Urban Techwear

[danii]

someone could argue...

[Rain Dogs]

Guys, sorry in advance. I know this isn't really techwear, but I couldn't find a more appropriate place to ask. Been trying to ID this 'Dalston' sweatshirt all morning with no luck. Can anyone help me out? There's a purple 8 on the left sleeve, if that helps.

I don't think anyone can argue the contribution that Mssrs Osti and Blechman have made to what we now call techwear.  Massimo was undoubtably a huge influence on Errolson.

the progression from mhi to acr is obvious. when you look at the early acr stuff there's late nineties uk rave culture all over it. like with music, you build on the previous cool thing to end up with the next cool thing. makes you wonder what the next step will look like.

You could probably pick that up at any London market. Try Camden for starters... or, more obviously, Dalston.

it worked, so it's good enough. 

rain dogs -> tweet this acc, he/she knows

and no. it's available only in france it seems, only 'Dalston' branded items you can get in Dalston is a 4 seater Dalston sofa inside the ridley road mall.
or a 20 quid cocktail with some jamaican punch done by hipsters down in 'untitled', I'd guess..

might as well get that instead to be relevant

 yeah being using pretty much the whole line for a while, in a word it’s a small company for people who love crazy materials and soft shells.

      The good is as starting brand,users could pick up things relatively casually than, well Acr lol lol, these old good time. The team is small too, you could reached the boss Steve or Jo to get thing sorted ranging from shipping, preview and anything else.

      The build quality, I would list it as the same level as outlier. And the packaging design is more outlier than Acr.All the things were made in Portugal.

       The matrsials strategy, cofounder told me he really loves schoeller so that is the main reason choosing it as the mainly supplier, and so until the latest reflective jacket there is no much hard shell.

        The design,id say dudes may not trying their full fire aiming that yet? They hired the design team, used for some sport goods, but I could tell ideas was insert into design was after thinking decision, which is quite smart, like the green spot recognition pullover, though you say it’s used popular on outdoors, but that whole output is quite well.

        The philosophy of the brand? It’s absolutely no urban ninja shit or to street wear. It’s kind some gear for extreme outdoor environment but not that sporty, some cozy adventurous pack with low key design and some good ideas too.

        Price wise, no cheap,they based in Uk and doing things like acr.

        Also, for specific models, except the Kevlar hoody and the latest reflecting jacket, I could tell the details if someone here interested.

I'm selling a pair of unworn Onu ankle pants in sz. 32, in black if anyone is interested. Selling for 200 shipped worldwide or make offers!

[Xu Jianfeng]

This really is something, something amazingly good. Can’t to wait to see prototypes.

[danii]

at first glance I thought you lock it with rotating it and you can just operate the zipper as you are used to, but seeing it in a video that one has to rotate it to make it move/close the zipper I find it hardly useful. It's a nice concept tho and looks nice on the bag.

speaking of zippers, anyone seen any of those magnetic zipper ends underarmour teased us while ago?

I don't understand this at alllllll. This zipper seems so non-functional, especially from a time perspective. If i'm going to zip something up, i expect that to be done in a quick 1-step process. This having to turn a dial concept literally leaves me baffled, sure its cool, but it makes no sense from a functionality perspective.

Vollekbak is amazing, hands down one of the greatest brands when it comes to their attention behind all aspects of whatever it is they're creating. I would say they have a different niche interest then Outlier so I don't think comparing the two are a good fit. I personally own the Baker Miller Hoodie. Bought this back in 2015 when they first released it. Probably my favorite hoodie I own from a functionality perspective, however I don't wear it that often only due to living in California. But if I ever have a hard time sleeping, I just hop up and throw this on, get right back in bed and zip the hood all the way up and pass the fuck outttt. Adding a b-rip to that mix is just as spectacular too.

[danii]

I wanted to buy that pink one but the real life photos put me off, the clrway presented on the web is quite nice but looks more like piggie pink on the photos from the talkshow they were to.

[mariahscarry]

They make it in additional colors now too! I love the pink personally, it's such a statement piece.

They have them in products: https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/mens/mag-zip/g/3911h

Most have the logo pretty prominently though.

http://www.poutnikbytilak.cz/en website was updated with the acronym team x boa collection

[cz shipping only] I feel like this is Japan or some other not second-world country.

[Inkinsurgent]

i liked poutnik better when they still recycled old acr patterns

 

give me my sage sweat & hoodie

[Brainboy]

Got myself Tilak Poutník Knight pants a while ago. Perfect transition piece, served me well on my trip to Scotland, perfomed well in moors and mountains and looked good enough for nice Edinburgh bars. They still have that Acronym DNA but can't really put a finger on it.

Excellent pants, something that Veilance should try to make instead of those nice but crappy Voronois (now made in bloody China) that cost 3x the price of this.

[Inkinsurgent]

the voronoi is the best looking pant in the world but they should really apply some outdoor dna to it to make it last as long as a €350 pair of pants should.

[symbebekos]

I'd love to try a pair of the Poutník pants. Has anyone used a CZ proxy?? Any chance Tilak would ship to the US?

Any recommendations for insulated or water resistant baseball caps?  Goretex, wax-cotton, polartech etc.  Kinda want one for light rain and one for when it gets cold. I might just cop the 1k Corp wax-cotton cap thats out now.

Also, I'll write up a longer review later but after trying basically everything out there (Outlier StDs, SDs, FWs, 60/30, OGs, Wester Rise, Onu) the Mission Workshop Mission Jeans are the best tech-ish pants out there.  Def need tailoring to actually make them slim below the knee and the "won't bag out" thing is ...not accurate but they look great and are comfortable as hell.

This past summer season Maple offered the lightest weight ventile 5 panel cap I seen so far. Decent for rain.

There are various versions of the loro piana storm system baseball cap (with hidden earflaps). Good for cold.

I would second the Loro piana storm System. 

I have the Guerilla group hat and wore it in rain and held up well to my surprise.

[scamster]

wings + horns have a six panel cap made from waterproof merino wool made by schoeller. minimal branding in a dark charcoal grey looks real nice actually thinking of picking one up for myself.
