Powder Guide Vest: http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/powder-guide-vest.html

I've handled one, it's really solidly built.

jeans from howies made using epic cotton, look interesting just wish they were darker in colour or even black.

Anybody have experience with Outerboro pants? Curious about the Aegis pants in particular, cause of that phone pocket

or Triple Aught Design.

Good point, a Stealth or Stealth LT would fit the bill.

[scaramanga]

New enfin leve drop parka from etaproof looks really nice

 

 

 

Anyone tried this?

That entire website looks like it copy/pasted Outlier ideas, down to the photography.

I'm looking for some minimal high vis running shoes. Any recommendations?

It's pretty fucking hilarious actually. definitely getting a good laugh browsing the site

[mike lowrey]

probably not the first one to ask but I don't feel like browsing 50 pages... how is the sizing on Qasas? (current season & high, if it matters)

[Flipflop214]

^^^size down 1/2 or 1 full size depending if you like it a little loose or snug.

They've actually re-designed it a bit since they initially launched. I think their first page they literally stole the code line by line from Outlier and just changed the words.

 

At very least they have some unique-ish items now - originally all their products were Outlier clones as well.

I honestly don't give a fuck if all these deskjob cyclist lifestyle brands copy each other in the marketing department. If another does the same thing better (or something different) at a lower price point, then good. I'm all about value for money.

^ they're about the same price for the same shit. except one made in china/taiwan, one made in NYC 

[wrong_move]

^Meh. That doesn't really mean anything to me. I like Outlier and will probably continue to buy their shit but I also like to have other options in this niche.

 

Like I mentioned earlier those has-more-pockets-without-looking-like-cargo-pants pants are kinda neat

[Inkinsurgent]

at this point quick drying casual/office wear is a product category by itself. however, it's pretty obvious that outerboro tries to copy outlier in style to the point where one wonders if they're purposefully trying to pass for outlier at a glance, down to the .cc top level.

It doesn't really matter where shit is made. Quality control is more important.

It can. You can almost guarantee that you aren't contributing to sweatshops when you buy made in America/Canada. China, not so much.

Do you know where Outerboro stuff is made? China I can't argue with that. But I don't think Taiwan has sweatshops/child labor issues. Besides you go to most NYC clothing factories majority of the workers there are Asian or illegal immigrants.

Not sure how many parsed through the SDR site when the D3 pack was posted a few pages back- I picked up a couple of their Utility Pouches, which arrived yesterday. Always have liked cuban fiber stuff, and after living out of a suitcase for most of the year, I really wish I'd picked these up sooner. Not cheap, and I was a bit surprised to be hit with a $17 shipping charge (came in a flat mailer from San Francisco...), but I can see them getting a lot of use/abuse going forward.

^ good DIY project

Outlier Airspace Transparent Pullover, Airspace + Merino Pullover

Was surprised by that new Outlier piece! Looks quite delicate though.

 

Edit: Hah. Sold out quick eh?

Do Qasa High's fit tts? I can't seem to find a consistent answer.

I know a lot of people here dig Merino wool so I thought I'd post this from MoS , its a merino synthetic blend and I really like they're phase change material I have one of their dress shirts and it works pretty good
