Is WANGxHM techwear?
>>8961999
>>8962003
thoughts on these?
>>8962000
I would also like to know.. some of the pieces look good for a lower level tech outfit
>>8962059
It all depends on the materials which are probably shit considering it's Wang and H&M
>>8961998
It's still 38 posts out? We have this when it dies, I guess.
>>8962000
Oh God. I'm not saying this to pick on you, but if anything has ever illustrated why "is x techwear" is a nonuseful question, why thinking of "techwear" as a coherent category is nonuseful, it's this.
What's really going on with all of this is that older clothing codes are collapsing, and new ones finally influenced again by function, changed material conditions beyond moving the sweatshops, and the changed texture of everyday life and society are starting to develop.
Of fucking course a hack designer doing a collaboration with the world's second largest clothing retailer is going to be getting in on that.
Does it have much to do with the kind of stuff we normally talk about in techwear threads? I don't think really think so. Literally the only context I can read the guy in the lookbook as existing in is that he's just left his office in East Midtown on a winter evening and gone to a boxing gym, because he thinks he's tough like that. The kind of challenge he perceives is almost exactly an opposite number to the kind our protagonists usually do.
And if you want to look at the bare garments stripped of any context... it's one of those "what do you think about..." / "I don't." things. Some of them may have nonzero utility, but I can't imagine a single person who knows about anything else wanting them except maybe because they say "WANG" in big letters, either out of super basic brand affection, because they're Bart Simpson, or because they're a gay guy trying to get laid by grown up gay Bart with his basic brand affection.
>>8962100
Jesus dude I love techwear and really like these threads but you're taking this shit way to seriously.
>>8962100
image limit reached, is what i meant
I think I gon cop it
>>8962024
they look like panel ballet shoes in black
I'm just getting into techwear for the ND & MN winter. It's extremely practical for walking the ~1 mile to Uni and for my stints in the oil field. I'm going to dump all the pleb stuff I've copped or plan on copping initially to get me started.
I would enjoy inspiration for hats if possible.
>the jacket I'm saving for
opinions?
>>8962000
No, and it looks like shit.
Eddie Bauer has nice stuff, but I would never pay full price. Copped similar in grey for $40. Fully waterproof. Remember they always give 10% student discount on top of sale prices.
Basic cold layering when a neck gaiter is too much.
>>8962835
>tfw short neck
>tfw turtle necks make it disappear
I've found an 80% cotton / 20% cashmere blend to be better than a pure blend of either. Warm, yet thin for layering. Nice if you can't afford baby alpaca.
A&F is obviously awful but they occasionally show remnants of when they used to make quality outdoor equipment. The market is pushing them away from branding every product, too. They have their blends down. ~$40 on their regular sales.
43% nylon / 32% acrylic / 25% wool
>>8962904
>43% nylon / 32% acrylic / 25% wool
yuck
Ervell sources the nicest Italian and Swiss blends for outwear.
77% wool, 12% polyurethane, 11% nylon
[This is sold out.]
I really like the cuts.
95% cotton, 5% polyurethane imported from Italy
Probably going to cop an Ervell parka, haven't fallen in love with anything from Acronym.
50% cotton, 20% nylon, 30% polyurethane, imported from Italy
can anyone id these pants?
I know denim isn't usually associated with techwear, but I like it too much, so this is my solution. The wax coated is super against the constant wind here.
[FYI model is 5'10 prince of manlet status like myself.]
>>8963036
barneys version on someone taller
Planning on getting into the man leggings + shorts aesthetic for rollerblading and jogging to the gym. I usually hate Nike and Under Armor clothing (basicbitch), but it seems they are the best in this case, and I don't want to spend more than a $100 on meggings.
[These are no longer being manufactured as far as I can tell.]
>>8962954
Lately ACR has been growing on me, but if I had to choose between getting a shell from them or Veilance I'd pick a Veilance one just because I can wear it to my work without looking like I'm in costume
Pic related is nice though
>>8963086
I actually like their pants more then shells.
To wear over:
>>8963085
>>8963086
>>8963099
I like how Under Armor has a bunch of stuff that is made to follow military requirements, hence the black with black logo.
still looking, pls read pic related...
>>8963198
similar to this
>>8963100
yeah i'd get this pair in this colour
the fit better be worth 800 bucks
>>8963185
I think it's more made for people who want it to be made for miltiary requirements than actual military requirements
Hence the "tactical shorts" and such
>>8963217
I really like these, especially the ones on the right.
Really digging this company I just discovered online. They use nano sphere, made in USA, and actually reasonably priced for once.

Wings has a Coated Terry Bomber that's sweatshirt weight, but looks like a jacket. Might be what you want.
>>8962071
How much will the pieces go for? Specifically the parka, long shirt, and backpack?
>>8963001
100% they're just pinrolled chinos
>>8963238
I agree, the main thing for me is you can't see the logos.
What's this type of light grey sweater called?
>>8963345
looks like a cowl neck with drawstring

>Skips is that you?
>>8963352
Thanks.

It's him, but I'm not him.

you're talking about this one right? can u give me a discount to your store pls :O?

If anyone knows the name of these sunglasses, you would be my hero. I don't think they're german army. May have to ask the man himself.
>>8963079
I just bought these exact ones bro
>>8963085
these ones are cool though too
>>8963381
Nvm i forgot these had the side blockers. they look too cosplay / steampunk. Still looking for oversized round sunglasses with the double nose bar.
Planning on copping these in the meantime.
>>8963380
>the models hair
>>8963383
They are on sale in L and XL only and most of their vendors have the same or are sold out. That's why I thought that. Pretty certain they are being discontinued.
can existentialism be considered a techwear philosophical pose? or phenomenology?
>>8963306
Loving that jacket too.
Sorry if I spammed some of you seasoned guys with basic's but I have an easy time finding inspiration and a hard time figuring out what they are wearing.
I really like this camo aesthetic.
>>8963411
Techwear isn't a lifestyle you massive faggot.
>>8963438
memes are lifestyles bro
we need a new ontology of our being in the world in light of techwear. life as we know it cannot be considered in the same traditional manner!
>>8963001
w2c that jacket
>>8963638
are you for real
it's a carhartt anorak
buy it anywhere
>>8963638
dude....there's a carhatt logo on it.
What do you guys think of Outlier's new M-back pieces?
The M-back Climbers are calling to me. Wish I had the funds.
>>8962587
what is dat
>>8963656
Holy shit Outlier are making wool lined OG's again?
Bet they're already sold out in my size
Does techwear suit people who are of a athletic body type?

What brands could be considered techwear but with lower price?
>>8965825
walmart
>>8963079
>2014
>rollerblading
>>8965825
Walmart and Target have some cheap stuff.
>>8962678
Full on Nazicore brah, diggin it.
For the Ubermensch.
Anyone cop Endura pants?
I'm worried they're too cheap to last.
>>8962587
SNAAAAAAAAAKEEE?
>>8962701
a-anyone?
>>8962114
I'm not that guy, and I don't necessarily agree with everything he's saying in that post--but dude, this is a fucking fashion board. We talk about fashion here. This is a place for no-life plebs like you and me and him to sit down in front of a screen and type how we feel about fashion. There is no "taking it too seriously" here. Either you talk about it seriously, you post interesting images, or you're a worthless shitposter like yourself.
I like what he had to say because it was a unique angle on a subject we all care about.
>>8962678
In what context would you wear this jacket? Don't you think you'd get dirty looks?
I am all for dressing forward, but this jacket is just a weird piece and not (in my opinion; you can have your own) in a good way.
It looks like the mergence of a softshell, a suit, and a nazi officer uniform. Where does the appeal lie for you?
Are uniqlo's ultra light down jackets any good for techwear (as i am on a budget) ?
cop or not ?
any other suggestions for >100€
>>8966637
>Are they any good for techwear?
Do they fit the requirements that you need the jacket for? If your answer is "yes", then yes. If your answer is "no", then no.
>>8962701
it's salomon so you know it's durable as fuck and probably it's in the top 3 shoes in the market.
As far as aesthetics are concerned I'm not sure, but they'd fit into a winter techwear wardrobe for sure.
>>8963106
I'm wearing almost the same shorts over my cycling northwave leggings.
It's a dope fit.
>>8961998
>>8966697
Browsed some military supply companies and found some good stuff. Not too expensive either.
>>8962701
I own these and love'em. Really depends on how you intend to utilize them when deciding to cop or not. Aesthetically they're not that attractive but as far as functionality they're great. I use them for backpacking in the woods and for that purpose they excel, great tread and stabilization, they also incorporate gore-tex so they are waterproof. They're also very durable but surprisingly lightweight for a hiking boot most because of proprietary outsole and cushioning system salomon uses. Basically for any outdoor pursuits they should be your go to boot.

ID on the leggings?
>>8966734
Found it, gyakusou 2014, Men’s Utility Long Tights.
Hasnt dropped yet, and the back has pockets that doesnt look great.
>>8963393
Look up "prada gary oldman". I know what you're looking for but I don't know the name
>>8966637
I wouldn't relate down to tech as it loses some of its heating capabilities upon compression.
>>8966707
Thanks anon, they aren't the prettiest, but They fit the vibe of tech wear. Would be my winter boots.
>>8967135
Ohh... well, some of the stuff they make is pretty decent.
Got their 50l 5.11 pack, and its great.
>>8967152
not saying they're a bad brand, but the people who will recognize it, lol.
>>8963100
agreed, the shells are too over the top. not versatile without a full tech ninja fit
anyone tried the lululemon metal vent tee? seamless, has mesh panels and silver thread to reduce bacterial growth.
>>8967660
I was also digging some of Lululemon's pants as well.
Anyone know where to cop a nice techwear style soft shell jacket?
>>8963306
If that jacket were a bit longer I would instacop
>>8966637
Uniqlo's down jackets are probably the best investment you could make as far as light, warm jackets go.
Problem is the nylon isn't super amazing quality so it gets that faded beat look fairly fast.
>>8967723
same. there are a couple lululemons near me. i might have to go try some on. also, their shirts look high quality. might cop one for yoga/owl
>>8967862
Yea dude, the Assert, ABC, and Ascent pant look pretty neat.
Nothing like lululemon or shit similar remotely near me.
>>8962002
HNNNNNGGGG
uppity
work tomorrow, good night, all. will try to dump more of Supermodern Wardrobe, tomorrow.
>>8965708
damn it sold already I would've auto copped.

their coastal jacket seems like a good cop

what are these shoes?

>pretending to be a runner when you're that pale
>>8962904
I work for anf and I can say that the quality is not bad at all. Everything shrinks like hell but overall its really good
I've had a 3 year old tshirt that still looks brand new.
>>8963086
Check out Outlier. Similar subdued techwear, but not crazy expensive.
>>8970128

What's that jacket
>>8970121
>you will never jog in the sahara desert with a qt3.14159 porcelain doll
really want to buy some Outlier slims but I don't know my inseam and none of my other jeans say what it is
my only option for leg lengths are 32.5in or 36in (which i'd then get hemmed)
I live in the UK so if I had to return them it would be a huge ballache
>>8970192
why don't you just measure the inseam of some pants you own
>>8967660
I've got one, pic related. I like it, but it's very athletic. Almost looks odd to not wear it with shorts. Even the smallest size isn't so small, and you've really got to fill it out (sweet pecs are a must)
>>8970175
>Patrik_Ervell_Parka_AW14,png
even if you are from phone you should get a decent app
>>8969612
To me it's a good catch as it is UK based brand, but if u r in US cop Isaora tech shell
>>8970245

Digging these.
Waterproof/breathable (not goretex)
80 grams of Thinsulate.
>>8970553
I bought these back in my tacticool days.
>>8970583
w2c?
they windproof? look good for cyling
>>8970583
I bought the SOLAGs for shooting, they were ok.
>>8970588
Any milsurp place/cop outlet. They're Blackhawk Cool Weather Shooting Gloves.
They're sort of middle of the road gloves. Good for fall, but not heavy duty cold resistant. Comfy and breathing though. Water resistant fleece or some shit.
>>8970598
Yeah, I don't usually find myself having to punch people in the face when I shoot.
>>8970622
Not the SAP ones.
>>8970608
soundsgreat for uk winter (rarely gets lower than -2/3c) and the short cycle I have to uni.
cheers bro
Is there a techwear for harsh winter?
>>8970655
Start with a good base layer for sure.
>>8963254
Where could one cop these?

Anyone have experience with REI brand jackets? How is the quality?
>>8966734

>>8973570
Looks neat, love the brand, but wouldn't cop as it doesn't seem to have water resistance. (sucks when a bag gets wet)
i need a running jacket and could cop a nike gyakusou one for 50 bucks. it's XL but it's like 2 sizes smaller, right? is it actually a good functional jacket for running or just a gimmick?
>>8973579
Water resistance is super easy to treat most fabrics with.
>>8973510
thumbs up to you beautiful fashionable woman.
>>8974017
True, but it's generally not AS effective.
>>8974697
Water resistance isn't very effective period. You want a waterproof bag or dry bags or a rain cover if you actually want your stuff to survive a rainstorm.
>>8975080
True true, any non-shit looking goretex bags
what do you guys think of H&M x AW sneaker boots? it looks pretty waterproof?
does it really? been looking for waterproof shoes for a while
