    the term "functional clothing" is way more broad and fitting than "techwear". I get why ERLSN and others dont like to use the term, and I also prefer just looking for specific functionality. And this includes form, material, fit, looks, social messaging, whatnot. And this is all stuff "techwear" can cater to. While most people live in very different situations and use cases, there is no "techwear" style fpr everyone; its way more divers. Also: I much prefer DIYing stuff to buying expensive functional clothing, and with a good bit of practice you can get not as good results as acrnm but you can come very close. With the right materials and some design practice this is a great thing to do!

    This is definitely one of your most necessary video because if it's techwear or any other fashion choice what's really important is how each item fits with your wardrobe. The techwear genre is largely misunderstood and generally approached in a meme like fashion where if it isn't overly LARPy or cosplay it gets overlooked. Coming from a military/law enforcement background I can say alot of our gear fit what techwear is so our approach has always focused on performance, wear/breathability etc and I just assumed others chose clothing in accordance with what works for them personally. Anyway, that's my two cents, thanks again for a great video!

Making sure that the pieces I love also adapt to my own style and how it can go with my own wardrobe. I want techwear to work for me and not the way around because it’s so easy to fall into a cheesy trendy looking outfit. It’s important to not loose your self in the style but to rock it but with your own flavor and personality. That’s where I feel creative and innovative techwear is born. Just my opinion thanks!

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Techwear. The style is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the functionality will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also ACRONYM's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their clothing - their personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these clothes, to realize that they're not just cool- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Techwear truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in ACRONYM's existencial catchphrase "Waterproof fabric," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Errolson Hugh's genius unfolds itself on their bodies. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Techwear tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

    I never felt compelled to any aesthetic because it always seemed so limiting. Now, the secret agent/techwear aesthetic feels completely different to me. It's nothing you do for attention, you have to put effort into it because it's quite rare compared to soft boy aesthetic or something. Less people will tell me that I don't fit the aesthetic because they simply don't know it, and I can comfortably stay with my own choices without commitment.

    Yes, as someone relatively new to techwear, I've realized the utilitarianism and simplistic style at the core of techwear. I tend to choose items that are appropriate for my area's climate and actually within my budget. A number of items in my collection aren't made as techwear, or even from top brands, but serve a purpose, both aesthetically and practically.

I'm resonating with the message a lot tho. I'm drawn to the aesthetic largely because of how it looks, but strickly with respect to how the outfit flows together. I also realize that there are other areas of fashion that I wanna draw from to combine with techwear, so glad to hear I'm on the right path as far as the mindset goes. One day I'll be able to afford the aesthetic that I want haha. Great video, you've got another follower!

    Great vid man. Your viewpoint is exactly how I view techwear. My style is more military, gritty, cyberpunk, etc. So when I search for technical clothing I don't just make blind purchases just because they are grail brands. I love Guerilla Group bc they fit my aesthetic but they also have some fits that I am not interested in achieving. Best advice is to do your research and be aware of who is at the forefront of techwear but to also buy items that fit your look not just items that check a box. I'm about to purchase my first Stony jacket but my reasoning is that it fits my aesthetic and is practical for my lifestyle. With that mindset you wind up with a more sensible wardrobe that is curated by you personally and you may wind up developing a more unique look.

    Those are some very good points, seriously. Personally, I dearly love the cyberninja aesthetic and find a lot of inspiration in techwear, but naturally gravitate towards minimal athleisure (cozy boi forever) with a bit of a futuristic/avantgarde edge rather than dressing up for the war against the machines. Knowing what you like and not wearing it for imaginary style points-and that includes hype-is the most conscious way to consume and build a wardrobe that'll outlast trends. I have 40€ Adidas sneakers I wear with shirts from A Cold Wall, because I love both equally and they work together. If the stuff you own doesn't have intrinsic value for you and you alone, why do you even own it in the first place? Your fits will never be good enough in the eyes of gatekeeping elitists, and most of the other people around you probably don't have the same perception of the brands/aesthetic you like, or they simply don't care about fashion in the first place, which is also perfectly viable. It just clothing, after all. Have fun with it.

    I dont know how i even found that video but here is my take on the subject: I personally believe the term Tech-wear just derived from some poeple first starting to integrate outdoor, hiking or travel gear with other styles of street or sports fashion thus creating the subgenre. I agree with the fact that a certain amount of functionality is to be considered before buying because of he outdoor aspect. Even though when i went to buy some clothes for an Iceland trip in 2014 and later a Philippines trip in 2018 i noticed the marketing in the Outdoor market is somewhat even crazier than in the fashion market using terms like water resistance and durability of items as selling points. I think it comes down to what you just concluded: Think before you buy and more than anything, think if you will be happy wearing these clothes in the long run. Not just buying and enjoying the rush of spending money. That applies to all styles of fashion and life in general. Especially the fashion world is highly psychologic and built to make us buy certain items just becaus they are fashionable right now and an entire aparatus of advertisements and social media influence is built around that to make us spend our money. In the end the one thing that makes any outfit look great is the person wearing it nd the confidence he/she carries. And if you stay dry while doing so it´s a plus...but rain can be nice aswell.

    I think techwear is just an umbrella term for anything dystopian, futurist or cyberpunk. Ofcourse it's a shame that the performance element is disregarded in most "techwear" labelled clothing. But for example MXDVS, they label themselves as punk and make some great "techwear" pieces. It's all in the eye of the beholder honestly.
