Tracksuit Mercer Black, een tech suit van Project 86 Men

What is a tech suit? Tech suit vs tracksuit explained

What a tech suit is (not the swimming kind), how it differs from a tracksuit, and which models Project 86 Men offers.

In menswear, a tech suit is a two-piece set of top and trousers in a technical fabric, made to look smart and feel comfortable. It is not the same as a tech suit for swimming. A tracksuit is a two-piece set made for sport and leisure. The difference is the fabric and the look: a tech suit looks sharper and also works away from the gym.
