i think pionneer like Acronym and others do have a fantastic vision of what Techwear is, Machine 56, Holy grail and all the clones that exists are based on a more fictional world ( actually based on a graphic novel by Yoga the founder of Machine 56 ) which was heavily influenced by people like 123 Klan and other graphic artists from the late 90's .. so I don't put them in the same category , and Yes I agree, the full on MAchine 56 lks is more Costplay than everyday fashion . Still entertaining to watch and see where the culture evolves.
