Buying things second hand has sucked since grailed came on the scene and social media took over. I remember when sufu and other forums were actual communities and we were passing cool shit onto each other not for a profit or because it’s “archive” or whatever cringey thing. People didn’t flip things as much for insane prices because only a small subset of people were even interested in what they were selling in the first place. I make like 90% of my purchases through retail nowadays and if I can’t get it due to timing/bots/whatever then I chalk it up to being not meant to be lol. Of course there’s the missing piece or 2 floating out there that I itch for but I also got kinda tired of the hunt. I’d rather put my energy into other pursuits and be happy with what I have.

Hello everyone! Some beautiful jeans in this contest. Honestly, these are the best, most widespread quality pairs I think I've ever seen in a contest. Well done, folks. Mine were sent off to Self Edge for a second round of repairs today. I took some update pics after the wash.

A bat shat on me the other day while walking my dog, and I had to wash them just two days after the monthly wash lol. Anyways, here’s a (clean) update -

Just picked up a pair of Type-S I ordered in August, absolutely blown away! I chose the 13oz Kiyama denim, which is unlike anything I have felt. So much texture without being in-your-face. I have never even seen a horizontal sub in this effect! Echigoya-San’s studio is not too far from me in Brooklyn, and he was kind enough to let me pick up the jeans in person and visit his studio. He even showed me a sample of a new jacket style he is working on, and some cool other small projects he has in the works. Such a neat experience and couldn’t be more thrilled with the jeans! went with my true size 32, after a hot wash and air dry

Hello everyone! here's a little update... the first 2 pictures are before washing and the next 2 are after the wash. I also had to repair a couple of holes on the knee, thigh and back pocket!

Kapital / Kapital / UES / TCB / Tricker's

Anyone else feel like the second hand market for ACR has been in a rut? For a couple of years now grailed has just been a repository of previous season hype pieces being flipped and staple pieces sitting forever for retail prices, there is essentially zero supply of older pieces being passed on (probably because by now everyone who has pre-2018 acr loves that time period and won't part with it) and ebay has become essentially irrelevant. Even the sufu CST, while it has a lot of productive community members, is 90% last year's items from people who can't or don't want to return. I think the last time i was truly enthused about the brand was when hanon was doing their archive sale.

Here are some pics of my blanket lined type 1. Hot washed a few times early doors to shrink up, prior to any decent fades setting in but I like it.

Here are my pair in standard denim and me jacket

I have no idea how long I've worn them for because I only tend to wear pre 20s denim in the summer. I've worn them a lot though so it's probaby 5-6 months. They crock a lot for natural denim. Way more than my SDA. It's my favourtie of any natural indigo denim, and I think my favourite of any Cone. It's always been a very royal blue, but the amount of texture in the fabric is gorgeous without being too obviously slubby. These have had a hand wash followed by a machine wash and spin. I've reverted to spinning inside out after a horrible-looking recent wash with my TCB 40s. There's a similarity with the other early fabrics in that they get large, smooth areas of wear but there is more whiskering here than other 1800s-style Cone. My three-pleat jacket needs a wash too, and is looking very good but it wasnt sunny enough to line-dry from wet and I can't face it shrinking again. From a distance these look quite similar to, say, my 47 and 55 but they're very different close-up. A good amount of leg twist. So often, LVC jeans don't get dramatic traintracks (although I would point out that traintracks for some reason seem more common on 70s jeans than earlier ones). But these have pretty good train tracks, too. I cannot explain why the whisters and fading are so assymetrical. Perhaps a peculiarity of the PT physique? Not happened before though, maybe I'm becoming irregularly stooped with my advancing years. For me, these 1880s ran among my very favourite LVC. So sad that we've lost all the love and expertise that went into Cone denim, but this is a fine pair of jeans to remember them by. Plus I have a big roll of their indigo cotton duck that I have to get made into someting soon....

My new HW Dog hat came in. It was hard finding the navy color because it’s sold out almost everywhere except Canvas.

Erlsn would say it's more acrnm to be unenthused. Also, there's a JP shop with some bits of the retail drop: https://www.urban-research.jp/products/list.php?brand=ACRONYM Has some pretty convincing product shots of the P41-DS, for me at least.

^ worthy of the full 30s text for it... a lined version?

Plus also new in is the type 743 wool pattern pullover I've had my eye on this for a while... looks great in pics and is just wow in the hand... It featured further up in the thread... @oomslokop @JDelage have it as well iirc, maybe with some wear in theirs now
