tees in more cuts.

agree that airism underwear are great too. easily the best spring/summer underwear. whatever brand merino wool boxer briefs are the best for fall/winter.

also made a bandana out of an old airism mesh shirt and it's like the best thing ever.

Jesus this is an actual good techwear thread

Does anyone know of any good sources for buying merino fabrics?

>>11376540
Bump cause quality thread

>>11377772

>>11377777

>>11377205
Uniqlo Airism makes great basses.

>>11377777

>>11377790
Got to go for now, keep the dream alive

>>11377790
Please don't spam random shit

>>11377794
I lied. Here's one more. ttyl

>>11377794
that's actually a dope poncho even though the button front kills the functionality.

anyone have any good tech shorts recommendations? i want something with a gusseted crotch and stretch material for flexibility, that aren't too baggy around my legs. i'm like 140lbs fit/runner's build and most shorts fit my thighs like a trashbag if they're techwear. above knee to mid thigh length ideal.

>>11378256
I've been having similar problems, I'm thinking about just making my own

>>11377769
I have a hoodie and a neck warmer thingy from here:

Is it beneficial for backwards writing people to be left handed cause smudging
>inb3 they are the smudge on the earth's surface

>>11378333
Thanks anon, but I'm looking at buying the fabric to make my own t-shirts

>>11378285
yeah that holy grail of good material and good fit seems impossible to find at any price point :c i've been able to find casual looking tech shorts with a good fit (outlier, prana) but nothing with that tech or athletic look to it :(

>>11378448
I have a pair of the acg shorts from last summer and the fit is great and they look great just one big glaring problem, they made them from 100% nylon so all they do is just cause sweat

>>11376540
w2c that jacket?

>>11378350
Legit

>>11378574
J45M-BW

>>11377121
I agree with this post a lot.
I like the aesthetic of a lot of the tech wear stuff - but I would never wear that in public without looking like a complete tool.

I think you can do some cool stuff with certain techwear "styled" jackets and pants though. You just don't have to go all out ninja cosplayer with a facial mask to do it.

>>11378735
Facial mask is definitely too much unless you're caught in a snowstorm or it's pretty damn cold. It happens!

But yeah face masks need to be low priority to broaden the credibility of the style

it's a shame I lost the glasses

>>11378747
Ahahahahahaha

>>11378739
Yeah - ofcourse wearing a face mask when you're skeeing or during heavy snowing or something it's fine. But riding the subway you look like a tosser. At least I would

>>11378749
haters gon hate
I hate people anyway and I have hayfever, also my face is ugly. Also I cycle to work in this, so it filters out the fumes from the transport.
Why *wouldn't* I wear a mask??

>>11378759
Assuming you take it off as soon as you're done cycling that sounds reasonable

>>11378759
Did you have to pick one that makes you look like a naruto character?

>>11378759
Sorry dude, I think it's just because it looks like rave wear

>>11378791
Well, I take it off once I go into a building, because there's not so much pollen inside.
>>11378793

Updated the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/GWjdChgd

>>11379497
Might want to sort them in terms of sportswear (Nike ACG and AdidasLAb), minimalist (Veilance, Prada Sport), Ninja (Acronym, Guerrilla Group), outdoors (Patagonia, TNF).

>>11377302
pics of bandana?

>>11378448
check out the japanese brand alkphenix. they're a bit expensive, but also extremely cool. really tempted to get one of their kevlar t shirt things + shorts

>>11379503
You probably get asked to leave a lot.

>>11379583
I worry about that wearing vests with pockets a lot. I remember reading about some guy getting questioned by police in public for wearing a Helmet Lang vest that was made to resemble a bullet proof vest. No dramas yet for me so far though.

>>11379503
love that GG layering piece with the grid

This jacket by BBS 11 looks nice. Anyone with experience with the brand? Even just handling if not owning.

>>11380060
no idea, but that looks dank, w2c?

>>11377777
Fucking quints and noones saying shit, lifes hard

This windbreaker from Moncler 2014 s/s looks pretty nice for those that like a bit of color.

>>11377216
>I wanted an insulated jacket that wouldn't make me look like a Michelin Man
Arcteryx Atom hoodie
Patagonia Nano Air hoodie
for even lower bulk choices than primaloft. I have a primaloft jacket tho and I love it. Highly recommend the REI Revelcloud hoodie for people in the states. They're a lot less puffy than down jackets, and fare a lot better in wet conditions.

Also none of these jackets, nor the one you posted will do shit for you in the rain. "Water repellent" means it'll bead up moisture for maybe 10 minutes of rain giving you enough time to put a shell jacket on; once it starts wetting out your jacket will weigh 50lbs and be as cold as an ice cube.

>>11378475
I actually like nylon shorts for fall/winter especially if it ends up being in a weave pattern that takes DWR well. Still doesn't help me find good tech summer shorts, but hey that's another thing I've been looking for! Are they stretch material at all? Gusseted crotch?

>>11379579
Will do chief. At this point I'll pay out the ass for the perfect shorts.


>>11379563
Here's what it looks like, I wasn't really sure how to photograph it since I mostly wear it with black poly tees so it blends in really well. Mostly just changes how the neckline on my shirts look and gives me the option to pull it over my face for shitty weather, sun protection while driving etc (I'm pale as fuck)

I can post a fit pic with it sometime when it's light outside if you really want, the lighting in my house isn't enough for it to be all that visible in pictures.

>>11380380
forgot to add, I cut the edges to look rough on purpose to contrast the usual design motifs you find in techwear. it's subtle but I like it. i have another one with clean cut edges laying around somewhere too but I like this one more.

>>11377216
If you're not worried about packability, a fleece is a good alternative to puffies and softshells for insulation as well. You can get a US military surplus one with armpit zippers for like $50 online.
The big advantages puffies have over fleece/softshells are that they pack very small, and they're light weight. To be quite honest, if you aren't an ultralight backpacker and you're wearing it for fashion they all accomplish the same thing. Nothing wrong with wearing a puffy for the look, just reco'ing because you said you don't like the puffy look.

>>11380380
Sadly they don't have any noticeable stretch but they are gusseted and the legs have a twist to them as well which does aid movement.

>>11379579
Alkphenix gear has had me tempted for a while, I'm just not that happy with ordering clothing from Japan

Hey guys, what do you think about Frank + Oak SC?

>>11380489
Looks like a good option for stealthtech

Where the fuck do i cop pants like these?I only have access to nike adidas etc

w2c cargos under $150

>>11380510
They just look like cheap cargo pants with an elasticated cuff. H&M, Forever 21 or any other cheap retailer should have something similar.
Hate this outfit, though.

Can you do techwear during the summer?

I live in a place that gets to over 100F degrees of dry heat and all techwear revolves around jackets and vests.

>>11379503
school shooter-core

it's a cool fit other than the vest

>>11380617
>Breathable tees, like Airism
>Try to find shorts that aren't bad

Seriously though the shorts bit is the most difficult

opinions on brandblack?

>>11380489
Is that the same model from Acronym?
I'm gonna cop this.

>>11380617
Loose weave cotton or polyester (like Nike's DriFit) in a relaxed cut for tees and tank tops with loose basketball shorts and breathable sneakers or Suicoke-style sandals.

>>11380631
Kimono's and a T-shirt made of bamboo fibres, looks pretty good

>>11380680
http://brandblack.com/collections/apparel/products/bracin-running-cloak thinking about getting this desu

>>11380686
If you can pull it off, then power to you

>>11380697
i think itd do well with
http://nid-de-guepes.com/all/240-cargo-pants.html
and rick vicious runners

>>11380705
Do it, then post fit, it should be interesting to see and if brandblack quality is good then it can be added to the list

>>11380686
>http://brandblack.com/collections/apparel/products/bracin-running-cloak
That's cool and interesting. Never heard of this brand. Good price too.

>>11380717
This brand looks great for summer techwear. Is it new? Lots of lightweight pieces with Asian/utilitarian design references.

>>11380719
think it started in 14 or 15

>>11376702
kill yourself fashion isn't only expensive clothing

Found this

Ventile Blouson https://imgur.com/a/x8bgs

Maybe a little inspo for those wanting to diy

any summer inspo/pieces?

>>11381216
Like those reeboks with the tights. Don't know how comfortable tights would be in high temp, high humidity though. Baggy tee is good though.

any good & cheap adidas/nike shorts?
any experience/suggestions?

>>11381220
Tights with sports wear fabric keep me cool in summer

Any recs for some decent, techwear style hiking/work boots? I'm going on a camping trip and I want something that I would wear outside this one trip.

Pic related is cool, but I can't find any in all black.

>>11380380
>Also none of these jackets, nor the one you posted will do shit for you in the rain. "Water repellent" means it'll bead up moisture for maybe 10 minutes of rain giving you enough time to put a shell jacket on; once it starts wetting out your jacket will weigh 50lbs and be as cold as an ice cube.

It's plenty water resistant and it still retains heat when wet. I've used it all winter.

>>11380489

So what's the catch with Frank and Oak? Really interested in the hoodie + outer shell, but I'm leery about the sub $100/$200 price tags for these.

>>11380617

>>11381422

this fit is probably more lunar core but its still kinda interesting and can be worn during the summer

>>11381425

>>11381417
I never tried these one, you could always buy one and then return them

Also, any recommend sneakers from Nike and Adidas that's a must COP?

>>11381422
what pants?

>>11376757
>the look
You mean looking like you're about to plant a dirty bomb in a city?

>dressing like life is a movie

>>11378747
If i pull that mask off, would you die?

>>11380489
This guy, really pulls out the look.
>>11380637
Oh shit, I think it is...

>>11382546
That's not Errolson Hugh

>>11382554
They look so similar

>>11382560
Because they're both Asian?

Exactly

Opinions on this backpack: http://3vgear.com/index.php/packs-and-bags/3v-gear-velox-ii-tactical-assault-pack.html

They have a back order on this backpack in black. Alternatively, I might just get this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Red-Rock-Outdoor-Gear-Assault/dp/B00767EKA6?ie=UTF8&keywords=assault%20backpack&qid=1465424800&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3

>>11382835
regular assault-backpack ?
go for it /fa/m, pretty much everyone has one of those.

>>11382859
I was thinking of getting the assault, because I'm not willing to invest so much into a backpack. But I would love to see some inspo.

This is my favorite style, but I don't have the money or appearance to pull it off. I also don't participate in any activities (i.e leaving the house other than to go to dinner or school) that justify owning it.

There's already a cyberpunk info graphic fyi

>>11382913
Where can that be found

>>11382862
They're all just ripoffs of a Maxpedition Falcon which isn't a good backpack to begin with

>>11383403
uhh im pretty sure "Maxpedition Falcon" wasn't the first-ever assault-backpack ??
there are like million different tactical backpacks out there

>>11383419
The Falcon is that exact style that they all copy. It's not hard to see.

>>11376651
i kinda like this

>>11378380
ID on that jacket?

>>11381425
w2c shorts? very rare to find ones with actual design that aren't just normal athletic shorts

>>11384003
Check that brandblack website someone linked before. A few of their shorts looked pretty interesting and not too expensive either.

jesus i dont get fashion, mos of these clothes looks goofy as fuck. I would literally laugh infront of you if i see these clumsy clothes.

>>11384117

dont take life too seriously. some people have different hobbies(spending tons of money dressing up like video game characters) but in the end who really cares?

>>11377794
Oh damn this elusive coat is my white whale. Do you know what it's called?

>>11384003
Nike tech woven

>>11384147
This looks too much like surplus stuff to me. I know it is really expensive techwear brands for the most part, but it just looks too much like he belongs in a battlefield except for his baseball cap. Maybe with different colored pants to break up the uniform look and some sneakers instead of combat boots this would work better.

>>11377205
Fuck off armyfag

>>11384117

That's because there's a fine line between fashon and faux pas. Seeing the difference is a good thing.

>>11384147

The /fa/ggots care, this is a fashion board.

Techwear is acceptable when hiking or in shitty weather situations, but when you wear your respirator and milsurp parka draped in twenty or so tactical fannypacks you're going to stand out like a sore thumb.

>>11384341
terrible, if this guy isn't cosplaying as a forest forager then he'd be dead in no more than one week in the woods

>>11384422
I think what he's wearing would be fine for a weekend camping trip and I think that might be the point

>>11384427
his choice of clothes and gear is dysfunctional suggests he likely couldn't stomach that even.
>jacket with cut-off shorts
>ankle socks that are cotton instead of merino wool
>horrid shoes with little to no ankle support
>35L bag
>no knife

Jesus.
This might be the worst pic in a techwear thread since Simon.

>>11384602
I still can't get past the ostrich legs

>>11384604
The skinnyfat + ginger + Beverly Hills 90210 sideburns are also a nice touch.

The only roughing it this guy gets up to is letting his pitcher go in raw.

>>11384613
Damn dude, any way let's not make this another Simon thread.

Thoughts on ponchos?

>>11384629
Looks a little too Sith Lord imo... at least this guy does.

And as far as our pal Simon, at least his stuff was technical. There was 0% technical about that awful pic.

>>11384117
You'd do nothing because you're a sperd'g out retard who can't even dress normally much less in a niche aesthetic. Go back to somethingawful or reddit or whatever faggot shithole you come from. :^)

Mountain research modular jacket. Had the chance to cop but slept on em, pretty awesome but then again i'm not much into techwear.

For the record the pic is all the same jacket. Sleeves and bottom parts are interchangeable through zips. Material wise not much tho, poly cotton iirc. Conceptually really neat

>>11384659
Oh I know it isn't technical, just wondering if any one had any recommendations and thought the pic was interesting

>>11384673

I've seen seen a few of these being sold, really cool jacket

>>11384673
cool. whats the strap thing?

>>11384673
Porter x labrat bomber

Going by porter's choice of materials for bags and things i think these qualify as tech. All those pockets

oh good havent seen one of these for ten minutes i was getting worried

>>11376612
you forgot to mention nike gyakusou

>>11384680
Not too sure desu, i'd imagine it was a strap closure but on some other pocs that strap is positioned on the back end of the jacket. My guess may be to hold something in position?

>>11384677
Oooh where? One thing with those tho is that each bottom extension costs about $100 each and the jacket itself is about 6-700 retail. The original jacket comes as the top left pic

Anyway, speaking of neat things, these grail tier Junya joints

>>11384696
Write it up then.

>>11384699
For the cycling guys

Ccp company Japan does some neat not so techy stuff.
http://ccp.fm

Thinking of copping pic related for running so i don't have to worry about bags.

>>11384671

>niche aesthetic

>>11384699
Some Japanese sight, sorry about it being that vague

>>11384712
CCP looks great, but there is still something about having clothes delivered to a different country that I don't like

>>11376651
w2c pants or similar?

>>11384745
zoom in on pic retard

Alright, I just ordered the Frank + Oak black hoodie, the motion flex pant (https://ca.frankandoak.com/product/55919)) and a pair of their lightweight jeans... 15% first order discount came to about $230 CAD including tax (so about $205 CAD - about $160 USD).

That seems awfully cheap, so I'm skeptical about the quality, especially the denim.

The Motion Pants remind me of a pair of Men's LuluLemon pants, so we'll see.

Their return policy sucks balls, too. No refunds, just store credit.

I'm off to Melbourne and Sydney for work tomorrow for a week, it should be here waiting for me here in Vancouver when I return. I'll report in with detailed pics when I get back.

Speaking of that though, if there are any Kangaroo-fuckers lurking... and places in either Melbourne or Sydney I *must* check out? Melbourne especially, as I have an entire day to kill when I get in.

>>11384802
Sydneybro here. I'd say no, our retail scene is fucking terrible if you wanna browse shops. Which brings me to the question what exactly are you keen to look at/whats interesting to you?

>>11384827
meh, I'm there for work and likely won't have too much spare time. I'll likely have a couple spare hours to get a good long run in, and I'm staying at the Intercontinental near the Harbour I think?

>>11384802
Well depending on the day i guess you can go visit queen victoria markets and brunswick street. If you're into coffee brother baba budan is good

>>11384838

Oh hey thats neat. We got vivid on atm so each night theres lights and art instalations placed alongside circular quay where you're at all the way to darling harbour.

Nearby theres also the Rocks which has a lot of old school heritage sites and the new Barangaroo area where you can go for your run. You'll be quite close to the Opera house too i think. If you got spare time you may want to visit Manly by ferry or run through the Botanical gardens which goes past the city to the harbour where you're at

Also if you like your coffee apparently Australia does some good brewing.

friendly reminder that techwear looks shit unless you're asian or white with stubble and a shaved head

>>11384899

Anyone know any reps of Guerilla Group stuff? Particularly their tapered cargo pants.

>>11384900
nah looks great with 1930s haircuts

>>11383744
Nope, sorry. I saved the pic from here a couple years ago. Wish I knew.

>>11384201
yeah, it's definitely the color, and maybe the excessive straps. if even part of that was in black or blue or something it wouldn't be as bad.

Who manufactured the jacket?

>>11385534
Acronym

>>11378747
LOL

>>11384754
I see that it says TNF, but I can't figure out what model or year they are.

Tech wear is hard in the summer, I almost always end up wearing tech shorts and runners with a metal tee. I look like I came out of a burzum concert at 5:00 and had a 5k race at 5:30

>>11386279
Just wear a black tee.

>>11386282
I have a few nike drifit plain tees but all my shorts are nike tech wovens so I kind of feel like a nike employee or something.

Maybe tech metal is the future

>>11386279
That's what I do DESU, tho most of my fits revolve around curve legged pants and a Tshirt

>>11384901

Spent the night sleeping on the beach, here's a functional summer techwear fit.

>>11381329
It's just DWR spray on the shell of the jacket, it'll keep you dry for a short time in a light shower but it's going to wet right out in heavy or extended rain.

Primaloft jackets fare really well in wet climates compared to down because they have slight water resistance and dry out quicker, but the disadvantage is that they aren't as warm for the weight. IMO down doesn't become better until you get into really expensive high-fill jackets.

>>11387158
Cool, nice to see some new fits and the ideas behind them.

is this legit?

Can anyone recommend me some nice looking earth tone sneakers? Only have pic for now

>>11387320

99% no based on that seller's history but on the other hand, Y-3 quality is so shit (like worse than outlet tier Nike) that it really won't matter, quality-wise.

>>11381621
>Also, any recommend sneakers from Nike and Adidas that's a must COP?

nike free flyknit 3.0 black. Wear them without the laces

Not sure if it's techwear but it fits into the functionality aspect of clothing.

Does anyone here know of good brands of athletic shorts with a velcro closures as opposed to elastic waistbands? Looking to conceal carry when at the gym.

Things like this but without the designs, too loud for my taste

i'm not a gunfag so I can't help you there, but functional construction elements like that are as techwear as it gets.

>>11387398
I'm an Adidas shill, anything recommend from there?

>>11387603
ultraboost or springblades if you are game heh

>>11387749
Not even close

>>11388446
Jacket and pants are both Alexandre Plokhov.

Jacket is called Storm Flap Blouson and pants are Crossover Trousers.

Both Tricky Ricky range in price.
