    Foldable caps, Y3 have done a couple in the past and while they're hard to find as oldstock now, it's well worth keeping an eye open - If you image search 'Y3 Cap Foldable', the version with the extra ridge of fabric on the brim has been my go-to cap to put in my sling bag for the past couple years. . Can't be doing with regular ballcaps that have the squatchee button on top, give me a smooth cap any day.
    Also speaking of Y3 accessories, Johnny Thai had a Y3 bandana on in one of his recent videos and I had totally forgotten about buying a black and a white version super cheap in the sales last year, so I wore one yesterday while out for the day, got that desperado look going on :)

      Helikon-Tex and 5.11 does make foldable caps...however since it is a tactical brand..it does have the velcro panels..so that could be a dealbreaker for some..

    Speaking on paracord, you can actually use paracord to braid your own zipper pull tabs since you complained about how noisy and jangly the zipper was on the triangle pouch.
    I do this on most of my jacket, hoodie and bag zippers. You can even make a large loop that stays open so its easy to grasp even with gloves on or from awkward angles.

  • @zebraloverbridget

    Those little pouches are perfect for carrying treats for my service dog. So thanks for making the thumbnail feature them
    I used to use a cane pouch until it finally came apart too much to be able to repair it, and now I have a little camera accessory bag that works fairly well but it is a bit larger than needed. Still way smaller than the bags sold for dog treats since those are fanny pack size.
    As for buying you own buckles and webbing instead of pre-assembled stuff, you need to be careful when buying the webbing or at least set your expectations low. I've found that the webbing that is commercially available in reasonable amounts tends to be lower quality than the stuff that factories source. They're still plenty strong but the finish on the weave is less flat and easier to snag on stuff. Which is fine if it will be inside of a fabric tube, but can look and feel cheap when used on its own.
    What is worse is that it is hard to tell what the exact finish will look like when buying online so you only really know once it arrives. Other colors may be easier to tell the quality of but black is the worse offender.

    Dang Ant, this has been me buying stuff the last two weeks. Got a bucket load of carabiners of diff colors, shapes, and sizes from Amazon for about 10US, have also been doing the braided paracord dangly thing for about a year. (many technical shoes come with paracord laces, and an extra different set of laces in a different color.. I started by using those.) Orbit Gear has been doing 'secret deep links' the last couple weeks and a few were for a bunch of diff mod pouches, I grabbed three very different ones for about 50US and they're all.... well you how much work goes into orbit's bags. Using the molle webbing that is built into Riot Division's older fid lock belts I can make a 'utility belt' that is really a dope modular bag. Great when the heat is so much that even that over the shoulder strap is sweaty... also works super tight with Hamcus style fits. And using an extra Orbit bag strap those pouches can be turned into a very unique looking technical bag too. Great ideas Ant! (also you can rock that chain, you got it)

    Great video! Military surplus are really good options since some of them can be pretty cheap (not even just accessories, even the boots are affordable). I've also just bought a very flat sacoche from a brand called Doughnut at the reduced price of ~22usd - black and white X-pak, waterproof zipper, just a few pockets, good enough for a small notebook or just technical sanitizer and snacks (just too small for A5 though, so no reading regular books on the go, boo).
    And speaking of Casios, I've actually modded a Casio Royale for myself! Just some colour filter sheet cutouts for the watch face, some nail polish remover to yeet the printed text, and a few NFC tags stuck inside the watch and watch strap, and I can now Rickroll on demand with NFC. Fun, cheap, and looks unique - because it is.

    Great video, lots of cool stuff!
    I do have to tell you tho, when you showed your keys @ 7:39, that is essentially the same as sharing your password and it is enough information for someone to make a copy of them.
    I wouldn't worry too much about it, since it does take some investment (time and money), and obviously people would have to know where to use the keys if they did make them, but, in general it is bad practice to show the teeth, dimples, or even the numbers/markings on keys.

    For summer hats, I recommend the Canadian brand Tilley. Sustainably made from recycled materials, all of them protect from the sun (50 SPF) and are either waterproof or water-resistant. Best of all, the hats are super resistant, can be thrown in the wash and come out like new. If they suffer from your hardcore lifestyle, don't worry, once purchased, the hat is guaranteed for life! Tilley has HQ in the UK, so repairs and returns are a breeze. Light Sun hats are around £50, so not cheap, but everything considered I say they are quite a bargain

      I got a pair of pants from them and they´re not too bad quality and finish wise. Lots of detailing with two ways of altering the fit so they seem to have a nice way of giving you options in how to wear them. Another example is that a lot of their jackets seem to have loops built in on the inside so you can wear them hanging of from your shoulders like a backpack if you know what I mean? Cool brand!

    I happen to love that you’re also opening up to some clip-on/MOLLE/PALS attachable pouches that are inexpensive, and affordable for everyone to get creative with in terms of customization, and same goes for the 550D paracord. As I do intend to use the paracord for bracelets, or something useful like shoelaces (yes, very helpful), I intend on getting a sling messenger bag that has MOLLE webbing, not as wide as yours but has a nice velcro panel that’s likely a 2x4, good for any patches you can slap onto.
    Also, since you and others have issues with the zippers being loud, especially for the cheap, the micro paracord (about 1-2mm thick) being looped through the two holes of the zipper handle and the knot being tied at the end (and most importantly, leaving 2mm of excess paracord after cutting off the rest and burning the exposed part with a lighter for a bit, and pressed something to secure it) would help silence the rattling sound, but also serves as a gripping point as well, very helpful if your hands are sweaty or if they got wet from the rain. Leaving my 2 cents here. :)

    Gave the video of like (of course), but NOT for more Ali express or Amazon cheap products. I appreciate we all want more bang for our buck, especially nowadays, but sacrificing ethics for economics seems antithetical with some the arguments you use in defense of techwear (buy one good quality item to last long). So the like is for more DIY projects! Unique, affordable and great! More creativity, less supporting inhumane conglomerates !
    All love and support from Belgium as always

    • @ThisIsAntwon
      @ThisIsAntwon  2 роки тому +3

      I cover pretty much anything 'techwear' on the channel - sometimes that includes premium-priced luxury stuff (I've covered Acronym twice in the last month for example), sometimes it includes extremely cheap stuff. I didn't really talk about the downsides of buying from those types of retailers in a more general sense (which I have done in previous videos) but I think I was clear enough in showing the super-cheap accessories aren't going to blow you away in terms of what they have to offer, but their size helps mitigate that. If I were purchasing from AliExpress I'd sooner buy these very small items than more significant ones like jackets and cargos (which we've looked at in more detail in previous weeks).
      Totally cool if you're not interested in the cheap stuff (in which case I have a lot of other more appropriate content) but what I choose to cover has nothing to do with 'stooping low' or suchlike. Would you take the same view of a car reviewer covering affordable cars as well as supercars? Or a tech reviewer covering midrange Android phones as well as the latest iPhone?
