>What is techwear? We wear clothes to be comfortable, to cover up our shame, and more importantly for our protection. Technical clothing, focuses on incorporating functionality through the use of textiles and construction techniques, this is a very broad definition. When you mention clothes a wide array of different designs will come to mind and it goes the same with technical clothing, although the fashion community likes to lump technical clothing into this one style. This idea that it's a futuristic military style, but that's just not the case. Conroy Nachtigall a former designer of Arc'teryx Veilance explains creating technical clothing as:"It's not thinking about zippers is not thinking about seem tapes, not thinking about ... all these little elements. Those are all part of the end goal"
>Guide to Urban Techwear *Under Construction* Help expand our new guide to Urban Techwear. Edit anything you see fit that will add value to the page. There's now a brand list to add to and reference: tuxbell.com/index.php/Guide_to_Urban_Techwear
Thanks guys, for being dedicated to wearing technical clothing. Glad that we have consistent threads all being active and filled to its brim before dying. It's really great!
I'm expecting to go make some bigger updates to the first style guide on tuxbell. Would be awesome if there wasn't just one person tackling the project
>dedicated to wearing technical clothing. But from what I noticed, nobody in these threads actually wears this stuff
I just want to see what it looks like on average regular, non-model, non-photoshopped people
The style I actually like, especially compared to the overly hipster looking colorful crap out there at the moment
Also, screenscap with retards, for retards. You can keep making threads, but you'll stay butthurt
Jayden Bennett
who are you talking to?
Joseph Young
The wiki is looking great. Good job merging the pastebin with it. That was written by around 6 anons on Veeky Forums, it is good to have it saved in the wiki. Try instagram or tumblr. Lots of fits there.
Logan Watson
new ACRNMxNike Prestos fit from supertechwear
Levi Nelson
Aren't most threads like these just discuss the style. Hardly see any people actually post their fits but in WAYWT threads Good fit, think it might look better with black sneakers.
Thomas Gonzalez
Uniqlo heat tech is now on sale, ten dollars for all Inner wear this weekend.
Brayden Williams
Fair enough
Yea, see, this looks cool
Sebastian Anderson
Is heat tech even good? Might suck having to by airism and heattech. Coping some T-shirts from outlier seems like the more expensive but space saving solution.
Elijah Jones
I never used Heat tech. So I can't say, I would like to cop outlier someday. But way out of my price range right now as a student.
Christopher Rodriguez
Great work on the wiki OP.
Hunter Walker
Feels a tad bit too matchy, matchy. Chaning the jacket to black or the shoes to the same would be better.
Levi Carter
New bag just dropped from 4dimension
Available in dark grey with reflective and black. Black's a bit cheaper. nice alternative to ACRNM
Owner of the brand says a new season of apparel is dropping in a few months too
Parker Jones
Best fit I've ever seen come out of supertechwear.
Jaxon Reed
Any good waterproof bags, I was looking at Missioworkshop to release they're "weatherproof" still being ipermiable to water when damp enough. Something in the style of MW but actually waterproof
Blake Brooks
You want something vinyl or polyurethane coated. Anything nylon or polyester is going to eventually soak through. Those ugly RAINS bags would be waterproof I'd imagine. It's sad that ACRNM doesn't make one waterproof bag despite how expensive the shit is.
Jayden Morgan
>You want something vinyl or polyurethane coated I'm feeling no particular preference, if there's benefits and cons to both I would like to be informed. But at this time I just care wether or not it can keep water from seeping through
Andrew Price
Weird, when looking at the product discriptions of the Sanction and the Fitzory VX they say waterproof materials. But the home page for backpacks says weatherproof, did I get the idea of weatherproof wrong? Does it include water?
Nathaniel Gonzalez
I really dig the bonus strap attached to the main strap.
Sebastian Lopez
weatherproof just means water resistant. it's not shit. a cotton bag can be called weather proof. you want it to say water proof and hopefully with a rating like 5000mm so you know its been tested.
Levi King
Yea, it's nice they throw in a free modular pouch as well. I like the black one, but reflective material and thread is a cool touch on the gray bag.
pathetic that a $60 bag out performs a $1000 acrnoym bag
i might pick one of these up in black
Christopher Williams
Speaking of pathetic: brand new ACRNM pants arrive to their owner with holes in them. This brand has such poor technical performance and bad quality as well. The ACRNM facebook groups and SuFu are full of stories of zippers busting and seams breaking on barely used items. It really is just a form over function brand. You wouldn't even get this level of poor quality control from Target or Wal-Mart.
Isaac Powell
What pant is that?
Robert Hill
Thanks I would look for that when looking for bags I considers these, but damn that video hurts. Well acronym is all style first, leaving a lot of possible functions out if it doesn't suit their design
Benjamin Williams
P17S And just saw on supertechwear, those new acronym prestos with seams coming loose after one wear
what is with this shit? it is literally sweatshop quality. no wonder erolson drives around in a ferrari
Joshua Mitchell
Are you trying to look like a hipster Asian? Then you should defiantly get that.
Jayden Ortiz
lol k reddit. a lot of techwear looks use similar bags fyi
Kevin Scott
Don't respond to bait posts.
Adrian Jackson
only Asians have that look, at least in NY. Its a casual city and techwear looks tryhard
Jacob Harris
this is the first 1kdeaths fit i actually like. much less paintball player than some of his other fits where he is covered in molle vests and wearing combat boots
>bitching about tryhard on a fashion forum reddit.. please...
Jayden Gonzalez
Agreed, all black shoes would break up the matchiness
Nathan Thomas
Or maybe some khaki or olive cargos. make it more monochrome
Asher Edwards
What the fuck is a casual city
Juan Jenkins
If you want waterproof then have a look at ortlieb, BBS has a bag that I've seen in a few fits that's waterproof and hes using ortlieb to supply the nahh so he can put hit logo on it and triple the price, anyway ortlieb good, BBS bad
Ethan Martin
is anyone into more colorful techwear? i'm getting bored of the same colours again and again.
Daniel Smith
...
Logan Baker
also outlier and casual stuff like that is boring AF.
design > technical fabrics
Michael Adams
>airism is all sold out still >dry ex is still sold out
David Cooper
problem is it looks tryhard and ironically bad. like 80s skiier cosplay or something it doesnt blend with the urban environment as well all power to u if u like it though
Robert Morales
>it doesnt blend with the urban environment as well
Neither does dressing like an autistic ninja
Jackson Adams
black and grey do blend in though
Hudson Jones
Yeah, it's fall/winter gotta wait until summer for airism
Juan Price
>Yeah, it's fall/winter gotta wait until summer for airism
I live in South Florida where it's 90 degrees year round. I really do not want to spend +$50 for a fucking dry fit from nike. fuck me
Jason Moore
Yes. Love it Looking to add unnecessary color and 3M to everything atm. I really like that stuff, makes you look a lot less like a terrorist. especially since I wear a facemask too
Kevin Barnes
I think color is fine Really it's about how you match it, yeah you'll stick out, but it can work
Jaxon Garcia
>My sister goes high school, I let her borrow my fits. Although fitted for men, she loves the style. >Let her take what she wants from my closet as long as she asks but the cheap stuff I keep on the back burner she can use to her whim >Takes her Uniqlo Block tech parka, slim dungarees, and Adidas Radial >Found out that her high school is doing a black out (where Seniors wear all black) >Racial things are brewing up and by wearing black you're not only showing high school spirit, but also supporting black lives matter >I didn't know this! >She didn't know this!! >On top of that there's a guy jealous of her pumped up kicks ready to fuck up the school with anyone wearing black >Got her the hell out of there
Adrian Sanchez
cool
Adam Clark
Sherpa Adventure is one of my favourite brands
It's all Primaloft Gold insulation in minimally branded pieces that come in a lot of colours from bright to muted.
Nicholas Nelson
cool except for the zipper
Gabriel Adams
Wanted to cop. Ruined by Hypebeasts and the resale is way too high at least where I live. I really really wanted these shoes.
Evan Cox
wtf are you talking about stop
Robert Wood
Sucked that it dropped way earlier than the usual time on Nikelab US.
Adam Barnes
they are shit. you dodged a bullet
Leo Williams
Well do you mean quality wise? Cause looks would be debatable.
Jordan Lewis
I don't own the thing put there's a post in this thread witha picture of the new Prestos seams coming apart.
Kevin Butler
I guess I missed that. Well now I have an interesting mix of being glad I didn't get them and still being pissed that I didn't. It's the best looking sneaker this year IMO. Funny considering I find the normal Prestos okay at best.
Juan Morgan
It's one guy complaining.
Robert Howard
I know but that really does look like ridiculously bad quality.
Isaiah Wilson
i remember someone posting in this general a while back who tapered his pants in pic related. how would I go about doing this? i cant find the original post in the archive
Easton Howard
50 for a shirt you're going to wear at least once a week if not more for months is like fucking nothing yo
Dylan Fisher
Is this the ultimate beta /general/?
Justin Taylor
just bought these pants
thoughts ?
James King
They look great, but if you don't have something to wear with them they'll look stupid.
Kayden Perry
something like what ?
Ethan Cook
Think about proportions otherwise you'll look like this
Aaron Richardson
I'd you don't wear it with other techwear stuff you'll look like a middle schooler.
Brandon Richardson
That looks good tho.
Wyatt Russell
lmao that is so shit. ACRNM reached critical mass right before the lunarforce 1 collab. it has all been downhill after there. i mean the qualty was always just so so but now that prices doubled it is just fucked and this stuff is sooo played out without any technical merits at all
Ethan Young
its just a pair of prestos with a zip and acrnm branding. u wouldnt like them if they came out by nike without that co-branding they arent even the best prestos anyway
John Rodriguez
The taper he made was done on a diagonal (ie front of knee to back of ankle), it's that diagonal that gives that floaty knee and tight ankle you see there and on acronym p10's. Hope that helps
William Adams
Am I doing it right?
Charles Wood
Drop the surgeon mask, going by the picture it looks pretty damn hot outside. I wouldn't be wearing all those layers. Other than that, looks pretty good, my dude.
Brody Thompson
It's about 75 so not too bad on heat. I'll take your suggestion on the mask. Thank you.
Cameron Morgan
Good start, not so sure about the pants being hiked up to the knee but I get what you're going for
Bentley Ortiz
Kek this is some autism
Alexander Cruz
>75 >not bad on heat what the fuck, how can you possibly stand to be wearing a fucking coat and multiple layers in 75 degrees? even if the fit was great you still look like a fucking idiot for wearing that in that weather
Bentley Adams
If it's 75 why are you wearing both a hoodie and a jacket? Plus outdated meme shoes, stupid bunched up pants, and your fists clenched in an autism pose.
Go see a psychiatrist to work on your insecurity before you come back here and post
Jace Robinson
south Florida boy here and its averagely 85 degrees out here, 90 in the beginning of September, and I usually wear black outer pieces and shirts and almost always black pants and to me the most I get is warm
Andrew Morales
beaten trainerendors actually look really cool
Anthony Kelly
Not OP but this is the most self contradictory post I have seen on here
Brody Clark
I dress like this year round, I know how much of a tool I am, but I just can't fuck with 1 layer. You get used to the heat.
Evan Lopez
Lol do you not know about breathable fabrics?
Jose Rivera
Just start working out and you'll feel better in just a t-shirt
Dylan Reed
I do work out, yet my body cannot gain mass. Noodle Arms for Days
Samuel Perry
Here's the back too
Dominic Cox
Eat more
Aaron Perez
The nikes ids I made and posted last thread came in. They look great in person, really happy with them.
Leo Sanders
I eat 4000 to 5000 calories a day senpai, I have a hyperactive thyroid
Xavier Williams
The Frees are fresh, I just personally can't fuck with how the black soles have that gloss finish
Zachary Rogers
naturally the gloss will go with use
Noah Russell
Looks good, can you list what you're wearing?
Aaron Campbell
nice one. wish the swoosh was black though
Logan Ward
i like the shoes and coat. trainerendors are such a good allrounder
Leo Rodriguez
anyone with a pair of acronym pants care to comment on the sizing/measurements? are the measurements listed by acrnm accurate? even the smalls seem very big
Oliver Edwards
lmao those fucking tattoos
