This tactical pocket-sweater sold for a nifty 1305 USD; seems like the fashion trends are going to catch up to our tech pretty soon.

I agree, but only when you want to maintain a low profile, if people subconsciously remember you for use unusual clothings then when you change it even your mother have a strugle to recognize you, if you want to go a bit further, alittle bit of make up, maybe a shave, and voila.

Heh, as boring as this style sounds I'm inclined to agree. Every time I go out it's always in low key brandless clothes, neutral colors and such.

Talking about actions, a real "cyberpunk attire" should have something useful for a techie guy, like conducts to hide wires or faraday shielded pockets, less about aesthetics and more about functionality, any idea in addition to the mentioned.

Stuff like special pockets for phones or whatever seem to work out fine, but it's generally a pain to deal with headphone cords and such even when the item of clothing is built to accommodate them. Only time I've ever seen that work out was a shitty hoodie a friend had with built-in headphones, and even that eventually broke.

The "punk" aspect comes from "beign against of/rebellious". Don't diy shit, it takes time to not make it not look like a costume. You want that brouzouf and time to advocate to whatever you're working at right now.
The rest I guess it depends on your taste. You can go 80's futuristic neon ninja with pockets in the ass. Or get brandless sport clothes with some jeans and a leather jacket, to properly blend with the rest of the population. You don't want to be reconized, look what is commonly used where you live. That's why I sugest the jacket and jeans, if you go full sport, then you'll be "the sports dude".
Whatever you pick, a backpack is the best thing. If you go ninja, have all the pockets outside.
For the security aspect, saddly, the best weapon is yourself. No drone or warning light will compare to a trained mind and a powerfull fist. Maybe blending in the crown and avoiding dark alleys or the night at all is safer, but you do you.
Reducing the amount of info about you is a big aspect for me. If you look average, don't own pets and don't have/update any social media, then you're clean (until you hack a big corporation from their roof or install an artistic techy thing on the street). It's about what is under the hood, and there it should only be an abyss that stares back at you. Something, but not who.

You guys ever consider fire resistant clothing? The US military Nomex flight jackets is the most cyberpunk FR outerwear I can find and they're probably more practical than workwear for riding a bike. However they're $300-400 used for some reason which is weird because most milsurp jackets are like $50 at the most. Are there any knockoffs that are still fire resistant?

When I look for "cyberpunk" clothing, I keep in mind that it must be:
>Comfortable
So I can sit around a lot wearing it, whether getting high, spending long periods of time at a computer, or just going about my day to day. Breathable fabrics for tops and pants are preferable for this.
>Flexible
I should be able to go for a run if I feel like it, or move around in VR, or do parkour, or get into a fight, or anything else active that might seem a good idea at any time.
>Durable
Rugged hiking, military, or motorcycle gear can be part of it, if it works with the outfit. Leather, canvas, etc, so long as it is also practical.
>Useful
I should be able to carry things without needing extra straps and things. Good strong pockets, maybe places to clip a microphone, or holster a firearm, or secret away a flash drive or drugs or a knife, Pockets, zippers, strong stitching, etc.
>Future-forward
Cool new fabrics or coatings, maybe a bit of smart fabrics or moisture wicking fabrics, maybe even the use of integrated electronics or conductive thread, some nice design, geometric detailing, something else that's really more style over function, maybe new design ideas that give me a practical reason to wear the item of clothing.
Personally I find that most commonly miitary-inspired clothing works to serve most of these purposes, and the rest can usually be fulfilled by accessories…smart watches, jewellery, bracers, etc.

Cyberpunk is both of these things. The gutterpunk exists in tension with the billionaire, because the genre has a firm stance on wealth inequality (it's bad and it's getting away from us.)
It's off-base to say that rich IT bros aren't cyberpunk, but it's totally correct to say that cyberpunk is critical of rich IT bros.

Pretty much. Sometimes it's nice to have bits of tech integrated into clothing….maybe some way of temperature regulation, maybe something you can turn on and off to jam cellphone signals or set up a static field, whatever, but if it isn't practical there's no reason to have it.

There are tons of Anti-serveilance clothing options including clothing with false license plates to confuse automatic plate readers, and clothing that confuses facial recognition devices. These are extremely punk, and definitely /cyber/ but a little to much edge for me.

We already live in a cyberpunk future, its just a boring one
Those books and tabletop games that started this were done mostly by people who didnt know shit about computers or the att nascent internet, afaik only the author of snowcrash was in IT, neuromancer was written on a fucking typewriter even when people were already using computers to write shit. That book was hugely influential in the scene despite being a complete LARP.
Back to the point
>I have a fantasy that, instead, people will making zines, and meshnets, and piratebox networks, and personal radio stations, or whatever.
Tons of people are already doing that, tho less than before, why? because the FOSS community got coopted/cucked by big corps putting their employees there, see the cunt that got Linus kicked out from the very OS he created, same cunt who wanted to add a piece of msft spyware on linux, a cunt employed by msft, what a coincidence
As I said we live in a boring version of cyberpunk: megacorps do exist but they dont have to spy on anybody because people literally hand over their data for free. Spiderbots with cameras? why if normalfaags pay for the privilege of having a camera doorbell connected to corporate servers and streaming 24/7? or indoors cameras doing the same? normalfaags pay for smart speakers, literally a bunch of microphones recording what you do
Lots of those guys in the DIY scene buy into this shit, they build shit to work with alexa instead of helping the mycroft project which is a FOSS AI, they contribute to corporate tools like react and unreal and tons more instead of libre software
Hackers? you got some groups in the former soviet blocs, they are 100% owned and supported by local mafias and do nothing but run small ramsomware scams to z-list companies and government agencies, sometimes to normalfaags who cant afford backups or proper security. Much easier than going against the big corps and governments that will put a bullet between their eyes for fucking with them, assuming they even get pass their firewalls.
There are no augments just alpha implants like neuralink that might trigger a grandmal and fucking kill you. Robots are little more than roombas shifting through warehouses, glorified RC helicopters and the like. You're more likely to get killed by an overweight cop guard than a corporate killbot, unless you live in some warzone in which case its not you running away from some terminator but getting a missile from a drone powered by a lawnmower engine flying so high up you cant even see it.
Then theres the great reset, a consortium of billonaires basically saying you wont be able to own shit and will have to rent everything, a return to feudalism really, and normalfaags are okay with this. Even in cyberpunk novels the majority of the people were against the system even if too poor to do anything about it, but now we welcome corporate dystopia with likes and retweets
Its all so lame, so fucking lame

I'd rather steal one of those jackets and gut it to know exactly how the tech works so I can get rid of the shit that connects to your smartphone and just rebuild it into a more comfortable tactical vest or jacket and put the plans online for whoever the fuck else is interested in it. Winters get fucking cold here in Canada and I can see the tech being of use to people who have to work outdoors or in variable environments. Construction workers, repairmen, soldiers, security guards, etc.
But nobody in their right mind is going to pay for that fucking garbage and the trend of connecting everything to your phone is mindbogglingly retarded to me. Put a fucking button or dial on it.

Yeah, I love that book. Need to read it again soon, but you're right. It reads like how a boomer would imagine 'hacking'
in the future to look like. The descriptions and the atmosphere is top notch, but the cyberspace portions have more in common with fantasy than with science fiction. Fascinating to think that this book got the cyberpunk genre rolling. But I believe it has more to do with the societal trends of the 80s, which the author magnificently extrapolated on.
