wow nice pic of someone wearing bela's clothes from 2016

[ramdomthought]

it has taken me far too long to realize that 18east is an "instagram brand" for nerds on styleforum

[starfox64]

they have nice fleeces though

[skunk ape]

I know ramdom likes 'em but is 4sdesigns gonna survive? The prices are absolutely bonkers, on sale seems like it should be the retail price.

[ramdomthought]

no clue if they'll survive, half of me reads it as the folks who are the owners bringing in angelo as more of a fabric consultant than anything. buscemi and fear of god using very similar fabrics and seem to have some design language with the brand, so perhaps it's a passion project of sorts?

sell through definitely isn't great though. only place with decent sellthrough that i've seen has been todayclothing this last fall (and hell, half of that was me)

[ramdomthought]

@skunk ape you have always been right about new balance 99x's. i must admit that past me was wrong and they do, in fact, stink

Technical clothing fucking sucks. Just stay inside when it rains. Or wear your shittiest clothes because you don't care if they get filthy unlike your $800 pants that could be in a starship troopers reboot. The ACRNM lineage is a plague.

Are they rebooting starship troopers????

[skunk ape]

ur no longer allowed to wear wetsuits when surfing. just dont do it when the water's cold

[bels]

Trash is right tbh. Everyone who wears tech cutting ends up having a second tier of tech fitness that they can actually wear every day without worrying about their shit delaminating or getting destroyed by road grime.

That said he also has about thirty pairs of flannel trousers that I believe operate in the same way so I'm not sure it's easier a valid complaint.

cool cyberpunk ninja but they cant sneak up on u cuz u can hear coming them a kilometre away bc their goretex j47-gt is swishing against their dryskin p31a-ds

"just stay inside when it rains" absolutely disregards tropical life reality, but also umbrellas are great + light water-resistant jacket or pullover is enough

but also the thought of fused garments and taped seams just un-fusing themselves into oblivion is hell

60/40 is the pinnacle of performance fabrics

4sdesigns is the latest in care-tag clothing
