Sypron

Got one of each. That 3XDRY is awesome fabric, really glad that's what the black one is as well. 

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think there are two distinct CH types this season:

_schoeller® 3XDRY COTTON | NYLON STRETCH

_schoeller® WB-400™ Cotton Softshell

 

The former comes in grey, the later in black.

Knowing what's coming, weeks in advance, helps a lot. I've already decided what I'm going to buy at this point. No need to make rash decisions. 

Those are some of the BEST pictures I've seen for a sales post.

My finger is getting sore from hitting refresh on the store page. Anyone know when the drop will actually be?

P14, P15 and J29B for me. I'd rather a GT-J38 than the J29B but I can't justify it at full retail price. I'd definitely buy one at used price though.

WTB: J36-GT Small.

 

Either FW-1314 version or SS-14 Black/Olive version. 

for me, these jackets are the core to Acronym's design philosophy and no Acronym collection is complete without one

 

Same here, which is why I'm keen to get my hands on a GT one. Something so overbuilt that would make a soldier look ill-equipped. 

I'm going to go ahead and call it 'stupidly waterproof'. 

 

Although I have noticed that in particularly heavy downpours (similar to

) the hood and cuffs did wet through. I would recommend sizing up though. I bought my regular Acronym size (small) and the hood is too small to adequately keep my face dry. 

they need to add more than just one item

There should be more (softshell drop) next week, 20th.

Sometimes it's better to wait until you find someone who actually wants the item you're looking to sell, and not give in to bargain-chasers. I've often managed to get two-to-three times what items go for on eBay in auction just by being patient. These guys have the right idea: put it up at the price you want with a best offer option and let it run 'till cancelled or sold. Fuck an auction sniper. 

 

Still, $1,700 for an Epic vest has to be way over value right? Surely didn't cost that much when it was new.

crazy seller!

 

There's no way he's going to get that much for it, right?

Right...?

Does anyone have any idea, realistically, how many items Acronym produces in each item each season?

 

We already know they're small runs, but on top of that there are about 20 different models (including colour variation) in 4 different sizes. Between a P10-E in Olive Medium, and a J36-GT black-on-olive in large, there are easily 80 distinct items Acronym is selling. 

 

How many of each item could there really be? 

I think when it comes to P10s, you want the length to be sufficient first.

That bag sold for 800 bucks! Ya'll cray

You don't have to be crazy to shop here, but it helps.

Put the jacket on > get ready to close it > grab the left side of the zipper with your left hand > grab the loop with your left hand > now guide the right side of the zipper into the left side while holding the loop as opposed to the zipper itself > notice how elegantly this works as opposed to fumbling with the right side zipper part…

 

This checks out, thanks. 

Anyone who doesn't like the look of the logos can take them off old branded stock.

 

But those of use who like the look of the logos can't add them to new stock. 

So I just recently got a DS-J5 (thanks SuE!) and I'm a little puzzled by a detail affixed to the bottom of the primary zipper.

 

It's a small loop made out of the same stuff as the jacket sling anchors. Any ideas what it is?

There should be a P10, P14 and P15 in "CH" (not the same CH though).

Seems like they should have partnered with a different company, one who specialised in backpacks rather than messenger bags.

If anyone is interested in trading a hardshell (GT) interops jacket, I'd be interested in swapping one for my J1A-S.

 

Anything from the last few seasons really, the J28, J34, J36, J38. Any colour, so long as it's small and has interops. 

3A-1 in Grey!? anyone have a picture of what this looks like? I went with black regardless.... so tempted to buy grey just because

 

 

For anyone confused about the colour difference,

The problem with cordura is it can cause pilling on some fabrics used in jackets (ie DS-J5, ask me how I know).

 

How do you know? Isn't pilling simply caused by abrasion, regardless of the source?

It had a slight sheen to it, but I don't know if it looked all that leathery. 

 

Well I doubt it would be real leather. That's not really ACRNM's style (and yes, I know there have been leather jackets, but it's not mainline stuff). But until we know what it is, that's the adjective I'm going with.
