if MIC i really really hope it restocks like the j1a did

i dunno why but my gut says this is restocking

fuuuuuu. like @sureal said, the removable jersey cuff really twists the knife. it's just what I wanted!! and only 1036 euro? I wonder if this is the first MIC trouser.

anyone know the exact nylon webbing ACR uses on their P17s?  Link me please

I'm guessing but I believe this is the supplier: https://www.gueth-wolf.de/unternehmen/

It was mentioned in the ACR thread not too long ago

anyone selling pants size M or L (maybe XL depending on the cut) for reasonable prices? DS/CH strongly preferred as all my acr trousers are stotz.

also looking to buy J68-S in M or maybe L

I am not looking for much so don't hesitate to try me on the price

I'm ready to get rid of this for as little as $700 USD. Or trade it + my cash for a medium J68-S in black.

anyone have interest in an aitor throup x stone island bomber? the silver one. I got this from a collector but I don't think the fit and colour suit me well. It's tagged L, but profile M fit.

I saw on IG that the P31-DS will be restocking. Maybe some other items will too?

I was hoping to splurge this season for the raf body/black sleeve J36-S but I was way too late. I wonder if it even made it past the pre-order phase? 

J67-FO looks really nice. An Acronym jacket in this material is a must-have. I wish my J59TS-CH had that new secondary entry for the chest pocket. J68-WS is priced nicely! And finally I'm surprised the cape is still in stock.

Edit: Raf/Black XL is in stock

I can't tell if I like the glasses or the photography. Either way, I don't think I would _ever_ buy eyewear that I can't try on.

I'm disappointed the case is not 3a. Perhaps not useful for attaching to bags but certainly useful for some of the jackets and trousers. I'm impressed the eyewear is fully under the Acronym brand and not a colab like with 3a and bag jack. I could be mistaken. 

Big ups to Ian for accomplishing both the shot and the music. I wish we got a longer video!

I gotta know more about that backpack.

I'll take some measurements later tonight. I actually worked for G-Star a while and you do not wanna know how many times entire product series have been out of spec.

Unfortunately it's a bit to slim for me so I'm gonna sell it. 

you'll have to entertain us and explain how that happens. is it just straight up mistake(s)?

Just received my J36-S, I must say look & feel is great but the fit seems to be smaller than usual.

Could it be that size-wise it is out of spec but they choose to sell it anyway? Is the J76-GT also smaller compared to other jackets?

Maybe it's just me being nit picky. Bobs your uncle.

 

if you measure your j36, does it match what's posted on the acrnm website? it seems like a lot of ppl are having issues with the sizing.

I found that paclite was easier to keep clean as well. Unlike goretex pro, paclite is easy to spot-clean. The outer is a deeper black too if I'm remembering correctly..

Just received my shipping notice for the J36-S; got it in black, and I’m excited.

It might be time for someone to repost the classic US import post that gets trotted out every season...

But I’m wondering what the experience has been for people in Canada when it comes to recent imports. What’s am I going to end up paying?

For Canadians, there should be no extra taxes fees to pay upon delivery for MIE items. If It's MIC, you'll pay _a lot_ extra. A few hundred at least...

Now I’m really glad I didn’t get this j36 

wait, why?

It really sucks, I really wish they would mention where the garment is made, and not just the fabric specifications. 

I'd like to know too. Hopefully people here who bought stuff can eventually chime-in. Unfortunately it is acceptable for people to buy things without knowing the final cost. Not a jab at Acronym rather just western culture in general where you've always had to calculate the sales tax yourself. Don't get me started on tipping.

I get the impression that it's too early for anything other than the new J1-A to be MIC, but I wouldn't be too surprised if some of these new trousers were.

P32 is a nice cut. i love the contrast of (what looks like) the goretex infinium hood on the j36.

WTS

J46-FO, medium, black 9/10 w bag, sheet, and tags. $1600 shipped conus. 

I love mine. It might be my favourite Acronym purchase to date.

Just sit back and enjoy the fact that you are actually able to buy the stuff because there will be higher quantities.

I think this is the big thing. People like myself who don't mind buying second-hand are probably going to have it way better over the next few years.

The part I was getting at is that Erlsn's created a lifestyle brand of progressive, forward thinking, high tech. China's known for cheap labor, human rights violations, and extremely poor working conditions. How does he reconcile that? With higher prices? His Twitter defense is disingenuous at best. If he just said we toured this factory and it's great, they have a break room and the workers are happy then cool. But he's just saying I'm Chinese, which is cool but bro you were born in Canada and live in Germany. I don't know, some sort of justification besides 'then don't buy it' is what I was looking for from him instead of just being ad hom defensive.

There's nothing to justify. You don't know a single thing about the factory the products are being made in.

I think having to announce it up-front or reveal it would have further insinuated any negative connotations about Chinese mfg. It just isn't relevant. If manufacturing of a certain item moved from say, Portugal to France, I don't think people would be complaining about not knowing about it. Some people like myself will be affected differently by taxes, but whatever lol.

Chinese mfg is Acronym at its core. It throws industry trends and norms out the window. That "Made in China" tag will be a punch in the gut to anyone who was buying the clothes as status symbols. 

Did people already forget every J63A-FO had to be recalled for a mfg defect?

should've known something was up when the retail wasn't 2,000+ euro lol

Just got off the phone with UPS because i was wondering why there was a ridiculous duty charge on my J1A-GT coming into Canada. I mentioned to the rep that the garment should be made and shipped from EU and the duties should be significantly less. He then tells me the package states that the garments are MADE IN CHINA and not EU. I have emailed Acronym to confirm if this is true. Will update here.

how bad was the charge? i was cool with the price on it thinking I was going to get away with no duties like my last purchase direct from acrnm.com.

The latest discussions on fakes is seriously discouraging. Regardless of how close to the authentic items they may become, fakes are something I personally would never want to purchase. No disrespect to anyone who buys them as beaters. 

I'm not even sure what would be the smoking gun to prove authenticity of any of these garments. At least the ones worth copying from the perspective of a producer of fakes. A forwarded email of the order receipt maybe? Even that seems pretty trivial to fake or to simply not be representative of the item(s) sold. If you like to shop second-hand you'll need to start establishing solid relationships with some folks here, shoutouts to @xumatrix.

PayPal will always fuck you on the exchange.

If you want no fucking:

Go into your PayPal settings and change it so your bank sets the exchange rate. Your bank will keep track of the daily exchange rate and it will adjust it per each transaction. 

well you first have to get fucked by wasting 20 minutes trying to find where to do this because of dark UI patterns. youll need to google how to do this.

new j1a is amazing. was p30a-ds also for sale? looks like they took it off the site.
