http://dressed-down.com/blog/2013/5/13/intro-to-techwear-part-1-the-bas

is there a difference between acrnm ss and fw jackets? i want to get the j43-k, but if it is only good for really warm weather it seems like a waste.

Topo's mountain jacket is lined with ripstop
Suuuper slimming

I suggest you this tumblr ("urr durr advertising", no, it's not even mine). Lots of technical/techwear pics and fitpics.

>buy 300 dollar rain jacket
>don't wear it once

>>9933538
I'd be so much more for this if it wasn't so baggy and poorly fitting

>>9934185
Be a far better Tumblr if they actually reposted things instead of just saving them from other Tumblrs and posting it themselves.

will these Campers work in techwear fits?

>>9933582
eyo op here. saw it but didnt see any brands and stuff or w2c info or the thing is i just wanna see a conversation about techwear.

>>9936570
if you scroll down to the bottom there are 4 more parts, which has buying info, brands etc.

>>9934041
Sometimes there's releases where goretex isnt implemented and materials are just cotton

>>9933538
Killer image use.

Did you post this last thread? I wrote a response to it in the twilight of the thread.

>It's a hardshell – a jacket with a waterproof and breathable membrane meant to protect against wet and wind, to go over a base and maybe an insulating layer – so it's four season almost by definition. You wear it over little in summer and much in winter.

>Actually, even though it's a S/S piece, I'd wear it more readily in winter than summer. All hardshells block the wind to a substantial degree, which traps heat.

>I haven't handled the J43-K, so I can't speak to how heavy or light the fabric is, and the waterproof membrane is an unspecified Japanese one, not Acronym's usual Gore-Tex, so breathability could be abysmal or even better than G-T; you'd have to wear it to find out. I hope it's Toray's Dermizax NX, probably the best membrane in the world right now, but that's like saying I hope a Japanese car is an Acura NSX. Giant shrug.

It seems Gibson prefers looser fits and sizes up. Compare pic related - it's not exactly a full on slim fit, but it's not as baggy as Gibson's wearing it.

>>9935034
And yeah, definitely, if you style them right.

Also don't take this as a bible. The brand list is the best part. The rest isn't terrible, but you'll get a better handle on this stuff from more diverse sources and by feeling it out.

thanks for the replies guys, i didnt see it im little bit occupied with school admissions and shit.

>do you see many people wearing all techwear in your country?
>do you count healthgoths to this?
>what do you think about them?

im gonna be studying in denmark so
>are dans tech?

>>9933506
i can never take that term seriously because of the seinfeld episode where george wears a giant puffy jacket

>>9938466
Only seen one techwear fit, that was in London in the winter

Nope healthgoth isn't tech

Anyone know what jacket this is?

Guerilla Group really wants to be Acronym with dat logo tape this season.

At least they're actually using a performance fabric this time round.

>>9939265
Im grabbing the bag pants. Hopefuly they turn out well.

>>9939265
fake qasas

>>9938537
Why isn't Health Goth tech?

>>9939194
Veilance something. Can't ID it, because it's just very characteristic Veilance and old.

Reverse IS is your friend.

I'm waiting *so hard* for a new tech brand that isn't so vulgar in ripping a checklist of features and silhouettes off others with zero understanding of what makes it work or the essence of it.

Like, not even fuccboi street goth brands are as bad as this, or 3RDDIMENSION or whatever that Taiwanese brand is.

>>9939849
Those aren't horrible, but they also don't look fully thought out. The zipper-as-attachment thing seems particularly not fully baked.

>>9940735
Oh God I think you might be right?

>>9941581
Forgot pic.

>>9937040
Thank you very much for the informative response. Maybe I'll wait in hopes of another GT J43 next season.

>>9941581
Forgot pic.

>>9941592
You're welcome. The J43 debuted in a GT version last season, too, and that's probably more likely than another garment dyed K.

Personally, I hope he keeps up this garment dyeing collaboration with Nemen and does it on jackets that (IMO) are more interesting than the J43.

>>9941605
And re: Guerilla Group, like, look at this. It's like someone decided to rip off Acronym P13s and, shudder, Kitanica at the same time.

Some of their accessories have some coherence to them, to be fair.

>>9941605
yeah i like how tame the j43 is, the rest of my clothes arent very techwear. just wish it had gravity pockets ;(

>>9933506
Contributing some inspo.

>>9941607
Those pants are an abomination.
