Simple DIY aggressive teccwear tapering options with Sungrip plastic snap buttons.

I recently brought 0608WEAR's TPP-10 pants (The classic BDU design with the Tyvek foil material as cargo pockets) to the tailor to match my height (5'3) and they looked a bit wide for my proportions after altering the length. Obviously I love the tapered look for my pants when going with technical urban wear (i.e. Nikelab ACG Deploy Cargos with the shock cord to wrap around the cuffs to achieve that sharp tapered profile) Luckily I had some spare Sungrip snap buttons laying around in my drawer, so I immediately got to work.

I prefer to position the buttons on the inside leg of the pants (between the seam lines), they seem to look more natural when the fabric is folded inward. The fabrics of these particular pair of pants are quite stiff, so I had to add another buttons on top to make sure the ankle areas are nicely tapered without having the weird warping effects around the legs. Very easy to do it yourself, just need one of those special pliers that are made for plastic snaps and an awl to punch a hole through the fabric.

Another bag that was dropped in China and it looks great! Haven't been able to find any online yet though, would like to get my hands on one of these.

Hey guys ! Few days ago I went to a techno festival and loved seeing lot of people wearing techwear clothings. I already know for years that this kind of stuff exists but never search tho since and discovered that it was techwear stuff.

So I made the best decision a random guy can do at this moment: order dropshipping stuff on Amazon because he’s dumb (IM SO SORRY) but yesterday I received my short.

As a fat person, it was difficult to preshot if the clothe will fit with my measurements but honestly, I found the result cool. I choose a 3XL size and honestly I really like the result. There’s not much stuff on it and it’s 100% polyester but the feeling dude, I was on a cloud, the short is sooo light, I loved it.

I also ordered a bunch pant that I receive today on the same size. Hope to see the result.

Here’s so a picture of me a friend took yesterday, what’s your though ?

I got black and white shoes too but wasn’t a good idea wearing them in a horse field :’)

+ do you have any website of places where I can get clothes for not an expensive price ? I know we can’t get quality without the correct amount of money but honestly at this moment I don’t really care as I just want a first step into it.

Any online website to avoid too ?

Hi, I just had to order one as soon as I saw it. It's a Nike ACG transformable bag, you can wear it as a sling/crossbody bag or turn it into a tote bag!

Anybody heard of it yet or had experience with it? Would like to know what they think.

Been wearing Nike Ispa Drifter Gator recently because it’s been raining for almost over a week now then this happend. I think i still can fix this with EVA foam but the sole have to be stitched. Will post the progress of this project.

From BSTN’s Mizuno campaign from 2024

Tried AI search but it can’t read the details in the pants too well

OBEX is a speculative wearable concept created by South Korean industrial designer Haechan Ryu. Inspired by medieval armor, its micro-perforated optical visor is designed to let the wearer see outward while appearing opaque to cameras and people looking in.

The titanium frame also incorporates proposed PPG sensors, directional speakers and a small status display. However, OBEX is currently a personal design project rather than a commercial product. No manufacturer, price or release date has been announced, and there is no independent evidence showing that it can defeat infrared or depth-based recognition systems.

The concept raises an interesting question: if our faces become permanent digital identifiers in public spaces, will clothing and accessories eventually become tools for protecting our biometric identity?

Hey all,

I've always wanted to get into techwear, because there's parts of it that I liked, but I was never quite able to find my niche. However, I stumbled upon a website called Techwear Club, and I found that a lot of the clothes on there spoke to me in a way that a lot of clothes never have. However however, I've also learned that it's mostly fast fashion, cheap materials, clothes don't look like what they do in the picture, and they frequently send you the wrong order, but expect you to pay to send it back. Not a good company, from what I've heard

I was wondering if anyone knew about any women's techwear websites that had fashion like this? I've browsed around recommendations, but most of them are either not quite what I'm looking for, and/or are mostly men's fashion (pics for reference of what I'm looking for)

Update:

I have since discovered that this is not techwear at all, which makes a lot of sense in retrospect. HOWEVER, I have found some stores that I think fit me better, and as far as I've been able to tell, don't follow fast-fashion business practices

That being:
* Lunafide
* Fabric of the Universe
* Hard N Heavy

I've also found pieces I like from a company called Halara, but most of their stuff is on the more mainstream side of things

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions that helped me get what I was looking for!!

anybody know the pants/short?

Some photos im wearing during storm outside. Also did some edits for the fun of it.
