    Imo it's a real trash. Looks like a cheap riot division jacket or some cope techwear Asian brand.

    Also it's - SD. Already wrinkled straight out from the box. 

    What a shame :            (

    Now that you mentioned it, I can’t unsee it.


    My first impression was very nice, now looking at it a few times, don’t like it that much anymore. 😂

    Is the 117 true to size? 

    In my personal humble opinion it’s not. 
    I think it fits kinda oversized or big.
    At least if you look at it as a hoodie. 
    If you look at it like a jacket maybe not. 
    I wear everything XL and a heavy hoodie fit’s easily and it’s still roomy. 
    I like the fit though, but it’s big. 

  3. I understand some people that are into the brand for decades are not feeling everything lately.
    But I also do think for a lot of people it is important that the stuff is exclusive and hard to get.
    I buy Acronym for a few years, but only a few items here and there.
    I never was into the styles that were super slim fit and pants with a super low crotch.
    Therefore the pants from the last few seasons were perfect to me, like the P44 and P46.
    Also the wider versions of the J1's are way better for me then older fits.
    The V91 and J91 are on daily roatation aswell and the Hoodies lately are nice, like the S34 and S31.
    I started skateboarding 1990 and being a teenager of the 90's I really like baggier stuff and I'm kind of big.
    But I always liked the technical aspect and well thought ideas flowing into the garments.

    What I'm trying to say is that people like me that don't look like the role model Acronym tech wear wearer are also liking the brand and the idea behind it, but rocking kind of a differnt style.

    I especially dislike the fit pics of E rocking all this garbage high fashion shoes and jewellery.
    I think that Kiddie girlfriend is the main reason for that, him being at fashion shows getting inspired from uncool brands.
    I think E wants and trys to make Acronym bigger then it should be, and from what I see it's not working.
    The stuff is to expensive for the average customer, retailers are sitting on the stuff and putting it on sale to get rid of it.

    Get in where you fit in comes to mind.

    “M” for the NGs means male zip track. The new NG4 comes with an extra adapter that lets you use it zip into a liner and not just shells as previously. They’re one size, if you got one you’d be fine

    Thanks for the fast reply and information. 
    That’s good to know, so I think I’ll take the new one, zipping it into a liner is definitely helpful sometimes.

    2400 EUR jacket or 1200 EUR pants is in Louis Vuitton territory, and you should expect the highest quality possible (or at least on par with 400EUR Arcteryx Jacket). Yet you're here defending tags that are peeling off or crooked stitching on an item that was produced in a factory that pays 1/4 of the item's price to its workers. Few years back, Errolson answered someones question on Twitter about new prices. He basically stated that they want to pay competitive European salaries (which is great). Yet since they moved production to China, I haven't seen any slowdown in price increases, only a decline in quality. Also, I don't think that acronym hitting sales is a good thing in the long run. There was a perfect balance between scarcity and price, but nowadays nobody wants even the J28GT, which sold out in 7 minutes back in 2017. Increasing the price and quantity at the same time feels counterintuitive to me.

    Totally agreed.

    Thanks for all the input from other members, good to see I'm not the only one bothering.
    Whoever said that the price is alright with a 50% markdown, I agree, but thats not the retail price and not every piece is available with a 50 percent discount every season in every size.
    So that point is not really valid. And especially retailers in Europe and Germany are waiting forever to disount Acronym and they normally start with like 20 percent, these stingy stores.

    Apparently, Covid lockdown in the China factory is causing delays for shipping

    I own some older pieces and some newer stuff.

    How do people feel about stuff now being made mainly in China and pricing is going rather up then down?
    I really like Acronym, but lately I sometimes can't justify the prices anymore.
    For example the J91-WS for 1100€ has YKK plastic zippers, they feel really cheap and I'm not sure how long these will hold up.
    It's never been cheap, but if I see some Shadow pieces I own, quality is really awesome and Made in Italy.
    Just feels better in my opinion if it's made in the EU.

    I think it would be cool if Errolosn would show a little transparency and let people know where the stuff is made exactly.
    If the workers get paid well and the working conditions are good, that means a lot me.

  7. Hi Fellas.

    I´m new here and got a question to all of yours. I´m from europe, I want one of these Stripe Full Zippers from the Supreme collection 08. I prefer the grey one, but I only can get the black or beige one.

    Is somebody out there got one, maybe a good picture of it or wearing it, black or beige one?

    And I also can get a flags hoodie, but in all black, what do you think of this one...???

    Please help I can´t decide, the black one is a little boring the beige one maybe has to much colors, the flags hoodie?, I only saw them on pics...

    Thanks
