might be worth to create group sell thread on acr (there is visvim one), what?

Done!

SOLD  FS: Acronym SET-4 from SS11, X-J13 jacket size XL

Feel free to post your ACRONYM offerings, WTBs, and WTTs in this thread.

Based on the Community's comments since this thread launched, here are some suggested posting protocols:

Remember to post the size of garments you're selling, offering for trade, or wishing to buy. Actual measurements, too, if you have access to analog measuring technology. Pit-to-pit on coats and waist & inseam on trousers are always helpful.

Never hurts to specify which country you're in, how you prefer to pay or be paid, which carriers you prefer...

Links to your Acronym offerings on Grailed, eBay, Yahoo Antarctica, etc. are perfectly welcome.

Posting items for sale without a price and photos will result you in a warning and a temporary ban, same goes to Interest Check’s.

Could Hanon have not found a model who actually fit the jackets?

In Aberdeen? They're lucky to have found one who could stand unaided! *runs*

Just noticed there's no gravity pockets.

That's because Errolson believes one should carry one's knife or smartphone in one's hand during summer, just like Daniel Boone.

Okay, no. It's because Errolson is a ninja and can repeal the laws of gravity at will. Which he typically does during bikini season.

The, ah, thing I've got on pre-order for FW1314 has two friggin' gravity pockets, though, so the feature persists within the line.

rocky has far more confidence in his style and looks more natural in ACR than any of the awkward otakus in this thread.

"Awkward otaku?" Excuse me. I am a ninja.

The trick to washing Gore-Tex and other membrane shells is the soap one uses. If you used Granger's or similar "sport wash" in a bucket, you oughta be okay. Regular detergent laundry soaps, though, tend to encourage water permeability in the wrong direction, on permeable membrane cloths.

The speed at which the Supermarket turns over, plus the unreliablity of the search function, plus the amount of traffic this thread gets, all would tend to justify a dedicated sales thread for such a popular niche line. I'd tattoo the link to it on my inner eyelids.

Can totally see that printed on silk. It'd look edible.

"If we do not receive your down payment within this time frame, you will be terminated by vat-grown ninjas wearing an infinite variety of coats."

Sometimes, the dream infests reality.

No one gets in and out of a coat faster.

@SuE: They have for some of them. I bought Acronym from them at 20% off, in a sale they had just before Xmas.

Haven have generally brought in rather daring quantities of Acronym. They prune their listings to remove items that sell out in all sizes, so it doesn't look like they have much at present, but I recall they had 2-1/2 or 3 pages of the stuff back around October. (They still have more on that page than Concrete's Amsterdam location had on their racks in December.) It's been a good mix of bags, 3A add-ons, and clothes since I began looking at their site a few years ago, but that'll obviously change since the bags have now gone all mother ship webstore. Can't wait to see what they bought from SS13, though.

Their return policy is ruthless, but they're otherwise very competent and flexible people to deal with, in my experience. They also have some nice storewide sales from time to time.

So new 3rd Arm, if there is any, will simply appear on the store site? (And thanks for the intel.)

No, it puzzled me, briefly, too, but then I just rationalised it as "every year brings a different cascade of new ideas." Sometimes, you have the energy to flail your arms wildly and change the world around you. And other times, you're more focused on choosing just the right font for the name painted on your letterbox. And sometimes, life gets in the way.

I'm actually kind of glad their offerings are so unpredictable. Not that I wouldn't have mass-ordered a 3A-3TSA with a bright white vinyl interior, had such a thing popped up from the cracks.

Is that one of the unobtainable Dyneema shoelaces from the unmentionable SS12 collab with McNairy? If so, I believe you have won the thread. Drop by the lobby during business hours to collect your prize.

Will now go fashion a new liner for my 8TS using foil from the Apollo 11 lunar lander and vintage duct tape.

Search feature won't look for words this short, so have to ask: Anyone ever get the SET-1/2/3/4 thingies from SS11? If so, wondering if anyone's ever re-purposed the neat little 3A-SA and 3A-SB foldups they came in.

I think it'd work in the back of a cube van, in Kansas. But only in Kansas. Also realising that I'm gonna need daily haircuts to wear his clothes. I've been doing it wrong.

In seriousness, will be nice to see how some of this stuff looks on people, six months from now. I think a couple of pieces are just about foolproof, if one has the right build and nails the measurement guesstimate sweepstakes. And by foolproof, I mean they'll get you comped drinks and followed by pornographic action-film casting agents.

Indeed.

Small, but fairly focused bunch of stuff. Love the radioactive Louboutins he's wearing in the first series of pictures.

Wish there was a bit more swimwear.

The new ones at least have the appropriate 25mm buckles at the back bottom corners. But yeah, where's the strap?

Rig a waist strap for it, like the lower strap on this 3A-8TS.

Suitable webbing & buckles available at most hiking shops. Snap it into the lowest row of MOLLE, at each end, and run it around the back. It may look a little butch, but it'll do the job.

ERMAHGERD PANTSUITS

Because the Sterberks grande-sized cupholders would tear out at the rivets.

Just a little, yeah. Frankly, the children's wear is a surprise. I hope the Polyant picnic basket isn't just a placeholder, though. And the KR-ST1 appear to be cashmere thigh-highs. Wish I could tell if the garter hardware is Fidlock or Kompression buckles.

...being a blazer cut it's a little difficult to wear it as a layer underneath a gore ACR jacket unless it's a trenchcoat.

Yup, definitely need a trench-like cut to cover it, if one intends to not use it as the outer layer. It's longish. Most hardshells, Acronym or otherwise, will be cut shorter.
