because it's been done to death by the dirty hippies, then again by millenial GWOT bro-vets, and now being double-ironically redone by zoomer twinks who never wielded anything more dangerous than their own dicks.

The real avant-garde is to military-min-max. Actual GI gear is made by the lowest bidder to a loose spec, and it's a lottery whether any one procurement request will actually produce a good item, or a piece of trash. High-speed gear is, at best, made to a high standard for a very specific usecase that you, a civilian, will never encounter in your life. That is if it's not tacticool hypebeast trash for flat range ninjas.

There is, however, a sliver of the market where high-speed meets casual. It's either "covert operations" gear, made to high-speed standards of build quality and capability, but made to look unremarkable and casual; or it's some kind of brand merch like tube scarves or waistbags made by real tactical gear companies with same materials and processes and a large helping of whimsy. The real fashion statement is blending 90% of the first for an understated, functional outfit with 10% of the latter for subtle in-group signaling and\or scaring the hoes, should the need arise.
