Depends on the cat. Never tried that but from my experience having blood drawn at the vet, either food, rest, or being in an unfamiliar place chills them out.
AliExpress has a shitton of cyberpunk-y clothes like that. Some stuff on the cheaper side can look worse than on the photo, but if you check reviews with photos, you can get yourself a decent outft.
The other thing is sizing - again, look for reviews where people write something like: "I weigh this and my height is that and it fits ok [ordered XL]”
I actually like it, I never deal with freezing temperatures though now I'm cold when it drops below 20 haha. I don't do like outside labor during the day and have a brick home so it isn't so bad
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.
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)
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)
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.
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.
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 have a weird relationship to tech wear. I like it, but it doesn't really match my style. And Fabric of the Universe charges crazy shipping to Europe.
This outfit looks functional but i would argue that in fact it isn't, it doesn't really serve a purpose other than look cool which means that once it stop being cool it ends up in a trash can.
The shoes are always the part of 'streetwear' that make me roll my eyes. Even more than the ridiculous bag pockets, they always seem to be going for the I'm-going-to-fall-out-of-these-or-spend-an-hour-putting-them-on style.
hightop anything is comfy, fight me. like even skating shoes (d3h for example) are awesome, they feel like cushy slippers if you like that kind of sole
My goal is to have all my clothes be various shades of near-black gray. But relatives keep gifting me clothes of assorted colors, and I'm too poor not to wear those. Thankfully I have at least steered the folks in the direction of mostly gray and, bafflingly, swamp green.
If I were 20 years younger, I'd be all over this! I feel like as an older dude I would just look silly wearing crop hoodies and cargo pants with way too many pockets and straps.
I love this look, but I'm struggling with the intersection of this and age. Frankly, I have no idea what middle-aged-but-not-dead-yet looks like when dressing in a more streetware/cyberpunk savvy way.
I don't have the RAM to pocketmax.
Then resign yourself to the shame of being pocketmogged 🗿
This look rules so hard. I would absolutely dress like this if I had the money.
I would dress like this if I didn't have two black and white cats (my lint roller usage is through the roof already)
Would lunarcore fashion solve that issue?
Unironically love this. There more of it somewhere?
Behold: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g_mVAILL9o4
Noice!!
Black fur would still show, depends on the fabric really. I just power thru it, though sometimes I wish I had like devon rexes or something like that
Problem solved I'm kidding!
They'd appreciate it in the summer ngl
How does one convince a cat to stay still during this procedure?
Depends on the cat. Never tried that but from my experience having blood drawn at the vet, either food, rest, or being in an unfamiliar place chills them out.
What do you even dress in if that's the issue? Plaid?
All black mostly, I suffer through it and take the hit in time taken to get dressed
edit: jeans or synthetic stuff doesn't care for the most part
😭 Oh my god, I always forget about this. My girl would ruin my clothes as well.

🤜🤛
Like a mall ninja?
Hell yeah
At first glance, the thumbnail made it look like they have a torpedo level as part of their outfit.
If not that, then what is it?
"Remove before flight" tag
Some type of “curse” sigil?
TIL they're called torpedo level
And riding this bike...
Good god, with that fork angle it must have like twenty meters turning radius.
The steering is linked to a typical steering head and fork angle.
Recumbent bikes are better! REeeeeeee!
F9 is great, but some of his videos have unintentional hilarity mixed in with the penis jokes.
But can it akira slide???
What has it got in its pocketses, precious?
pack-mule chic
If you pull the ripcord, does the parachute pop out?
I am the darkness... the darkness requires storage...
When you equip this outfit:
Rob Liefeld was a consultant. Fortunately they got someone else for the shoes.
thank you, it took a while but here it is
I live in a place that is regularly over 38c
my condolences

He looks like that weird guy in an anime. You know the one. The weird weird one.
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.
Yeah sadly streetwear/cyberwear just didn't work for those of us of the thick persuasion
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.
Yeah I live in workwear but they are definitely getting weaker, last pair I got ripped in 2 months x-x
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.

✊ The struggle is real.
Just because I'm collecting boar asses doesn't mean it's a shitty quest! Wait...
Sorry I'm not a Netrunner. Also stop trying to make cyberpunk happen, by god let's not make it happen
It feels like it already is happening.
Everything but the cool shit like this outfit. It’s cyberpunk in sweatpants ffs.
Sweatpants are comfy. If they make neon glowy sweats then I'm so down.
All the cyber dystopia, none of the neon punk flair.
Reminds me of the Hong Kong resistance archers.
I'm still sad about them
What happened?
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.

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.
I don't think short sleeves would feel nice if it's raining.
Umbrella.
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.
Seeing a big ol' "生地" meaning "fabric" or "material" is just kinda goofy looking lol
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....
The pricier the clothes, the more invisible the logos are.

I think those are mid-rich brands. Meanwhile someone like Zuckerberg is wearing t-shirts of a brand of which no one here has heard.
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.

Hey, my brother has those pants.
I have a weird relationship to tech wear. I like it, but it doesn't really match my style. And Fabric of the Universe charges crazy shipping to Europe.
This outfit looks functional but i would argue that in fact it isn't, it doesn't really serve a purpose other than look cool which means that once it stop being cool it ends up in a trash can.
They're clothes. What other function do you want them to perform?
Protection from the environment and providing accessible storage space mostly
My clothes often serve as cat beds.
Ahh, mine serve as carpets.
I want my clothes to do my taxes.
this outfit is clearly designed after tactical/waterproof gear, i believe you wouldn't want to actually use it for that purpose
Like, in Minneapolis, or other places?
But it looks like repurposed reusable grocery bags and it would snag on every doorknob.
Also those shoes for whatever reason look like bags roughly toed to feet because you couldn't afford shoes. This shit does not look comfy.
The shoes are always the part of 'streetwear' that make me roll my eyes. Even more than the ridiculous bag pockets, they always seem to be going for the I'm-going-to-fall-out-of-these-or-spend-an-hour-putting-them-on style.
hightop shoes are incredibly comfy and you won't fall out, these look like an even more wearable version of air max 720s so I don't see a problem
One shoe has a orange tag and the other has a red one, so you can't mistake, so there's that.
hightop anything is comfy, fight me. like even skating shoes (d3h for example) are awesome, they feel like cushy slippers if you like that kind of sole
Yeah yeah then the hot snakes start coming and you're clink clanking your way to the shitter dropping spaghetti everywhere
No thank you
I prefer freeballing a kilt for this exact reason
That's a brand new sentence it if ever heard one!
Pockets that low on my knees would drive me nuts.
Dress for the cyberpunk dystopia you want, not the one you have!
My goal is to have all my clothes be various shades of near-black gray. But relatives keep gifting me clothes of assorted colors, and I'm too poor not to wear those. Thankfully I have at least steered the folks in the direction of mostly gray and, bafflingly, swamp green.
Dude...this was GenX in the 90s.
Looks like something Nerdforge would wear.
.
I want this with bright neon yellow highlights.
I coild be the Cyberpunk edition of the Beverly Hills Ninja.
I had this exact jacket in my cart for months, but damn, why machine 56 gotta be so expensive
And then there's Hamcus prices 😭
That kind of milkshake would bring all the boys to your yard if you catch my drift.
If i was 10 years younger i might. But if i tried that now people would thing im having a breakdown 😅
Make it brown, slightly less pockets, and a bit less floppy, and that's pretty much what I wear during winter.
Seems like a real pain to wash. Hand wash only? Throw everything away and buy new ones?
You can wash Nylon just fine
I swear I saw a band last night that was kitted out like this
Where would you even purchase that
Fabric of the Universe
There are similar brands like Machine56
Also plenty of cheap no-brands on Amazon.
If you're feeling particularly spendy, Acronym and Hamcus.
If I were 20 years younger, I'd be all over this! I feel like as an older dude I would just look silly wearing crop hoodies and cargo pants with way too many pockets and straps.
Why? Seems inconvenient.
Looks like it would be an uncomfortable sensory outfit
I got headphone cords stuck on shit all the time before I got wireless ones. This would be a nightmare!
Its dope, just not my style. I like the thwomp shaped streetwear. Doubling as a stone door is my passion.
That's what I used to wear at cons. Got the mask to glow
I could be dressing like that, but I'd die of heat stroke. I sweat in shorts in a blizzard
Yes please
I don't remember this outfit in AC Shadows
If I made a list of things I could do, that would be on the list.
I could but:
Lmao what hellhole do you recide in that tells you what you can or can't put on your face for no reason?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-mask_law
I never dressed for this.
No darkthrone shirt 0/10
No I coudn't. That seems too uncomfortable but I like how many pocket it has. I like the shoes.
I love this look, but I'm struggling with the intersection of this and age. Frankly, I have no idea what middle-aged-but-not-dead-yet looks like when dressing in a more streetware/cyberpunk savvy way.
Reminds me of this.
