I can say that because I am surrounded by denim all day, everyday, as I work for Levi's. Acronym's non-denim is a nice fresh release from all of that for me.

I don't know where you can see the line in NY, probably nowhere, as ACR is in Munich, and the only way I know you can see all of the stuff is the buyer's only website, which you have to have a password to get access to....sorry, I can't provide it, but I did get a chance to pre-order some stuff through one of the few retailers of ACR (not the Glade). Can't wait until Oct: 2 pairs of pants, a hoody, and a DOPE new jacket.

Acronym is probably my favorite line in a LONG time....

Bond was/is one of the pioneers, no?

Cool people, GREAT corner ("the corner"). Last time I was out there, there were lots of spliffs and beers being had on that corner....

I have seen the pants in person and let me tell you, they are very nice, Epic waterproof cotton....too bad they dont have the new cargo pants up on the glade, they are showing about a third of the line....

Just stayed at Hotel Excellent in Ebisu. Convienient ( right across the street from Ebisu eki), and less than a hundred pounds, I think around 160USD...

Yes, definitely not as good as united, also, it's about what, 4-5 months old. This one is on some Bobby Womack type steez.

The ALIFE 501's also have the screenprinted arcuate...

Historically, the "Big Three" (Levi's/Lee/Wrangler) had a colored warp stitch in the selvedge in order to identify them easier at the mills. Levis=Red, Lee=Green, Wrangler=Yellow

'47 repro 501's

new JP 501's (the ones that Hiroshi's wearing in the new ads)

Fiberops w/ front logo screenprint (thanks for the freebie, Tabo!)

They were NOT only sold in Boston and New York. They were sold at all the Marc Jacobs boutiques. I grabbed the green highs @ Marc Jacobs on Maiden Lane in San Francisco. They may still have pairs left.

I recently went to Cone and got to see all the older fly shuttle looms, that was pretty cool.

Quote: I have also seen some later redline ugly bartack with the circle R tab that are from the old premium line, of which the name escapes me. it was a run in the late 90's, but not Levi's RED

That was REDLINE, the pre-cursor to RED. I have a pair from that line with the same bartacks, and they also have the red tab with the registered logo only.

Recon in NY and SF both carry Acronym, I believe they are the only retailers in the US. Acronym does hold some military contracts for design. I believe he (Errolson) has also done stuff for the SAS and also US military.

I think ACR is the cream of the crop. Just picked up my 4th jacket, and I must say it's lovely, really digging the jacket-sling, quite functional, actually. My favorite is the cashmere/gore tex jacket.

Any new Twomblys for Spring?
