Lately, I’ve been into (mostly Japanese) urban outdoor wear for lack of a better term. It’s not quite tech ninja, maybe a little friendlier. Here’s my list:

and wander
Nike ACG
Goldwin
Snow Peak (but most of it is too short on me)
ROA

Any other suggestions?
All the years I worked in apparel, I never concentrated on what other designers were doing. I only focused on what the designer I worked with wanted. I’m just a Jean t-shirt guy. I wish I kept up with trends, but I was to busy trying help designers start them.

I like the stuff CCP does
For a second there, I thought you meant Carol Christian Poell 😅

I had not heard of CCP, so thanks for the heads up.

I remember CCP from way way back, lots of bike-oriented stuff at the time iirc (this was when fixies where huge all over the world, a century ago).

Also, @zissou your list reminded me of this og on ig who used to style those kinds of brands in very inspired ways, with lots of big pants and overalls/coveralls, and he often had this weird little hat on. This was like 8 years ago but his handle was 'softs' or something like that, don't know if he's still around but he was cool. Might still have a bookmark somewhere

Found it! https://www.instagram.com/_softs/

doesn't feel as fresh as I remembered but I didn't look back very far, maybe trends just caught up since

Thanks for the tip. He puts up some interesting fits, but a lot of camo these days. And the shirt around the waist is very 90s grunge vibe. I’ll give him a follow.

I’m just realizing that my field is just even more casual than I used to dress. And, after meeting the ACG design team last week, I was all 😍. Plus, I want more clothes to mix up with my TNF Soukuu kit from last AW.
