Any new interesting sunglasses or googles? I feel urban techwear designers should be doing more work in this area. This is supposed to be the supposed to be the future; where are my retractable shades (and self tying laces and jetpacks)?

 

Accessories involving tech might be too much of an investment unfortunately

hopefully one day someone makes a retractable version of these with a built in HUD

looks like arcteryx veilance has an ig now

edit: forgot there was a thread for arcteryx woops

In the circumstances you're describing, it would only attract additional unwarranted attention.

that's true, also might look a bit too military like.

that military vest got me thinking, what do you guys think of using a fishing vest for traveling to hold your stuff as opposed to a bag in countries that are a little less visitor friendly?

Another idea: anyone ever tried GTX socks and just wear "normal" (i.e. not waterproof) shoes?  If your feet are protected from water from socks, perhaps the shoes don't really matter anymore?

Hmmm, I could imagine the water soaking up the inside of the shoes anyway - at least in heavy downpour, I think with boots this would be an optimal combo though.

So winter's almost here...what are people doing for footwear for rain?

last year i had adidas zx flux gtx, while it does keep away the rain, it's insanely slippery on smooth surfaces once wet

Can anyone make sense of maharishi Custom Pant types and their sizing? 

i have the 8904 in medium and the sizing on the website says 32, but i find it's just an inch larger

I found that my ls tee ran big, but they are supposed to be TTS

cheers!

Anyone know if Stone Island Shadow Project tees run small/big/generally tts?

if acr is dropping this kind of heat next season i'm def cutting back on going out a lot more

Very good drops this season, big fan the J47A-GT

Is the ACR x Nike drop just the AF1 collab?

Sucks that Australia cant order much NikeLab stuff, gotta go through a proxy

would look great as a mid, wonder what material the upper part is

Fortunately not! If you can take my word for that. To be honest I dont think it even falls under urban techwear aside from that 'rain city' model

Not that i'm aware of. Here's the email

Hi,

 

Thanks for getting in touch with us. 

We will be offering international shipping to Australia although the launch date of August 15th has unfortunately been pushed back.

But keep your eyes on our social media to keep up with any current updates!

 

Thanks,

AKIO Team

Akio Footwear release got pushed back to undecided date

I heard William Gibson personally has his own subnet inside the subnet hence subnet 'mask'  

srsly?  That's all it takes to get subnet access?! real question.

No little extras, just your subnet login details on your 3rd purchase

I've heard something similar, wouldn't doubt if i'm just getting ribbed lol - just seems a little more exclusive when it says "invitation only" on the login screen

Hey man can't hurt to know!

Out of curiosity does ACR package any little extras when buying from them? Only bought second hand before

Random mall near me has this outlet sale on a bunch of tnf / patagonia / montbell / arcteryx / etc shit. All of the Goretex stuff is too big for me but bought some merino wool base layers since cotton undershirts in JP summer heat are killing me.

 

Only a day wearing them but I believe in the hype. A million times better. 

So Merino Wool is a confirmed holy fabric that you can wear all year? Might have to invest in some myself then

seriously people ....

 

the patch folds down to stick over the pocket on the sleeve hiding the black si:sp compass badge.

holy fuck im dying at how stupid i am right now

you can always take the patches off though, isn't that what everyone does? i certainly dont walk out with STONE ISLAND on my arm. nvm the chavs

even then it's just a weirdly placed epaulet with a velcro border

not even sure if that patch is held on velcro considering it has two buttons holding it down

Hey this is a really broad question but can someone throw suggestions for techwear-ish shoes that are still available? Just looking to replace a pair of sneakers.

You can pair a tonne of random running shoes generally but how 'tech' do you want them to be? Also take into account breathability - what's the weather like around you?

How do I go about getting ACG drops if i'm in Australia? Proxy?

Also did they run out of the hats already?

Can somebody convince me the zips aren't that bad on the lunar forces? It's seriously the only thing putting me off, but it's just such a large feature, can't find any fits with them online. I really do like the black green red colourway
