  1. Are you looking for a Gore-tex ball cap? Given your wardrobe, I'm surprised you don't just stick with (what I'm assuming) any one of your hooded shells....

    you're right but there are a lot of great urban techwear jackets without a hood, just thinking about what is possible with a wr/wp hat/cap

  2. What styles do you wear? There are some waterproof cotton/ventile, wool, and goretex hats but they aren't to everyone's tastes

    my wardrobe is essentially composed of acronym garments with outlier merino tees + veilance insulators + nike sfb...

  3. Next products are

    http://www.acrnm.com/collections/hardshell/products/j38-lp

    http://www.acrnm.com/collections/_softshell/products/j38-s

     

    I assume there will be more than this in the FW13-14 drop?

    I don't know if I should grab one of these or wait for more options in two weeks! 

     

    EDIT: Bought the J38-S anyway! I have no self control! 

     

     

    yes, it will be impossible to grab all and very difficult to choose between j38-s, j38-lp, j32-gt or j36-gt...and haven't the time to look in details to the j34-gtpl or if there are more to come ;)

  4. new New OGs. pockets flaring, here 30's and 31's. what do? is this fucking normal? the ultralights don't act like this.

     

    i had the same issue, it seems that they are some newog variations that behave like that, "elephant ears side pockets"

    i sell a slate gray new og that have the good pockets (pm me if interested)

     

     

    and just to say, outlier ultrafine merino tee are awesome, the best tees i ever have

  5. I've got the ch-j3b in black... Been amazing so far, I thought it would have faded more due to the hand feel softness of the face, but it's maintained it's color and feel perfectly.

    Great

    Just wonder if the jacket and pants ss13 wb400 fabrics are exactly is the same.

     

    with the p11-ch:

    the acr tag reads "50%PES 23%CO 17% CU9%PA 1%EL

    and the schoeller tag reads "44% Nylon 38% Polyester 11% Polyurethan 7% Elasthan"

     

    i think the schoeller tag is the good one (and i am happy with that) because of the stretch (1% shouldn't be enough) and so it seems there is no cotton in the "wb400 cotton softshell" (for the p11-ch by the way) ; will ask the acr support..

    what about p9-ch and ch-jackets from ss13?

  6. So the cotton pants fit just as well as the schoeller until after a couple of wears and washes? What about the WB-400 with the cotton face fabric; does that maintain its shape? And do you wash the Stoz Etaproof pants or have them drycleaned?

    no, the cotton pants fit too tight after washes, and a couple of wears does not help for me.

    i wash "everything" the same way: delicate, no softeners, near-cold water

     

    p9-ch from ss12 is not wb400 but 3xdry shape and it is a mix of nylon/cotton/elastane and it maintains shape (!) and i love it.

     

    i have two p11-ch and the wb400 fabric is incredible, it reads cottonshell on the sheet and the acr tag but if you read the schoeller tag there is no cotton at all in it and i think that is the case. hope it will age well, and that there will be more jackets and pants made with it in the future, fw1314 maybe?

  7. Would you explain this a bit more? Do you go with s in the schoeller pants because they stretch (in the waist or thighs)?

     

    I have a lot (7!) of acronym pants, all in size s in cotton (epic, stotz) and schoeller fabrics (shape and wb400).

    I wash always in delicate, without softeners and near cold water (< 30 degrees celsius)

     

    ch pants fit me perfect but cotton pants are too tight at the waist and glutes.

    maybe because ch pants stretch and do not shrink and cotton pants do not stretch and shrink.

     

    so thinking of selling my cotton pants in small or trading them for size m or small ch pants, anyway i am happy to have that sort of problems ;)

  8. That's gotta be a euro conversion typo hiccup.  My spies say 5'-11", which equates to 180 - 181 cm.

     

    I am 180cm tall and ds-ka3 (m) fits me exactly like him so your spies are certainly right

  9. That's the only thing keeping me from picking up a GT-J28; I'm worried it will be too short.

    yes, acr sizing is tricking - it seems (!) my size are m for jackets, s for schoeller pants and m for cotton pants

  10. just to help in sizing, does someone know how tall is M. Hugh? read that it was 184cm then 180cm...

     

    from acr support "Errolson Hugh is approx. 5,8 feet tall"

    so around 176cm, i am surprised because he usually wears medium (jackets and pants)

  11. trade two p9s, olive and black in size S very good condition, washed once

    because they are too tight for me (or i am too fat for them ;))

    looking for acr pieces (stotz pants in size M, schoeller/ch pants in size S, or jackets size S or M, 3a-5ts...), feel free to pm me if you're interested

  12. just received my ds-ka3 in size M (returned it in size S, was too tight), incredible short sleeves shirt!

    but it lets me think acronym sizing is very tricky...

    surely, my veilance size is S (jacket, shirts) but it seems for acronym it is M: what about you guys?
