>What is Urban Techwear We wear clothes to be comfortable, to cover up our shame, and more importantly for our protection. Technical clothing, focuses on incorporating functionality using textiles and construction techniques to protect the user from their environment.
With their collaboration with a patented clothing textiles, it houses a lot of functionality to what feels like lustrous silk. Never heard any complaints of stitching unlike some other companies thanks to their minimalism.
Elijah Ortiz
What piece do you expect on buying?
Asher Rivera
Is 0608 a good entry level brand? The sticky seems to say so. I wanted to wait for their next sale to buy some items. Also, does anyone know what their shipping prices are like
Elijah Smith
While I think of it, any pictures of how their stuff looks on-body without being stock pictures?
Connor Powell
Thank you for reading the sticky. 0608 is the lowest tier in comparison to most brands on this list. Wouldn't recommend building a wardrobe out of this brand, just as you shouldn't build a wardrobe out of H&M. I would only buy their T-shirts, pants, and tights.
Have no idea about their shipping price, before the only people who bought 0608 had human proxies or lived in South Korea
James Myers
The discord doesn't have a search plugin so it's kinda a dig, but in the WAYWT channel there are fits of people wearing 0608.
Liam Kelly
Looking and their pants and maybe one of their vest.
Julian Gomez
Updated the wiki with brand listing links to their brands website and tiers. Any comments and things you'll like to see changed please suggest it or log in and change it yourself.
Gabriel Torres
I have the newest noragi from the latest season. Very good quality and very warm, but expect it to be more form than function.
Same goes with most of their stuff.
Robert Harris
Will update the descriptions of the brands later, whoever wrote this did a bad job to the point some brands are entirely inaccurate
Ryan Diaz
I just bought a noragi, what do you typically wear yours with? I've been trying it out with a black crewneck and loose cargos
Anthony Nelson
i've had my eye on this acronym jacket for a while, but i can't justify spending the money. someone convince to spend £900 on a jacket.
Carter Harris
Why should I convince you to buy it?
Xavier Cook
just don't. there's much better bombers for less. pic related on grailed for example. if i wasnt poor i'd cop in a heartbeat also this
Zachary Cruz
i'm in the market and i have the money. i thought you guys were more passionate about this stuff. this is nice but i want something a bit more clean and modern looking. do you have any suggestions?
James James
were fine with spending lots of money on a jacket but if we have to convince you to buy it you will most likely regret it at some point.
i can recomment guerrilla group, doesn't look as boring and you can find them for relatively cheap on grailed sometimee.
Jeremiah Rivera
that makes sense, i'm not going to rush into any huge purchases for the sake of it. i'll look into guerrilla group again, thanks
Thomas Garcia
You probably shouldn't if you're not willing to drop the money.
Eli Wright
Took part of the introduction to techwear off the wiki, will make a separate category for styles in the future
Joseph Williams
I've been thinking about copping this jacket
Juan Cook
Personally don't like, the strap ruin what could've been a great piece.
Aiden Richardson
How exactly does the strap ruin it user?
Jeremiah Rogers
user is just a normie
Adam Edwards
What would it be its purpose? To keep the pockets closed? Something that could've been done with a button, zipper, etc, and not a strap that spans the entire piece
Landon Hughes
Zippers would be the best, have the pocket overlap the zipper for added protection from water, dirt, etc.
Jaxon Collins
wtc???
Jose Martinez
this is not issey. its final home and they go for $50 on yahoo jp
Isaiah Bell
If you hovered over the file name it says ISSEY x Final Home
Hudson Torres
> >If you hovered over the file name it says ISSEY x Final Home I did and it's not issey whatsoever
Hudson Kelly
Maybe you're just an idiot.
Hudson Rivera
Anyone know about techwear suits?
Lucas Parker
...
Ian Rogers
itt literally r/streetwear
Christopher Price
what about tilak guys? are they shit or good quality anyone else own something from them im thinking of odin in green or white
Chase Gomez
It looks great, although like many outdoor brands like Arc'teryx, North face, and Patagonia for some reason they just love the free advertisement by placing their logos on every piece. And for the reason alone I would never year a brand like this. If you like it, go ahead the green looks great.
Connor Gray
This looks great, I would love to find a line technical clothing that looks as rugged as military surplus.
im okay with branding, its not that much honestly. more im worried about quality, cuz its not that well known brand. and yeah, its fucking fire looks wise
Liam Morales
There's only so little that can go wrong, with a company that willing to stand behind a product with a four year warranty.
Isaac Thompson
Someone actually bought Dressed-down domain, rip.
Jason Cook
always lose it at 2 litres of coffee part
Robert Clark
acronym without hood? nah
Eli Lewis
You want a hood? On a bomber?
Joshua Anderson
if thats hardshell its fucking abnomination if its windproof then idk i stay neutral
Gabriel Taylor
It's an insulated bomber, probably a soft shell
Angel Hall
How do I achieve this look? Want to look comfy
Carter Rivera
Show this to your barber
Isaac Rivera
I did, but he laughed :
Ian Young
any brands that have subtle utilitarian pieces that can pass as techwear? Can't exactly afford an ACRNM wardrobe at this point
I'm looking for obscure brands mostly. If you look well enough, you will find that subbrands of Nike, and certain Levis and workwear brands can fit into the techwear aesthetic. Brands like Condor, with the right choices are also good and affordable. Please share your recs
Julian Richardson
Repeat after me: Nike, Levi's etc can NEVER be techwear. No has ever done a good fit from those brands and they just don't have the quality and performance like brands such as Guerrilla Group, 1kDeath Corp or ACRNM. Just save up and stop trying to do techwear on a Zara budget.
Carter Carter
>quality >1000deaths
Andrew Robinson
funny how you mention quality and ACRNM in the same sentence
Nathaniel Peterson
rather apply the utilitarian approach to techwear and not just dump money into designer brands
I don't have thousands to get marginally better materials. There are plenty of items that fall into unobnoxious techwear that are also affordable. You can achieve the general look with a small budget and still have the benefit of properly engineered clothing.
Carson Nelson
Nike can't be techwear? Really? You seem to be completely missing the Nike ACG line that they offer in collaboration with Errolson Hugh, founder of ACRONYM. Even at that, some of their sportswear and other garments fir pretty well into the aesthetic, I find.
Jace Robinson
This is one of the most incorrect posts I have ever read on this board.
Parker Morris
>Errolson Hugh Educate me. Im familiar with Acronym and all that, but did he do training as a fashion designer? Industrial designer? Cyberterrorist? I cant find info about his background.
Gavin Cooper
>Never have a ACRNM x Nike presto Asian qt to eat pretzels with
Connor Martin
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. There isn't really a lot of information out there about him. Kinda lends itself to the intrigue of the brand. All I know is that he was doing freelance design for snowboarding brands and stuff initially. ACRNM was founded in '99, and they worked on their first design for about two years before anything was actually produced.
Parker Wilson
Maybe check out Outlier and Mission Workshop?
Mason Reed
Updated the Wiki with a new section that goes into minor detail on the different styles of techwear to make it easier to understand
Hunter Carter
Thoughts on Dxpe Chef anyone? I was thinking of picking up a pair of cargo pants from em.
Christian Green
My local pic related is having a storewide sale, any essentials I should pick up? I'm looking to move to Canada's east cost this summer (ie: wet and windy) so I'm mainly looking into outerwear, shoes/boots and a pack
Jack Hernandez
Personally don't like Patagonia outside their pants, not a fan of their shells. Take a look at their base layer though.
Ryder Gray
can I meme with you?
Luis Rodriguez
Anorak fits too boxy, and don't cuff your pants.
Grayson Flores
I need a sick ass backpack to compliment my fits and I was thinking about a milsurp parachute harness and cutting some of the straps off. Anyone have experience with this? Also recommend backpacks pls
Parker Wilson
My fake wtaps backpack is nuts. $24 + shipping. Fits heaps of stuff, has adjustable size straps on the bottom, water resistant (proof? used it when I was on holiday in San Fransisco without anything inside getting wet), comfortable to wear. Has a laptop pouch within the main pocket and a smaller pocket. Only thing its lacking is smaller compartments, but you can probably solve that issue with either DIY or use of small pouches/cases.
Here's some pictures for you. The straps on the bottom in the bottom left can be used to adjust the size of the main pocket so you can store more stuff in there. It might be a bit minimal for what youre using though.
Cop or nah? Guy I know is selling his for 750$ but fuck I have 6 black jackets already.
Hudson Murphy
...
Liam Collins
It's over priced because it's experimental Nope
Wyatt Perry
>750 >for ugly as shit ACG jacket With that price you can buy actually functional jacket that beats every techwear brand as far as functionality goes and you will have some money left over.
Landon Ramirez
That's it? That's all you've got? Why are you even here?
Liam Brooks
OK I'm no fashion expert. Hell my go to colors are black white and grey; but anyone who thinks $4k for a fucking hoodie is insane. Unless that hoodie is gonna suck my dick I'll keep the free black one I got from my parts vendor. Or am I just an ignorant prick whit no taste? Discuss.
Lucas Sanchez
Where did you see 4000 dollar hoodie?
Zachary Campbell
DS-HD2 dead center of OPs post. Hell anything in OPs post is well over a grand for any piece.
Jeremiah Cook
The OP pic has all the prices listed well into the thousands. It kinda looks like somebody just added a zero to all the prices.
Robert Ramirez
The prices on that pic aren't accurate, no idea why they are marked that high
Blake Sullivan
I know some people here, or at least in the discord live in some great places that they're greatly benefited from wearing technical clothing. What are some great cities to live in to take advantage of Techwear and why is it all Asian cities?
Zachary Richardson
>why is it all Asian cities You get the most out of technical clothing just by living in a place with 4 seasons
Kayden Reyes
She better have a dick
Hudson Myers
She does.
Grayson Harris
Huzzah!
Kevin Sanchez
I'll need to see some photographic or video evidence of this
Nathan Harris
This, pretty much. In the USA speaking from experience Seattle is pretty great for techwear
