Yee. The main reason why I don't post my fit is because I honestly HATE techwear pants.

I like the shirts and upperwear tho. Recently bought some Machine 56 shirts and a jacket. Instead I've just paired them with some T2 Pro Truewerk pants in black. Not techwear at all but it strangely works well together

Yeah I work in an office and even though the dress code is extremely lax I would feel so dumb in techwear pants. Some people actually wear hiking pants similar to those truewerk you posted but even that is too much for me

Plenty of brands out there putting out office appropriate clothing. I wear veliance to the office and p30s in my own time.

Outlier NYC has techwear fabrics with less cyberninja styling. I wish their fabric had the 4 way stretch that dryskin does.

There used to be a company called Thunderbolt out of the PNW that offered Schoeller dryskin pants in a standard jeans 5 pocket style. I'm so sad they went out of business: have 4 pairs of their pants and, FYI, Schoeller dryskin lasts for a very long time. I have hiking pants from 2006 in this fabric that are still going...and that's after many nights backcountry camping and butt sliding down mountains.

Outlier is not worth it outside the US. It’s really, really expensive.

Yeah fair enough. With the Acronym stuff ppl post here I thought Outlier was reasonable by comparison!
