was there duty charge on the xpax 3a-1? if so what tariff code did they use? tia

It's really not that hard AND you would be doing everyone here a favor by sparing us of yet another customs tariff summit.

Anyone have any problems with white creases appearing on the film part of their xpac? Like areas where the material is getting flexed or bent a lot?

This is typical of the foils and is the first onset of peeling/de-lamination. ACR calls it ‘patina’, while the folks who developed it would probably categorize it as ‘deterioration.’ See a few pages back around the time of the first foil 3A-3TS drop for images of accelerated degradation on a swatch. Might help you decide if you want to deal with it for much longer or sell.

I've greatly appreciated the quiet releases/re-stocks as of recent. It definitely feels like they are making conscious effort to make new items more easily available to obsessed fans like some of us. :~)

The two-item drop last month was surprising for many reasons (including pricing), but I think the J53TS-GT might have been largely responsible.

<speculation>

Given that it was released just last Fall with identical specs, and lingering on the site then also, I think that the 're-release' was/is just a second attempt by acr to sell all the J53's that might have been returned last Fall - even having Lenny re-do a photoshoot with the olive 3A-1 to convince us otherwise. The J47A-WS could have very well been slated for release at another time (SS18?), but was expedited to accompany the J53 're-release' to avoid a somber solo re-stock of the J53TS-GT.

</speculation>

3RD-ARM releases have always been sporadic/unannounced as far back as I could remember, so there isn't anything new there. All said, I'm not entirely convinced that the quiet release model is really what is playing out here (though I really hope you are right).

I believe the 2nd picture might actually stotz instead of CH as the fabric stacking around the ankles and the way the knee articulation retaining it shape shows how stiff the fabric is. My usual tell tale is Stotz really fleshed out the knee bagging while Ch and dryskin features alot more drapiness

CH for sure. Peep da spec:

Trying to sleuth the material on the alleged new P10s—the second pair are -CH, but can’t quite place the new ones. Then the third is a side by side with confirmed -CH pants. Who wants in on this Very Fun guessing game?

What makes you think they are new P10s? From the image, they look identical to P10s from previous seasons to me.

CH pants have traditionally been released in two colors: 'Black' and 'Night'. The second image you posted is the P10-CH in 'Black'. The new pair you are questioning, if they are in fact CH, would be in 'Night'. 

Putting the jackets aside for a moment, 368 euros for two 12x20cm zippered-pouches is straight up disrespectful in my opinion.

So they didn't order multiple bags on accident and the total was <$2k after shipping and duties? /s

You could ask @deathrazr -- both of his listings (1 / 2) were only "taken out of the bag to try on."

I don't agree with this. Knock-offs/counterfeits don't only exist because there isn't enough of the product to go around, they exist because they also cater to consumers who are willing to sacrifice quality/authenticity for lower price points that they deem are reasonable for the product. Gucci and LV retail stores are fully-stocked with their handbags at all times -- so why are there counterfeits? 

Truth is plenty of 3A-3TS bags were released last week, they were just purchased by the wrong people. Take a look on grailed.

I blame Tec Sys and their 300m minimum order quantity for all this.

they look like they were ripped from J45M-BW (you can still see the loose threads)

Harvested from flecktarn pouches via ebay is more likely.

sorry to give an outlier data point but i've had some sort of claustrum case since my iphone 5, 6, 7 and now iphone 8. i haven't noticed any irregularities in reception during that time. i also regularly use airpods and their signal doesn't seem to be diminished, although the phone is usually either in my pocket or in a bag on my body so they're never that far away.

 

definitely an interesting observation though, but in talking with the designer he made a conscious effort to not block the antenna seams on the phone.

which version of iphone do you have? (sim free, or carrier?)

I've got a carrier unlocked 6s. With the case attached and Airpods connected, audio cuts out as soon as the phone moves away from my chest and/or enters my front pocket. Repeating the routine with the case off fixes the issue. It could also just be an issue specific to the 6s design; the profile of the case mimics the antenna placement on the 6s. Maybe this is disrupting the signal? I really don't know, maybe someone with more knowledge on the topic could provide input.

Any differences with the black foil?  I noticed the description didn't include the interior layer bit.

No difference other than the weave being black (at least none that I can see/feel).
