Cheers for the plug @SuE.

 

@Tresuncool, if you go to my tumblr and check out the sites that I reblog from I think you'll be pleased.

 

I follow around 100 or so good tech wear blogs and share some of their posts frequently.

Someone compile me a list of cool tumblrs I can browse during lunch. (Don't care if they're yours own or not.)

Anyone else pick up a pair of the adidas pure boost? Grab a black pair on a whim and after wearing for a few days I'm on the fence. They are squishy the point that i'm worried I might roll an ankle and the build on them is quite nice but the durability is highly suspect. Seems like one wrong step and I'm going to tear a hole in them. Additionally if you have arch collapse issues, these are not the shoes for you. 

 

Also picked up a pair of the adidas element refine on deep discount and couldn't be more pleased. Super light, supportive and comfy but still feel reasonably durable, made with the same synthetic as the heel of the pure boost. If you are looking for a roshe alternative these might be up your alley.

[mvltani]

What are some alternatives to black outlier climbers?

They are sold out on my size 31.

Thanks.

While we are on the subject, here is a little av diversion inside the mind of Y-3

It's offically summer. Has any techwear company finally figured out how to make lightweight no-show non-slip merino wool socks that I can wear with low cut sneakers and loafers?

[malcb33]

Yes, Smartwool has some!  I have several pairs although they are a women's only model. 

[Dolphinski]

TheY do men's as well in a low and mid in both running and hiking models. Amazon has loads of them.

What are you guys using for a wallet/card holder? A nice leather piece doesn't fit well on the tech tip

[firstdoorontheleft]

Mastermind japan money clip/Paul smith dip dye leather zip wallet.

If you want something techy just cop a titanium money clip. Or check out any EDC focused tumblr.

Or get a Coin card. That's my next purchase.

That concept is cool, except for the fact that swiping your credit or debit card is unsecure technology that's been phased out pretty much everywhere except the United States afaik

Muji nylon case.

why your wallet gotta be "tech"? where 2 kop schoeller 4-way stretch belt??

techwear wallet = mobile phone

[digitaltantra]

the Yasutomo 2020 Wa-ben wallet seems like an interesting tech-y piece to carry, made of virtually rip resistant Cuben Fiber and weighs next to nothing.

[TEKsevenZERO]

After months of hunting and diving down blind alleys and back again, I have eventually got some of these coming, first in the queue but ultimately found myself just holding the door for everyone else.

 

Worth the wait?

Lunis Apollo , MoS aviator chinos  , Thunderbolt Jeans  idk if any of them will be as slim and there's probably more

I've got those Qasa's Tek, they're probably my most worn sneakers. Super comfy, great build and look great with almost any outfit. After about a year the Yohji text has started to wear off but certainly no complaints from me, one of the best pairs of sneakers I've ever owned.

[TEKsevenZERO]

^ That's good to know - I had a pair of the grey lows the other day in a much smaller size - although I 'could' get away with wearing them I really wanted the black leather lows and eventually my patience nor fruit.

 

Just waiting on delivery now from our Teutonic cousins across the channel.

 

Now looking forward to wearing them with a smile and a spring in my step.

You getting this years colour by any chance? Highs that is - I'm hoping to get the olive green.

[Dolphinski]

Absolutely, probably a pair of the black and a pair of the green!

[lesteel]

New Norse Projects Techwear looks cool, check

Slamjam Socialism sale: Nanamica, WTaps, Undercover, Veilance etc (including one size of the Apparat pants last time I checked)

 

[MoreToasties]

For those who had an interest in Klattermusen, I just picked up a Frode softshell and I have some pants incoming.

First impressions are very very good. I'll do a review if anyone is interested.

[Dolphinski]

45min documentary on the future of clothing - not exactly techwear orientated, although there is some interesting stuff with Adidas and their wearable tech sports line.

Got the Qasa today and love them, super comfy and sturdy feeling too in leather, much more so that the fabric, but that is to be expected, anyhow, thought I would do a comparison with the 3M reflective laces.

Before & after (flash fired):

I like them with but will probably alternate as the mood takes me.

Bought some of these CCP trousers in khaki:http://ccp.fm/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=600
I wanted a very light pair of trousers for a holiday to Italy, can't be wearing heavy weight denim in that climate.

I finally got them and they are infact very light. I also like the fit and the details like the drawcord around the cuff and the articulated knee.
