P8TS-E, M, black, used, $300 + shipping

S-J14, M, new - BO + shipping

also:

SI Shadow 505A1 Asym Zip jacket, L, bwnt, $450 + shipping (This one. Not ACR, apologies)

SI Shadow Jersey-R Blazer, L, military green, lightly used, $500 + shipping 

To add to 4exohte, the fit is very profile. Out of all my ACR (all of which is Medium), this fits the most snug (J3B comes close too). If you fit in to other ACR, with a little room to spare, this will work fine though.

Still available: S-J14, Medium, new.

Adjustable: No. Best get the right size.

Lock: Yes. The jacket attaches to it with Velcro, so you take take both off easily, while also being able to doff the jacket separately. Note that conceptually the jacket hangs off of the harness, not the other way around.

Compatible with 3a: Yes, in principle. The MP2TS pouches each attach via 2 molle connectors, one on each side of the pouch. The other side of those molle straps is attached to a fidlock system with additional press stud for securing it in place. That's actually quite a clever setup. My guess is this would work generally for 3A attachments with molle webbing on both sides.

One thing to note is that the fidlocks look the same as the ones used by the keychain but they don't interoperate. The wrong end of the fidlock is on the harness, so you cannot attach the keychain end to that.

Hope that helps.

Yup, Appleseed is right. Checked mine: same thing. S/M on the sticker. Guess I was wrong. There isn't normally a size reference on the product sheet BTW.

In my case, yes. It comes with the lumbar sleeve, which I can confirm fits a latest gen MacBook Air, as well as 2x holster pouches. PM me if you need more info.

I can check the spec sheet later today and make sure.

Fourtyounce48: IIRC its one size fits all.

Yup. GT-J32 is there too. The Small sold while I was looking at it. I broke down and copped the Medium.

IC on an S-J14 Etaproof suspensor jacket, BNWT, size Medium. Basically as 4exohte has above, just in medium. Please PM.

Thanks for the tips, everyone! I might hold off until I can try one in person.

Looking to get my first Noragi. Can anyone comment on whether this season's Noragi fits regular? I'm normally a 3 (Kilgore, shirts), so should I aim for that size?

I'm normally an M and 5'10" but I tried a GT-J32 in S and it fit me. I wouldn't call myself particularly slim so my guess is you might get away with an S of a FW1314 hardshell as all of them appear to have a similar fit.

The S has much more functionality but... that LP doe...

Yup, second that! Truly awesome fabric in person. Much more classy look than Stotz, without losing that ACR edge.

Quick update: turns out my GT-J18 is actually an L and not an XL as previously stated. Apologies for the confusion. It's still for sale at $500.

Still have a mint condition J18 in XL (Profile, fits closer to an L, I'd say). If anyone is interested: $500.

It has been clear over the past few seasons that 3A stuff is basically decoupled from the various seasonal collections and on a different schedule. That's probably just pragmatic as its manufactured by Bagjack and not in Sumperk. Synchronizing those is probably more of a headache than its worth. Also, it seems ACRNM.com is the only place that will sell 3A (left over inventory with vendors notwithstanding).

I would love to see some new 3A stuff myself. Mostly I'd love a fastener at the rear bottom left of jackets that connects to the bag, keeping it in place, much like cross-strap would, but without the need for such a long piece of webbing. It would just need a small piece of webbing on the rear of the bag to connect it to. Something Fidlock-ey perhaps. Also a solution for cameras would be nice, as would a sunglasses module.  

Thanks for the info Tao, Stotz definitely sounds like a fine fabric. The only decision left really is P9 or P10. I'm leaning towards P10 because the P9 is a pretty regular look, and I could get a similar looking pant elsewhere. 

 

Also I'm undecided between the 3A-1 and the 3A-3TS. That might come down to price at the end of the day. 

I own both. Look wise, the P9 might seem "regular" but functionally it's very different from "regular" pants. When I switch to "regular" pants again, I always notice the additional resistance at the knee, because other pants aren't articulated. Also, the phone pocket may seems like a small detail but I hate not having it on other pants.

The P10 shares a lot of these features with the P9 of course. Ask yourself what kind of shoes you wear though and how you like the pant to fall on that. The P10 will fit on the inside of high boots (like Visvim 7Holes or Virgils or Stone Island/Diemme boots). With low tops it'll stop short so you see the entire shoe with no drape (at least in my case). The P9 works well with sneakers/trainers but not so well with dressier shoes (IMHO) because of the looser fit. Mind you it can be done at pinch but it's not my favorite look. This is all just my preference and yours might be different. Still, how it pairs with shoes is an important part of the choice for me between wearing the one vs. the other.

Hi Syphon,

Stotz would to retain water resistance over time, since this is mostly a result of the long staple cotton itself. The idea is that the cotton swells up and locks out water coming through. The fabric itself gets wet as a result of course, but water doesn't stream through.

Also, it dries pretty quickly.

On top of this, some water repellant coating (DWR) is applied. This basically causes water to roll off, at least initially. 

The coating should, according to the label, be reapplied after 5 washes. Not sure where you get it, but then I haven't looked.

I've been wearing my P9S for almost year before sending them off to the dry cleaner. I just hang them to air out every time and that seems to be enough. No odor issues. YMMV.

As for fading, the initial wash seems to add a slight sheen to the fabric. Nothing too concerning. Like everything, it will fade but much less so than Epic does, at least in my experience.

Seriously, they're awesome pants. Get them, they won't disappoint (assuming they fit for you ).

Hi,

Long shot, but I'd pay good money for the black blazer (IJK-NTC) from FW1314, in size 4.

It's sold out everywhere.

Thanks,

-Thijs.

Fairly certain its the P11-CH.

There is a picture from the same series on that page.

Interest check on a J18 in XL.

Bump

The Iron Hearts are really heavy at 21oz. Very few denim pieces like it. It's not yet broken in fully so its still stiff. The NBHD denim is lighter and processed, so it looks worn. As a result it's soft and easy to wear. 

You'll put on the NBHD and it'll be great right away.

The IHs are more of a project. You'll have to wear them a bit to fully wear them in but in return they'll develop their own patina with time of course. They'll last a really long time.
