Urban Techwear

[modern77]

I would say it is pretty similar in terms of chest size as its roughly on the same block,the only veilance style I have noticed to come up slightly smaller is the insulator,but thats simply because its a mid layer rather than an outer so its just trimmer all round to work with the shells,

thanks for the info.

Adding some brands if they haven't been mentioned yet: TAD gear ( http://www..tripleaughtdesign.com ) and Kitanica ( http://www.kitanica.net ). I own several pouches and a fleece from TAD, and a jacket and pants from Kitanica. They're both designed for active military use, and work outstandingly in urban settings.

TAD has been mentioned, kitanica not as far as I know.

But both are/will be qualified as to technical, the main focus in this topic is ''urban techwear which looks hella good'' and not ''techwear which can be worn in urban environment and looks like you just got out of afghanistan''.

Sometimes that's sad as some of those companies make great designs and have great stuff but hey...this is SuFu, for true tech wear there are enough other mountain climbing/techwear forums.

Besides, this topic is way too focussed on goretex and the likes.

There is so much more then waterproof, breathable fabrics of 0.001 grams put together with seam tape harvested from goblinhair and glued together with elf urine.

Will post some stuff from the other side of techwear later.

^haha such a polite response.

can't believe people want to post here but haven't really read any of this thread and noticed that TAD gets mentioned regularly.

As I told one post ago, here's the other side of techwear.

True mixing of styles, new techniques and classic fabrics, design elements of sportswear mixed with classic styles.

Natural fiber (wool tweed) bonded with a synthetic (3 layer black Limonta fabric), all laser cut (including the tweed) and finished off with rubber waterproof seam tape on the inside.

And one of the best techniques ever, the Bladecut.

A combination of laser cutting + handwork based on camouflage nets.

What's that first coat ? Griffin ?

[Cloud_SB]

Yes, the Technical Bearskin Jacket from this season.

The tweed-like fabric looks a lot like the Clerk&Teller/Berghaus collabs.

[Cloud_SB]

The 'tweed-like' fabric is true original old skool wool tweed made by Fox Brothers, Somerset. The Clerk & Teller was italian wool/viscose (which is neither synthetic nor natural) bonded with fleece.

Furthermore, Griffin does a lot of work with Berghaus so that could well be where the idea originated from.

Need to clean some of my gore-tex jackets and wanted some advice whether I can take them to the dry cleaners?.

[eightfoldpath]

No to the dry cleaners; use nikwax.

Hi all!

Do you if the white mountaineering BLK line still exists ?

I have just discovered that brand and I would be happy to buy their Hness shirt or their Pertex Dellingr vest - I suppose it is too late now.

[phelen]

I be corrected most likely but I heard in this thread that Blk ceased to be. Scour yahoo.jp if you want blk.

[aso2004]

They are most of the times easy enough to clean yourself...Special washing detergent,Cold wash in the machine and maybe a gentle cycle in the dryer...

Done

If they are special things look at the labels and take them a specialized cleaners.

[opetian]

it is more like Outlier (or Nau) than Acronym or Veilance but I think it can be interesting to mention the Oratory Jacket by Brompton (in Epic Cotton)

I don't think someone mentions than it is already possible to pre-order some SS12 Veilance items on barneys, so:

small outlier binge this week... wool-backed OG pants / tank / hoody

all are awesome but the wool-backed OGs especially so... will be the obvious NYC office winter default.
