Y-3's SS17 Fashion show to see some runway tech fashion.
I feel like the idea most people are trying to achieve, the "technijia" look. Apologizes for using the term, but there's more to techwear than this. Can we focus on a broader scope?
>>11454014
Of course
>All aspects of the aesthetic are welcome
>>11454035
Cool, I don't feel like I should look like a hacker everyday. What brands do you recommend?
>>11454079
I don't have a lot of experience with brands like this, but Uniqlo and Outlier. So naturally I can only recommend them. Uniqlo is pretty cheap compared to other brands, but you as much functionality compared to other brands. They might cover the basics like heat retention, breathable, and water durability and repellency. If I had to recommend something right now to grab will be the Uniqlo x Theory collaboration.
>>11454014
check arc'teryx veilance stuff anon. great minimal tech
Has anyone bought from 0608? The prices are ridiculously low, how's the quality.
Also
Any good cargo pants?
>>11454995
Guerrilla Group makes some pretty good ones, but they're quite pricey.
>>11455221
Shit, these look good.
>>11454995
can you buy from them if youre in the US?
>>11455985
I assume so, everyone recommends it because of how cheap it is. Hard to navigate this site in all Korean.
>>11454995
Do you have a link for 0608?
>>11454014
Veilance, outlier, proof ny,mission workshop etc. all have a casual or waterproof business man aesthetic.

Aren't they dea?
I've noticed a longish strap inside the pocket of a jacket
WTF is it for?
>>11457108
If it's a windbreaker or something you might be able to pack it all into the pocket

My bad, forgot they disappeared.

I need a new pair of kicks, I was looking at Adidas for new running shoes. I don't have an expansive budget, how are the Energy Clouds and Speed trainers?
>>11457693
Fucks sake, why do p10a cargos have to be so hard to find
Any recommendations for some nice tech softshells? Going to Iceland this autumn, already have merino wool base layer and isaora hardshell. The only thing I am missing is a soft and warm middle layer.
>>11458242
Arc'teryx mainline has a bunch of nice ones.
>>11458242
Look up Endura Urban Softshell. Just got one and it's great.
>>11457519
Can't speak for those, but I've had decent experience with the Adios Boost series. They're good shoes for 5k runs, but your feet will begin to hurt with runs upwards of 10k.
If you're interested in Nike shoes, the Lunarracer provides great comfort and lightness, but suffers from the lack of long-term durability on the outsole.
>>11459316
What about the Nike Free RN?
For the those of you interest in the more minimal look; i found this today, Meanwhile clothing https://meanswhile.stores.jp/ . Most of it is sold out on their store but it looks like they may have a few stockists so good luck
>>11459366
Free soles are for short runs, not long. The 5.0 is great for casual wear but don't expect it to last long under heavy stress.
>>11458242
Tell me about budget and style preferences?

Some nice pieces and cool materials, but god their product pictures and models are so shitty.
Pic related - wasn't even their worst
Are the Nike Air Rifts comfy? I'd like to get into techwear and make this one of my first techwear-esque shoes.
>>11461363
I've no idea but stubbing your toe in them looks like it will be as bad as bare foot
>>11461363
dude they cost as much as the ACG Free Rifts, tho i guess you could use Air Rifts in colder weathers?
Should I cop?

Any suggestions on hats?
>>11462054
anything goes, pick something fancy & technical
Techwear is all about being functional, making life easier, and minimal. We all see this in our fits, but what about the little things. I'm very interested in everyday gadgets that can makes ones life easier. Things to watches, water canisters, and even key chains. Post what you got.
>>11462130
Keychains with fidlocks? I like it; got anymore of this edc stuff?
>>11462153
I was thinking of getting a Dash wallet, compared to some expensive bi-fold wallet. The RFID interest me, I'm a heckler about my security.
>>11462214
I like how thin it is, but to be honest given the choice I'd probably still go with bellroy , some of these minimal wallets look they make things too fussy.
>>11462306
My only problem with these wallets is cash. I don't want to fold up my cash and unroll it when I need to pay for something. Thanks, anon.

>>11462130
I'm interested in sports water bottles. Most people have been recommend this Hydro Flask bottle. What does you guys use?
>>11462515
I've got one of those. The insulation is pretty great. It's just on the heavier side and takes up a bit of room, so having a bag with a large bottle pouch is recommended.
>>11458242

It's not really /fa/ but for a while I used one of those collapsible drink bottles that's like a wineskin; it's plastic and folds flat when empty, but can hold like 600 ml of water when full. Really handy for college cause they have water fountains there
>>11460125
S-six hundred euro? D:
>>11464144
Sorry anon
>>11464161
It's alright. It's not your fault techwear is such an expensive clothing style~
>>11464125
Yeah, actually I'm inclined to agree that collapsible water bottles are much more tech-y than all that fuck huge shiny ass metal barrels.
I mean, they really take so less space which is really convenient when you are travelling or low on space.
Can't find any sane reason why all that metal bottles are so popular now except for the looks.
>>11464144
Not even that expensive. It's still ugly af tho
>>11464170
i'd say the main reason is that metal bottles don't have any toxic plastics
Are there any must-have techwear items? Good items to begin with?
>>11464505
Hard shell (or a soft shell made from something like schoeller dry skin) and some decent shoes, pants are a pain the arse to find and on that front I think the best way to sort out pants would be to get something made of cotton that you like the fit off and then coat it with nikwax. A diy approach to items may be needed
>>11464557
Thank youuu~
>>11462306
>>11462317
I have a bellroy (card sleeve - older version) and it's FANTASTIC once the leather breaks in. Can easily keep up to 3-5 bills in it depending on how many cards I have. The quick card function is a bit tricky until the leather breaks in though. The newer one in their web shop seems to have addressed any issues I have with mine.
>>11464709
Yeah I was thinking Bellroy, but I don't want to place that much on a wallet expensive. Is it that good?
I have a $6 Faraday cage sleeve for my phone and cards. I think that is kind of techy.
>>11466800
Link? I was thinking about getting a wallet at Silent Pocket.
Anyone know how much 3a-1s run for retail these days? On the Acronym webstore and other spots.
Thanks
Does /techwear/ take into any athletic hobbies? Freerunning, running, biking, etc?
>>11467269
What are you asking? If we exercise? If there are any 'tech' brands catered to sports?
>>11467319
Anon is asking for literally any athletic hobbies we partake in.
>>11467269
I do a running, and that's how I got into techwear a seamless transition between aesthetics and being active.
>>11467269
gym, parkour, running, calisthenics, hiking, climbing and cycling. i think techwear lends pretty well to parkour and cycling especially
>>11467392
After getting into techwear, I feel like getting into parkour. Maybe it has something to with the functional ease that comes with techwear that got me into getting from point A to point B the fastest.
>>11467269
>>11467319
Running and frisbee. Nice to see Frisbee is finally recognized by the Olympic committee, despite its reputation as a casual sport.
What do you guys do for shoes
I'm always on the search for something water resistant that I can run in and isn't luminous
Recent fit, in love with p10-s
>>11467443
I just prefer running shoes, usuallt flyknits. Whatever running shoe that best suits you. Any aesthetic appeal is just icing on the cake
>>11467446
Fuckinf sweet.
>>11467443
I tried looking - everything is so fucking ugly
>>11467399
its fun but lots of injuries. be careful and take it slow. use grippy shoes that can bend easy, like nike frees. you need to be able to feel the concrete for jumps and climbing up shit
>>11467446
looks nice but feel the shoes are a weak point.
>>11466527
It fits me perfectly, I love how slim it is and I work in a mall so I need to use my access card pretty frequently. I would definitively recommend it.

>>11467269
Cycling and grappling. Mobility is king.
>>11467443
You could look into muro.exe - they're more on looks, but are very comfy to walk around in and decent for running/ sprinting if needs be (eg. running to catch the bus). Wouldn't do any jogging or training in them though.
>>11467446

Asking for the second time. Has anyone bought from www.0608.co.kr? Any help, tutorials about buying from there?
>>11469637
I gave up, even translating the page didn't help
>>11469646
Yeah, the page where you should input your address is absolutely weird. And I guess they only allow shipping within Korea.
I've asked them on FB, instagram and email, but received no response yet.
I'm even considering to use Korean buying service now.
>>11469637
Most of their stuff is one says one size fits all, what's up with that?
>>11469691
Yeah that could work, keep us posted if you have any luck with it
>>11469695
Isn't it the tees that are one size only? And anyway they do provide the sizing info on them. Moreover, jackets and pants are available in several sizes.
>>11469698
You can also find their stuff on hiphoper, but again I can't get through the registration process as they do not accept my phone number. The link is http://www.hiphoper.com/shop/brand.php?br_id=0608
>>11469739
Their jackets are not at the same discount as the original site. Also, I don't understand these sizes what is 1+0 won and 2+0 won?
>>11469801
Well, of course the price is different since they are just reselling original items and the may place any cost they want.
>Also, I don't understand these sizes what is 1+0 won and 2+0 won?
Pic related, the sizing info on their jacket. Taken straight from the original site. Just scroll it down a little bit - http://www.0608.co.kr/product/detail.html?product_no=241&cate_no=82&display_group=1
Would love someone to share their experience with 0608.
Any recs for some decent trail shoes? Going camping in a month and could use some durable (preferably water proof/resistant) shoes. I'm also starting to get into urban exploration, so I would like something that can work into a regular, urban fit.
Looking at these right now. Not the best, but reasonably priced and somewhat fits the aesthetic.
>>11469695
Asian brands generally use one size fits all because they like oversized fits and aren't too particular.
0608 is like Guerrilla Group, where they will use some decent waterproof materials but nothing too great - once you get it in real life you will understand that you won't get what you pay for.
>>11469872
Go to /out/ for trail shoes and don't bother trying to go for 'style'. UrbEx is just beater sneakers or boots.
>>11457804
They're not 'hard to find' they're just sold out. Wait for FW Septembers release, there will be -A version of P10 (no regulars though)
>>11470684
So it's p10a in aw and p10 in ss?
>>11469872
Haglöfs L.I.M shoes are /techwear/ as fuck. Dunno if they are available in US tho.
Anyone tried manastash?
>>11464192
You don't have to worry about that shit
t. chemistry student
>>11472537
He has a point, not to mention the fact they aren't really used anymore helps too
>>11472543
There are way better things you should worry about
Like your salt or sugar in take
>>11471664
They have some nice stuff. Sad they don't sell up to US 14. :(
>>11472545
Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing with you
Tech fashion inspo.
>>11472960
lol wut
>>11471421
I didn't saw SS yet, but I'm sure there will be P10, yes.
>>11467104
€700-ish, but laminate versions not worth it, since they look like shit, I never understood why erlsn ditched X-pac
>>11473907
Hope it comes back for AW16. You better be reading this, Errolson.
>>11474129
There was no hint on 3A release in FW lookbook, so I doubt about it.
>>11474625
There's an FW lookbook already? Please point me in the right direction

I lean towards the backpacking style of techwear and love it. Always comfy desu
>>11477192
September. There is no exact dates there, just preorder that lasts for a month, then everything goes into production and gets shipped before general release.
>>11477181
