I really want you to do a full video on making "diy techwear" now. Like how to build a techwear wardrobe from items that are not necessarily "Techwear branded". It's something I've been doing for a while and I really think others could get value from it.

They look like they're really uncomfortable. The fat cuff only really works if you have knee articulation so the cuff stays in place when moving. Sidenote but Guerrilla Group pants are still some of the most aesthetically pleasing pants in the techwear world in my opinion.

I like the new Background!

No one: Antwon the philosopher: WHY?

I love this series! Please find more dropship staples to review and find their proper branded counterpart too. Also, I would like to start a petition for Ant to get a tattoo with the text of random dropship stuff tattooed on him.

The straps on cargo pants started between WWI and WWII and were on all US, some UK etc.. military issued cargo pants, and as you rightly said they were used to hold your gear from rattling around your pocket, but interestingly the biggest use case was to keep your gear quiet as you walked about, so your MREs and pocket knife wouldn't be like a bell around a cow's neck and alert the enemy. I stole my first pair of cargo pants from my Step Dad's army trunk, I had two pair both OD (olive drab), one I cut into baggy drop crop cargo shorts, and the other just as super baggy cargo pants... this was before cargo pants/shorts were even a thing outside the military. I got a lot of looks and some fans (one would start a streetwear label...) and fast forward to 2021, cargos came into fashion in the 90s and 00s and then mainstream dropped them, this weekend I went out to a popular area for night life (as restrictions are eased here in LA) and OMG every other person had some form of cargo pant on, men, women, children, dogs (ok not dogs)... none were really techwear per se... and there I was thinking I was special in my Guerilla Group cargos. 🤷‍♂️😂

I have bought cargos from both Kin Supplies and GoopiMade since watching one of your vids, and both of them I am blown away with. The ones I got are not tech wear but quality of materials, manufacture and design are all fantastic. Many thanks for all the vids.

Heyo! I've been finally looking into getting into techwear and I bought these as a first pair (before I watched this video) and I agree with a lot of your points. THANKFULLY I didn't pay outrageous amounts for it, and it sort of gave me an idea for what the lower end of "techwear" might be like. I don't regret buying these at all, and am sorta happy they were my first because as I see it? It can only really go up from here! I'm saving up and looking into getting the Reindee Lusion 042 Steven Cargos because I've heard those are great starter cargos for techwear. Thank you so much for the content, it really helps me personally learn about new brands, different price points and what really makes something 'techwear'. Keep up the good content!

The little dance at 5:23 was great! Thank you.

I doubt that these are the "legit" ones shown in every picture, here's why: 1. The Photos you, and every resellers uses are done by Enshadower, a taiwanese collective, which is emphasized by the same style of photography and the same backgrounds they use for all their other products. 2.The material is definetly different, catstacc ones look alot darker, have a little less shine and don't keep any wrinkles (like at 1:29, right above the big pockets are creases, that i cant replicate on my pair). It also looks like the material overall is thinner, which is hard to jugde, but the ones i own are really thick, maybe 3-4 times as thick as a normal pair of jeans. 3.The taper seems to be different, they come off as alot wider than mine. 4.The Branding on the big pocket should also say CATSTACC, not Alfric eden. 4.The holes for the "belt"-string are not protected against tear, the ones from catstacc have a rubber coating all around the hole. 5.The price... 30$ is way too low for the "original", since enshadower sold it originally for about 80$ and dropped it in some sales to about 60$, but i have never seen them at a lower price than that. I would guess a limiting factor for those ones to be known as "originals" was the process of ordering back then, where you had to send the founder a dm via instagram or whatsapp, to confirm your order and figure international shipping out, which by the way is no more nowadays, but was a fun experience. Alfric eden are known as a Taobao reseller, but as I stated in a different video from you, the enshadower collective seems to be something completely different. Even i was surprised finding out about the taiwanese fashion scene and how alot of indipendent and upcoming designers try something different with their clothing brands. They may started out in a way where they tried to emulate more global trends, but i think nowadays they have become a brand of their own with alot of interesting styles and new ideas that designers here haven't thought of.

I see you in those Jordan 1 low swooshless! I was just thinking about a pair and here you go popping up in them

GBA recommendation: The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap. Really unique take on the Zelda formula, with a map to be (re)discovered through time.

so, i bought these about a year ago as my first and currently only "techwear" item, I got them off amazon for about 60€ (bummer), I was simply uneducated and didn't really look much deeper than the pictures in the front. I checked a lot of drop shops for techwear and saw these reoccurring often enough to convince me to buy em, I decided for amazon, cause I knew I could trust them. There are still about 5-10 different versions of the exact same product, each at different prices, I thought for 60€, it cant possibly be a total scam, which it technically wasn't - still, I could have gotten them for half the price. In the end the product I got is exactly what you've got in your hands, just with a different brand on it. I still like wearing them, cause I'm not too focused on functional gear, I mostly like the style for its asteatics. Now I started to look for some real techwear stuff, I don't know if I will be buying the same type of product. This time maybe do some research into better options...

6:14 He is literally at the edge of a irl snow and a plain minecraft biome

i like that he’s still wearing the cheap necklace he bought from techwearstore

“Seals in the flavour” ..? That was hilarious and horrifying in equal measure. It’s now also one of my favourite lines, even though it put me off my sausage sarnie (which had Daddies sauce on it, of course)

i have these and wear them often and i agree with most of your points. one thing i notice though is yours only has 1 H hook on each side when it should have 2 per leg! small point to help you strap up better in these

it would be really cool if you would do reviews like this more often, i always don't know which cargos to buy

I noticed the Drifters in the back and got a pair two days after watching your video on it. 😂

Why can’t we have best of both worlds?! Both esthetically pleasing and technically geared worth its $$$

Final Fantasy Tactics was always fun for me back in the day

Nike running pants are very nice most have DWR and the materials are a little water resistant and also they are breathable.

When talking performance, if you’d wear them when going to the gun range I can see them maybe wearing out quicker than pants from a company that sells cargos for our doors purposes and such but over all these paints are okay to be honest. I grabbed these pants last year from there Amazon store just because I was curious as to HOW cheap they were after watching this and to be honest these paints are pretty good and more durable than I expected. If you want something you can wear and hold stuff easily I recommend them, especially if you are short or average height. I’m 5,5 and I got the medium size and they fit well I can move around in every way without feeling constricted.

The looking of the first black cargo is cool, I like it :)

This is the kind of video you should've put out a long time ago. I like this and I like the way you talk about the pants, even if you hated them and would never wear them. I really like the style those cheaper brands offer, like pupil travel, nosucism, enshadower and others but I can't find the same style in other higher end techwear brands. Sometimes reindee lusion or some grailed thing from guerrilla group... Other mid tier brands recommended in this channel go in a different direction aesthetically... Maybe enfin leve, but they are way too price to build a whole wardrobe out of them

Just when I had given up hope, it's finally here!

Blacktailor is another dodgy retailer that re-stylised and inflates the price of taobao cargos

GBA recommendations: Golden Sun and both Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission

Mate! You might wanna do a video on the OrbitGear stuff! They have jackets and pants now❗️ 😁

I was thinking of buying these yet I just realized that I probably own the WW2 airborne pants at 3:10 lol

It’s like a *forest* sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from goin under

Check out the GBA version of "The Return of the King". So good and surprisingly in depth for a GBA game. I've probably played 500 hours and there is still stuff I haven't found or mastered

Mussolini called, he wants his Pants back.

Hey Antwon, I just saw a video talking about Titanium Dioxide clothes created by russians. Could you do a video on this issue? The potential for sports, tactical and "techwear" is huge. They say it's cheap, no need to wash, prevents odor... It sounds like a safe bet.

what are those trainers in the background?

I’m going to buy the $160 Holy Grails soon so I’m happy I don’t have to worry about less quality cheap cargos

look call me uncultured and whatnot but "daddys brown sauce" sounds sooo bad lmao

You should rank your sneaker collection🥾

Those look dope ur trippn Only thing wrong is the cuffs

Whether they look good or not is irrelevant, because it's YOUR opinion. But thanks for the review on the quality.

to me personally anything that does not fulfill a technical function is a waste of material. its sort of why i tend to be mega impressed by larping, while i am very little impressed by cosplay (outside of the actual ability to recreate a fantsay character in detail in real life, damn great craftsmanship). i just hate the idea of an adeptus astartes getting stabbed because his armor was made out of foam, wouldnt happen to you with a medieval larper. those guys wear actual armor and poke at each other with actual swords. its the same for me with fake pockets and fake straps. sure it might look great, but if i cannot put anything inside a pocket, i dont want it

New background is cool

Any alternative or suggestions? The budget cargo has no option in this style iirc

Thanks for the album advice man

These pants were my first entry into techwear back when I hadn't heard of techwear and was looking for something with a military ninja vibe. I still wear them, but really big and I wear them up around the knees with long socks or calf sleeves. I ended up getting a pair of Reindee Lusion's Steven Cargos and they're great!

Yea I’ve got these as well and the cut is super annoying. I would much prefer these were made out of a different material that sacrificed the “water resistance” for comfort. Trying to move in these things is a pain in the ass. Spend a bit more and look into pupil travel and reindee lusion for a decent budget option

Can you do a review of M-Tac's Aggressor Flex Cargo Pants? These seem to be a good budget brand with a lot of tech features.

would love for you to do a video on cattstac, or some of the other enshadower brands. Recently bought a pair of cattsac cargos and honestly? they super nice, would really recommend

I miss the old gorilla groop

I paid around the same, maybe a little less. Got it from taobao and its currently sitting in my agents warehouse waiting for me to get the rest of the products for shipping.

I see you rocking the dxxmlife shirt, how is the quality ?

If I’m being honest they look cool for me but the straps on it kinda feels uncomfortable and if is water proof how you wash them

I need to know what those socks are!

where did you get tabi socks? I recently bought a pair of tabi sneakers and I can't find any socks bigger than size 43

Is 70 to 100 a good price

I wait for some videos targeting techwear veterans.

I always see Hoodstore selling decent Cargos but don't know if they're legit or a drop shipper cuz I can't find those styles on AE or Taobao.

So i am really into these joggers,cargo,hoodies with straps,can you recommend me some good shop that sell strapped things,also whould be cool if the quality and price is good

What and where is a "TaoBao" shop??? at 1:16 And what is your waist and inseam measurements?

Where's your pendant from king?

What is the most comfortable ‘tech’ fabric for pants? In your opinion

Hi order these they havent came yet but I kinda their look they cost me 35 dollars but could you recommend some pants that I should buy next?

proclub cargos are more comfortable to wear imo.

I personally sometimes buy techwear on taobao Well it’s easy for me because I live in HK and study in UK I mainly buy techwear in taobao because of its price. Sometimes it’s really cheap. But one thing you need to know when u buy things in taobao (not only clothes) is to choose a good brand. Buying stuff in taobao is not bad if you know what u doing like I buy a lot of stuff in taobao sometimes cheap sometimes expensive but it really comes to experience. Ofc there are bad stuff so does on any market I don’t think we should label everything taobao is bad. Like pupil travel for example . And also I got this GXG pants for like 12 quid. It isn’t full techwear but sort of a middle ground it got 2 pocket on right and 3 on left on the ankle and 2 on the back . At first I thought the ankle pocket is for aesthetics but there is a buckle to close the pocket which is really helpful. I often put my AirPod there when I am playing basketball just to secure it.

Que talla es ese pantalón?

which size is it please

Seals in the flavor lol

I wish there was more affordable tech wear accessible for plus size ppl. I have a 52" hip on a good day. Come on man!

Pokemon Emerald is a classic. Opinions on uk streetwear brands (represent, summit) cargoes?

Ooh he's first

My ones say land coambt group and I bought it from blacktailor. I still like them, and you're right about it fitting Asian body types better since I dont get that riding up the leg as much -I would like to get rig of the text, and was hoping for it to wash out, but alas, it is quite persistent. Also, any recommendations on an actual version of these? since I still do like the design

I personally pull my pants and underwear all the way down to my ankles when I use a urinal. Anyone who doesn’t is simply weak.

I was wondering if you had any affordable techwear cargo pants that you would recommend for someone that’s new to techwear

Your face looks really nice and healthy-shiny today. What changed?

I have a pair of cheap tech wear cargos, can barely even jog in them, they don't stretch whatsoever and the stitching is horribad

Hay you tried ASRV? Are they any good?!

So basically, they're cosplay quality. They look to be only a mild step above that cheap Amazon retailer cosplay material that allows absolutely zero give when actually worn on the body. It's quite literally worse than H&M pants, so defeats the purpose of what techwear is actually meant to be.

have you seen the tik tok costco techwear cargos?

If you dont want to pay much, just buy ranger pants and taper them yourself and you will have quality and look for 20 to 40 dollars...

Anyone thinking about wasting their money on this taobao detritus should instead save for a more reputable product that looks good, feels comfortable, and is built to last.

Dxxmlife shirt?

hell no!

????????? As a male, I fucking hate those holes on pants where you're supposed to pee from wtf, I've always pulled down my pants

I'm looking for a actual techwear joggers, does anyone know any good brands 🤔

to bad real teach wear gear is way over price

Is it bad that I wear my black Dickies cargos around on the street? It's a bit of Tradecore lmfao

1 size up on these and they'd look very acronym like wit those things at the bottom tbh...

Hi. Does anyone have experience with techwear brand HolyGrail ? I'd like to buy some of their clothing but i don't want to be scamed or ripped off.

I dont like skinny cargos its not nice in the woods

💯

I like techwear & your videos ate okay, but what fuq nut pays £500 for a sale pair of trousers… honestly

Bab(antwon)booey

would it be fun if ant dressed like a roadman

id rather spend 60-80$ on high quality "non techwear" skater/workwear/outdoorsey cargos

Gabigool

i wish techwear could be more affordable for people (but then again if it was it wouldnt be as small and unique as it is aswell as fast fashion companies would milk tf out of it)

Haaaaaay I'm Asian that joke was offensive (jk)

Yeah, these pants look like shit. What’re you gonna do with yours? I’d suggest burning them but you can get banned in r/techwear for that

Yea techwear club is a ripoff
