  1. It's going to be really tough to get this kind of advice that is of quality from someone that knows what he's talking about. If something works for somebody, they will usually be very protective about it, and since we have already every brand you can imagine nobody currently is looking forward to new fashion brands opening. You somehow have to get to know a person with that kind of knowledge in real life and get some advise - or go intern somewhere. Posting this kind of questions won't help at all, that's fashion industry! Good luck!

  2. Since I own only jackets in GT fabrics, and they are fully taped, I was wondering how are the S jackets finnished inside (since they are not fully W proof it might not make sense)? For example the J1TS-S I'm looking to purchase, is it also taped seams or lined, or some other type of finnishing? Maybe some owner could provide a picture? Love the clean finnish of taped seams.

  3. 12 hours ago, piece keeper said:

    It's not really a downgrade. The fabric itself isn't waterproof, so whatever's in the pocket wouldn't be fully protected either way. A waterproof zipper doesn't make much sense in the first place. If anything it makes more business sense not to use them (since they cost more) as the fabric won't keep out water completely anyway.

    You're wrong - Stotz Etaproof is very water resistant, never soaked through for me even in the heaviest rains. It does get wet on the outside, but stays dry inside.

    The price difference between those zippers would be 50 cents max, it's nothing. 

    Only that those waterproof zippers are a bit harder to open, but still would make more sense in that spot.

  4. I think that the high resell prices for ACR give you the safety of trying something out and knowing you can pass on the piece without loosing it's value. You can buy something for 2k, but if you end up not liking it, you know you will get back the same amount, i see it as an investment, and that's the beauty of acronym.

    regarding the HB article - looking like an FPS character is the part I hate about techwear

  5. has anyone ever tailored their p10s pants to be shorter? (i'm short they're too long)

     

    That's gonna be vey tough, if not impossible without messing up the zipper and overall proportion.

  6. This reminds me of comparing apple and banana,man.

    Thinking you could use search function here,i have to say it works very well.

     

    Oh well,not this time.

    ch and ds both from Schoeller,ch more for fw and ds for summer,ch is kinda mixture with cotton(my ss16 version,43%),ds is non-cotton.

     

    I'm well aware of the differences in composition and fabric manufacturer, hoped to get some insight from somebody who had both versions and could compare.

  7. Guys, I'm looking for a soultion for wet feet this winter. Got all geared up with waterproof stuff, but the shoes are the weak spot. I'm thinking of three options:

     

    - getting waterproof shoes (only ugly ones unfortunately, all black utility prestos were kinda ok, but still that's not it)

    - tried liquiproof on my qasas - didn't work at all 

    - waterproof socks? does anybody have any experience with those? 

  8. Was the J43-K / J-43A-GT hood copied from Rick Owens? They look almost the same. Or is it just a standard kind of pattern everybody is using?

  9. Any suggestions for waterproof/repellent shoes? There's a lot of waterproof gear around, but the shoes still seem to be the weakest point - or maybe some spray/way to waterproofing regular shoes?
