Say it ain't so

that specific colorway doesn't work for me, but the "A" dazzle camo pattern works really, really well on this model. Definitely excited about the grey and volt colorways if they come with the same pattern.

unlike some other brands, veilance is incredibly consistent in sizing compared to other brands. people new to the brand might not know this, hence the requests. "get your usual size" is practically a meme in this thread by now.

that is some serious black ops marketing.

edit: fuck it

joined the drop for the laptop bag. keep it up bro!

haven has some fw18 up for those amongst us who are more easily swayed by their styling

yeah i think you could see that one in some of the ss19 pics. A different model shirt made out of the same material as the field overshirt would be great. The field overshirt is one of my all time favourite veilance pieces and i get a shitton of use out of it.

kinda happy for my wallet there's nothing in this season i'm excited about. looking forward to ss19.

the material is nice.it's a very deep, flat black and a relatively lightweight fabric. one downside is it attracts lint and dust like nobody's business. if you wear a white t shirt with it the top of the pants will end up looking dusted in powdered sugar. it's kinda water repellent but as per usual with treated cottons you shouldn't expect too much of that.

this is my first custom pant and i really like the cut. this model has an extra seam in front of the thigh and some knee darting that adds a lot of structure to the pant and a nice stacking. the zip pockets and elasticated waist are kind of useless imho. i wouldn't pay retail for it, but for 40% off they;re a nice pair of pants.

that zip shirt is intruiging.

blazer looks like it's using the poly/kevlar blend of the stealth/operand shirts.

would love a grey terratex pant.

more running gear shots. looks like veilance will have their own shakedry product.

Maharishi has some cool stuff this season, some of which is on sale. Picked up a nifty uninsulated bomber made out of crinkly italian tech nylon and a pair of 3xdry treated pants. 

you know we're living in the postmodern era when a menswear spinoff of an activewear brand gets it's own activewear spinoff.

i wish they'd bring the subset back. mine's getting a little long in the tooth in places.

the problem is they're not coming from some bootleg factory. it's the contracted factory themselves getting some on the side.

i reckon it's just the price of admission when having your stuff made in china.

What's up with all these fake items popping up. They're clearly all coming from the overseas Arc factory. You'd think someone at Arc would put a stop to it

yeah ever since some veilance production moved to china they've been having a field day over there. grailed is loaded with fake veilance.

I feel like a lot of ACG pieces come off as looking cheap, especially this season and last. The obnoxious branding all over certainly doesn’t help. Items still sell out though so what do I know.

yeah back in the day the acg aesthetic was deliberately garish branding. then the first couple of seasons erlsn turned that into weird big but subdued military-ish markings which was interesting, but now we're apparently back to garish.

previous collection wasn't for me but it was an interesting divergence from the acrnm aesthetic. this just looks like some of those asian knockoffs with too many zippers.

dani is making light of the pc crowd getting their panties in a bunch over major being caucasian. it was a big deal in some circles when the movie came out. also something something orientalism something appropriation something.

i met a guy doing research for the gits movie when on a trip in hiroshima. we went to the mazda factory together. cool dude, polish i think.

i don't understand the need for such a transparent argument in the first place. "make hay while the sun shines" would work for me.

There has to be someone that knows someone who knows someone in that Czech factory. Use your resources sufu and get intel for us.  We can even crowdfund the fee for said verified intel.

or

Take E’s word.  What would he gain from lying? 

let's put it like this: the most expensive pant the tilak brand  puts out is a €400 gore-tex pant. The average tilak pant is 150ish. Whatever it is, it's definitely not labor cost making the acr pants four to ten times as expensive.

I mean, fine, but a year or two of his gear being worn by no one but Russian oligarch offspring and it'll be as tainted as Edd Hardy. 

whenever i look at my trusty old SS-j2 i feel like acrnm is in that place already and i feel kinda sad.

if you think this is about fair wages only you're delusional. erlsn is essentially the new rick. he'd be crazy not to make bank off of this hype.

both terratex models are stupid comfortable, great looking and not restrictive at all. the apparats and cotton voronois less so, but i don't think they're more restrictive than similarily sized pants in non-stretch cotton blends. you're not getting acr levels of range of motion out of something without acr levels of bagginess and articulation.
