This is a well-known scam: you order an item, ask for a return due to the wrong size or whatever reason, and then send them one you bought on Taobao. SSENSE simply can't legit check every item due to the sheer volume of shipping and returns. Chinese shops have started combating this by putting unique stickers on washing tags that are very hard to remove. SSENSE is not selling fake items on purpose, that's for sure.

I once spent 10 minutes convincing the bouncer that P10-DS are not gym joggers.

My uneducated guess is that he delegated too much creative power to the wrong people. This happened with Shadow Project, where the last (before Schneider) seasons were made without Errolson by Umit & co, so most likely the same is happening here.

acrdb.com is now available; feel free to grab it if you're interested in building anything acr-related. I believe I owe an explanation regarding it. In short, I sourced and contacted a photographer who worked on the first collections and he had not only the missing FW-0607 season but all the first seasons in their original quality straight from the camera. He was willing to share them with me if Errolson would allow it. He sent an email to Errolson and asked for his permission. After two or three months of waiting, Errolson finally replied and instructed him not to share any photos. He expressed his dislike for old seasons being online, as it could lead to people stealing his designs or whatever. After receiving this response, I decided to take down the website and don't bother anymore.

How can a 6-year-old jacket with delamination be rated 9/10? I sold my J28 after 2 or 3 years of wearing, and it was perfect with no flaws whatsoever. I listed it as 8/10.

Those people are the core customers; if you respect them, they will stick with the brand and feed your hand forever. The other customers don't care; they may be into techwear today and gorpcore a year later. That's exactly what happened with all that #acrhive shit. Errolson thought this would last forever, hence increasing prices and quantities, but in reality, nobody cares about techwear anymore. But here we are, the SuFu still talking about it years later, and the other customers you're referring to moved on a long time ago and won't ever come back.

I doubt it has anything to do with money because, as you can see for yourself, the new products aren't selling well either. Haven, which carried the acronym for more than a decade, making the decision not to carry ACR anymore is very telling. I think the problem is that Errolson gave too much creative power to the wrong people without setting clear guidelines and may have become less involved in the process himself, as he did with the last seasons of Shadow Project. I'm not saying that his tastes haven't changed, but you should know your audience; even if you like wearing Balenciaga clown shoes, it doesn't mean that the people buying your jackets do. I'm 100% sure that if he had just taken the best items from the 2015-2017 season and simply re-released them as is at a reasonable price, people would be clearing the shelves. I still remember how buying a €1000 jacket with addition tape, allowing you to hide the logo, was a mind-blowing idea – that's what Acronym is all about, not 3M logos on the back or spikes on the head. He could've just looked at Visvim and followed what Hiroki is doing because he's been doing the same thing for 20 years and is still doing great. Haven still carries it, and his items are still selling out without much of a problem, even though they're as expensive as ACR.

The issue lies not with the removable spikes, but rather with the direction in which everything is heading.

I was looking at old WW1 uniforms and accidentally discovered the most likely inspiration for the J36 jacket. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but that angle makes me think otherwise.
