Post your inspiration, w2c questions, rants about the definition of techwear, cringe fits, brand and item recommendations, movies/games/comics recommendations, whatever the fuck you want.

Dumping the pastebin a few anons on /fa/ put together a few weeks ago. Feel free to critique or add to it for the next pastebin.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mission Workshop
> Cycling oriented designs, high quality construction, use of technical fabrics ranging from neoshell to schoeller textiles. Designs are clean, prices are moderately high. Also a source backpacks and messengers with very high build quality.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Stone Island Shadow Project
>Diffusion line of an Italian sportswear/casual clothing company. High priced with good resale. Some technical materials used, strong urban military design references.

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.

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.

i think doing it on the cheap can be really fun though. you get to learn how shit needs to fit to get the silhouette right, what features you need for your lifestyle. you have to search and hunt on ebay and surplus and thrift stores to get the crap you need. you cant just order all ACRNM from their online store. i think you could create your own style over time doing it that way and would be more rewarding.
i have stuff from veilance and guerrilla group but my most worn items were surplus or used finds.
it can be a fun challenge and save money at the same time. by the time you have a good job you'll know just what to get as well so you dont look like those dudes on superfuture in full acronym but arent pulling it off

A couple of labels I'd add

Dahlgren makes fantastic socks out of alpaca and merino wool. Both the design and performance are pretty techy. Made in the USA as well. I wear these and Darn Tough almost exclusively now.

Black Rabbit is a Japanese label doing modern takes on military pieces. The fabrics aren't techy but a lot of the silhouettes and details are. BR is more of a retro futuristic look like Blade Runner or something.

Japanese street/techwear label that is so unique that I can only describe it by comparing a bunch of things. Think Patagonia classic tech mixed with relaxed Cali style mixed with crazy Japanese over the top colors, prints, & patterns. Definitely not for the darker tech ninja look =]

there's a definite retro future dystopic aesthetic pervading sci-fi movies of the '80's

I'm listing them because they're either influential or relevant to the discussion of techwear.
Which i assumed was the point of having a techwear general thread.
>otherwise u better put burberry, versace, eddie bauer
The sticky includes prada sport the brands i mentioned are more relevant to a discussion about techwear.

>>11604278
The blog was just a suggestion.
Despite it being 3 years old it offers some solid advice and places to start looking for the absolute beginner
Assuming, if the sticky is meant to be a buying guide which it seem to be.
Based on:
>background information on designers is kind of going off on a tangent
and what >>11604286 said
> aitor is not really relevant to most consumers
>SISP is on the list and way more tech than SI and CP

If the point of the thread is to be a buying guide then it would make sense to add it in my opinion,

prada sport has been doing techwear and kept that theme way more than issey or undercover. i like issey and undercover but they would fit more in a cyberpunk look especially with some of their vintage stuff. they are not a dedicated tech brand though like Prada sport is.

Can't recommend a shoe without knowing what you need specifically, but I can recommend outsole styles:
- Nike Free SFB sole - Good tread, lasts longer than most Nike shoes, typically comes with waterproof options
- Adidas Boost - Comfortable, but doesn't last as long as other alternatives
- Nike Free - Comfortable when in motion, but doesn't last long
- Nike Lunar - Comfortable, lasts for a decent amount of time

If you have enough money for a Qasa, you have enough money for a plethora of other options. You could try the Acronym Lunar Force 1s, or the upcoming Acronym Prestos.

>> No.11608460

You do make a point about doing a write up on them. To be honest i didn't think I would have to justify designers and labels that are obviously techwear /obviously had a huge influence on techwear.

My original comment was making suggestions critiques of things to add didn't mean to come off as whiny.

While not limiting itself to techwear because that would make jun a shitty designer there was a roughly 5 year period where UC was doing almost strictly techwear or collections that featured tech pieces. So yeah they're absolutely tech and deserve mention in a techwear thread before prada sport

Issey is a bit of a weird one i'll admit but basically he deserves mention because of his influence of the designers, concepts and ideas that currently make up techwear as well as the consistent developments in fabric technology and treatment techniques that have been implemented by Issey Myake and his company. You don't actually have to dig very deep into past Miyake collections to see great examples of tech pieces AW13 and 14 menswear come to mind immediately and there are plenty of examples of tech pieces from over the years including the windcoat line which spawned final home.

Are we talking about the Sock Darts and the ZX Flux Slips?

I give the Sock Darts a pass because even though it was designed twelve years ago, it still manages to maintain (what I would consider to be) a contemporary design language.

I'm wouldn't say the same for the ZX Flux. I think that the slip on version was poorly executed. They don't necessarily look like an old person's shoe. Rather, I'm not sure what the demographic for that sneaker was.

I'm not saying that all slip on sneakers look like they were made for the elderly. I'm saying that these Pumas specifically look like something that was designed for the elderly.

i really dig demobaza and some of my favorite pieces are their long coats and shawls/hoods.
however, i'm 5'2.
would wearing these kinds of fits just make me look like a tiny hobgoblin? i've heard to stay away from really long things (maxi dresses, long skirts, etc) if you're short as it draws attention to exactly how short you are.
would these sorts of things be a bad idea?

its fine if you are slim and if its cut for you. a lot of short people look bad even in XXS sized clothes because western designers cut them for a woman who is 5'10" then scale it down making the proportions look shit. if you get stuff cut for shorter japanese proportions you will notice it looks much better.
that being said, the model in your pic looks quite tall so it might be ridiculously long on you even if it fits your shoulders and chest.
