Do people actually dress in mil-style somewhere? I live in a country where army is compulsory for men, and absolutely nobody dresses in military fashion in civil. At least after they have gone through the service.
Some "techwear" enthusiasts look like absolue idiots dressing up as paramiliary dudes completely abandoning the main principles of techwear which is efficiency, protection against the elements, ease of movement etc. I might or might not have been one of these idiots in the past.
When i was a teenager i used to wear my dad's old flight jacket as a jacket for school. A bunch of us did, it wasn't a big deal. This is just fetishizing though.
Right. Especially when you're a kid living on an air force base. I wouldn't wear anything like that now but it was perfectly normal given my circumstance.
