Gorpcore, Japanese Americana, Workwear - Fall Fashion 2021

[@kinkaly]

Man, as someone from Canada that's been wearing arc’teryx for forever because it's functional for winter, it's so hilarious to me that it's like such an "it" brand right now. Love the video man!

[@LG-yp7ot]

Best for your money winter jacket from arcteryx youd recommend?

[@Lovecore802]

Ok pick me

[@marcop.525]

What models do you recommend?

[@nbshftr]

do you guys want arcteryx as a brand, or do you want a goretex shell?

[@jacksongammer323]

It feels weird to see Arcteryx as a staple in a fashion right now, growing up in Vancouver and buying these jackets to go camping with family, with the core selling point being the functionality of the product. Makes the products feel odd to wear as casual pieces especially since we only ever used these jackets in certain periods of the year. Fantastic that the brand is still sticking to its USP.

feel like japanese americana styling is something you could replicate yourself if you learn like basic stitching and sewing skills which makes it a lot more accessible

[@emoburger42069]

Arcteryx also has a pretty extensive used gear online store too which is cheaper than new arc. Also don’t forget about acronym!

23:54 I’m from Arizona been finding Arteryx, Patagonia, Burton & lots of vintage jackets at the thrifts

[@harrisonevers7777]

I think it’s worth mentioning vintage military surplus/military inspired pieces as a sort of sub-section of workwear in that it was made to be utilized by people working with machinery. In fact, there’s an argument that vintage military style intersects with all of these styles. Reworked and reproduced military jackets and pants are often released by Japanese Americana designers, and while old military pieces don’t immediately scream gorpcore and might be impossible to style with a lot of modern gorpcore clothes, they have a sort of utilitarian style and function that attracted rock climbers and hikers in the 70s to them. In fact, I could see retro outdoor styles maybe taking off in the future.

[@henryvalero8619]

Its crazy how you talking about maturing in clothing when talking about japanese amaricana related with me so much, ive been starting to gear towards more of that genre transitioning from street wear, and you explaining that transition explained my life the past 2 months. Took my thoughts out my brain , Gained a loyal Sub, great video

[@delaneyaintnobody]

Workwear with the Japanese Americana and some slight gorp pieces is definitely where my style is kinda headed been wearing double knees for like 2 years and now can kinda touch some gorp and Japanese Americana pieces with spending a bit. Definitely still all inspired and put together my the mind of a kid who was into streetwear. All about the pieces, mindset, and how you style it

[@JCFGraphixx]

love from the PH! Moved here from the US for college and i love following current trends and stuff. i miss fall/winter seasons lmao

[@guruprince1272]

Another con for Japanese Americana is also sizing as their sizes are all over the place and usually a size smaller then standard sizing charts i think according to a few reviewers i've watched

[@colmcgillveray1010]

Tiny, tiny shoulders..

Glad to see another brotha putting out quality content. Most videos I come across are extremely trendy and fast fashion based as you mentioned, but I have a hard time finding Americans (especially brothas) being able to talk about fashion in depth. Your videos are greatly appreciated. Plus I spent many years in Tokyo. Look for me in the comments! I’m heading to Denver this weekend? And recommendations for shops?

[@DrewJoiner]

Man I’m sorry I was so slow you need to hit up Steadbrook as well as Ten Penny Thrift

[@simonallum7720]

your descriptions on japanese americana is very on point buddy

[@jaysonrichardson2797]

Pata Retro-X vests and jackets are a must for fall/winter. Snap-T's as well.

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

Great content and thorough information. While I don't personally ascribe to some of the stylistic tendencies you touch upon, it is useful to know price points, functionality, history and to have a more ample view of what is relevant internationally, as well as how the cultural exchange between nations has influenced and impacted the vast gamut of fashion. Your words of encouragement and well wishes are also much appreciated.

i guess people outside the US don't have to deal with the inauthenticity surrounding workwear brands, cause like here in asia, workers don't even have the luxury to know any 'brands' whatsover, and ppl who are into fashion will buy the double knees and Eisenhower jackets through resellers, which is ironic in itself

Lol no way! Karrimor (we pronounced it as carry-more) was such a trend in 2008 - 2012 in South African primary/high schools. Everyone wanted to sport the water-proof, two-tone backpacks! There were so many knock-offs too, it’s crazy. I got only got mine 2012 and used it through high school (2015.) I rode that trend till it was in the ground. I’m not even ashamed! 😂😂

Bro love the gorpcore insight! I saw a lot of people wearing arc’teryx the past year or two and even salomon so I knew for a fact that those outdoor/“hiking” brands would pop off sooner or later. I think Northface/Patagonia is going to pop off even more with this new trend being more popularized and with it being at a more “affordable” price, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in others wardrobe going forward! Anyways, great vid bro! 🔥

[@guruprince1272]

Wait I wanna understand whether to you personally if Levis is work or Americana or both and also wanna understand the reason why it wasn't included in either of the lists as according to it's history was used by miners or handy man back in the the early 90's for hands on duties as some of the oldest pairs were found in the mines after being discarded due to them being overused. I have reason to believe it could run under both categories due to some Japanese Americana pieces being made from old vintage Levis. Oh and this is not to bash the video but to get some insight and amazing videos BTW as usual.

[@DrewJoiner]

I think it was work as you mentioned and is less workwear now and falls in line with being a American Heritage brand. I would say it’s more Americana

[@guruprince1272]

Makes Sense

[@bongocatbtw878]

Here in Sweden fall and Winter can hit quite hard that means the gorp stuff will be very used even in cities. Even tho further north it will be more comlon w the shoes n stuff for example...
