    Good pic and decent fit, perhaps a bit uninspired since the fit seems to be 90% FOTU brand. I would like to see a bit more personality. More punk in the cyberpunk pls

    I really like it, but it’s a bit funny that the pockets must be stuffed with something light to achieve the look, defeating the functionally of all those pockets.

      Solution is simple: stuff pockets with cotton candy, and then if you want to put something in the pockets, just eat the candy.

        Oh yes, stuff some cotton candy in a pocket that you’re going to wear close to your body for awhile. That’ll go well.

          Absolutely. Then if you get surrounded by your enemies, reach into the pockets and throw a handful of Pocket Ants!

    No, I couldn’t.

    My gut is too big.

    And I’d be snagging little bits of that outfit on every little protruding item I walked by.

      There are at least 4 straps 20cm or longer just hanging loose. This outfit is a hazard. You’d be lucky to walk through a doorway without getting caught on something.

        Workwear cargo trousers are worth their weight in cordura (the heavier the material, the less likely they are to fall apart like cheap scamazon gahbage)

        And they come in people sizes cause we built.

            Oh dont get me started on how enshittification has hit clothing these days. I tried to get a pair from a brand I’d seen someone at work in, but because the company got bought out, they were made pf the thinnest material I’ve seen, every stitch had a long thread coming out of it somewhere. They went straight to the charity shop cause scamazon wont take them back

              Yeah it’s horrible. I used to be able to get at least a year out of a pair (I wear them every day and do a lot of physical work that really tears them up) and now like I said the last two had crotch rips within two months. It also felt like they changed the cut of them as well. I dug out an older pair to substitute in my rotation and it was waaaaay roomier than the new pair and still the same size

                Not to sound like a shill but Scruffs are pretty solid, have been using them in a rough environment for a few years without them collapsing (they have a reinforced patch in the crotch to boot)

    That’s actually what really frustrates me with Fabric of the Universe—all their designs look so damn good, until they put their logo and name on everything ever, breaking any sort of immersion and diegetics.

      Putting your name, brand, logo all over everything is kind of normal in fashion tho. Heck not just fashion.

      My main issue is their price to quality ratio.

        I mean, I specifically avoid anything with text or logos.

        I feel like if I’m trying to create a look that has a point, splattering a brand name over myself ruins that.

        Not a single logo in sight. It would detract from the aesthetic.

          Fair enough. I could go either way.

          I think FotU is going for that mecha derived look that is quite popular. Which borrowed for military aircraft. Lots of writing, warnings, symbols and so on.

          Stuff like this: Which is just a decal sheet for generic sci-fi.

          Throwing their name in there is just a small step. You even kind of see that on the car side of things with brand logos everywhere.

          I wish it wasn’t brands though cus I don’t wanna be a billboard…

          Not necessarily true. Some of the most expensive brands are all about showing the brand off as a sign of wealth and exclusivity. See: LV, chanel, Gucci as obvious examples, Ferrari, Tag, Hermes, Dior, so on as less obvious but still very brand forward.

          Companies love using people as walking ads. You even pay them to do it instead of the other way around. It’s genius but sad.

              Pretty sure those are just cucinelli. Not that expensive in the grand scheme of quality clothing. Ridiculous for the average person unless you care that much about having high quality clothes, but only about $300.

              Though there are better values for quality out there like maybe kiton or LP. None of these are the style to be like brand forward. More meant to be staple low mental effort stuff then statement pieces.

    I mean it looks cool, but come on!

    Short sleeves? The outfit looks warm and weather proof, but the short sleeves make no sense: when it’s warm enough for short sleeves it’s too warm for this outfit.

    Or the other way around, if it’s the right weather for this kind of clothing (cool, rainy) the short sleeves will be absolute horrible.

      You don’t need to keep your entire body warm, you just need to keep enough of it warm for homeostasis, and ironically enough most modern clothing don’t address the greatest loss of heat, that active airflow system we call breathing. A simple COVID helps keep the heat tank that is your moisture from getting lost to the ambient air .

      I mean, this outfit is clearly for cosplay, but keeping your sleeves short means being able to move your arms more freely and helps your skin from becoming damp swamp. It would have its uses even in cold weather.
