How's the durability of that white interior layer?

Highly abrasive resistant fabric. Technically speaking, it should be the exterior of the bag.

Might be wrong but I don’t remember this line in the description of previous releases(?)

“Aluminium exterior layer will eventually disintegrate to reveal white interior layer.”

Dragged a blade repeatedly over some silver xpac laying around to expedite the process for illustration:

I really can't imagine arriving to this point unless you are subjecting your bag to some serious abuse. Personally not my slant, but to each their own.

doesn't xpac fray though?

In case there is any confusion, the foils and the OG are all xpac. The foils are much more vulnerable to fraying once the weave is exposed after peeling, but I have yet to see any after daily use since April. Regarding the OG xpac, in my experience, it would take a substantial amount of abrasion and stress to get it to fray. It's an overall more resilient product against the elements as its purpose is more in line with performance sails/sailing, whereas the foils were developed for slightly different applications, ie. radar-reflective panels on life-rafts, etc. 

Made a small black foil pouch (12cm x 20cm)  for my girlfriend back in April and will say that it acquires the patina depicted on the site quickly and easily. Peeling of the clear top-layer laminate follows soon after and that is when patina transitions into degradation, but remains superficial -- the weave beneath maintains its integrity very well. That said, the OG xpac still reigns supreme in my book; my 3A-9TS has seen travel to 8 countries and still looks and functions like the day I bought it. Really hope it makes a comeback.

Deviating from the 3RD-ARM buzz for a sec to voice my unfortunate dissatisfaction with the Claustrum iPhone cases. Love the look of this thing, but the metal which clads the exterior of the case seriously interferes with cellular signals and makes having a comprehensible phone call nearly impossible on my 6s, even effecting Bluetooth connection with my airpods to the point where audio cuts out and/or is not transmitted entirely. Tried the case on other phones to replicate symptoms to ensure it was not just my phone and it was confirmed. Used it for almost 4 months (taking it on and off) until I couldn't take it anymore. 

Will be forwarding the aforementioned feedback directly to Claustrum in hopes of conjuring a remedy for later iterations. I would steer clear till then. 

EDIT: This is a personal testimony based solely on use of the case with the 6/6s models and cannot speak on whether other iPhone models are affected.

Does anyone know what pants errolson was wearing at complexcon? I originally thought p23a but I didn't see a jersey cuff and only one detached looking pocket on the right side. 

Looked like P17 to me.

Updating...

WTB: J28-GT / J47A-GT (both in L). Would trade my J1A-GT in L (9.5/10) for the aforementioned in equal condition.

It's like a neutered version of the original, whose appeal was it's jarring contrast and frankenstein approach to design.

Would like to know if, beyond the pattern if ACRNM had much of a hand in the colour (or lack of) decision on dispaly or if it was more a 'corporate thing'?

This is high street sanitization.

Quote from Senior Creative Director Nike Sportswear’s Lead Designer, Al Baik:

“There is no other shoe that connects to sport, music, fashion, art, the street and the city all at the same time. The most ubiquitous Air Force 1 is the white-white. For the 35th anniversary, we selected collaborators who are impacting future generations across culture. Their brief was filtered through the white-white lens. The design brief was to remain classic and recognizable to the Air Force 1 while connecting to each collaborator’s life personally and the fields they represent.”

Fastened the J58 into my J1A-GT and feel as though the fit now might be a little too tight. Looking to possibly experiment with a roomier silhouette. That said...

WTB:

J28-GT in Large (possibly trade for my J1A-GT in Large)

P10-DS / P10TS-DS in Large

Just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone with UPS who was delivering my drop-day order from acrnm.com today (yeah, from Sept. 20, 2017). Had to turn down the delivery because the driver was requesting a 27.9% brokerage fee for my P25H-DS. Turn outs the tariff code attached to my package by the folks at acrnm doesn't exist, so I was subject to some sort of generic maximum.

For the record, the correct tariff code for anyone in the US importing DS pants is 6203.43.1190, which is at 7.1%. Please note that it is different from tariff code 6203.43.0300 (included in a post from the very generous @Voyager a few days before drop-day) which they did not accept because it concerns bibs/overalls and not pants. Hope this saves others some money (and the headache).

If you're from the US, try your best to avoid acrnm.com, haven, and end-clothing if you're looking for the best prices. If you really MUST order internationally, I've had wonderful experiences with Firmament, Bureau, and HBX.

As an example, the J58-WS is 1040 EUR which is optimistically 1235.95 USD (excluding duties and shipping and the bs PayPal conversion rate)

Huh? My J58-WS via acrnm was 874 Euro, which Paypal adjusted to 1038 USD + the 2.8% customs. Not the cheapest option, but definitely not a last resort.

I bought the P23-S and a J58-WS. I had issues with my debit card during purchase, and I received the payment didn't go through during the PayPal transaction. Was able to fix it eventually, and the payment went through PayPal, and the amount has been taken from my Account. I received an order invoice, and an email confirming my Payment, but I also received a few Emails that said the Payment failed to go through. The money has been taken from my account, and the payment status is "completed" on PayPal. Did my Payment go through even though I received order cancellation emails?  is it just because I frantically spammed the check out a few times when it didn't work, and the cancellation emails took longer to get to me than the confirmation Email for some reason? really hope it went through...

I would stay tuned. Something sold out while I was in the payment process via acrnm couple seasons ago - completed the checkout, received confirmations emails from both acrnm and paypal, but was forwarded a refund from acr a few hours later.

You can order ‘too fast’ if you’re lucky and have auto fill properly set up. I’d hate for there to be a misunderstanding if that’s how his bot detection works. 

Bot purchases are instantaneous - literally within milliseconds. Bureau Belfast was already sold out in all sizes of the J28 when I was cycling the refresh button at the drop time. 

Items have been removed from the mothership site.

I'll lowball you at $500 shipped considering this is releasing again for retail in literally 2 days.

Might want to up your offer as it'll most likely retail much higher this time than the previous release.

I'm 6'4", slender build, and landed on a sz M in the P23TS-S; the cuffs terminate just above my ankles straight with no stacking, which is personally how I prefer the silhouette. Otherwise all my other acr pants (P24, P10, etc) are sz large. Hope this is helpful to someone.

On that note, anyone with sizing experience on the P25? Not a lot of fit pics in circulation to reference so any pointers would be helpful.

i've been wearing the p10-s religiously over the past year or so and wanted to say how useful a small thing such as the phone pocket is.

i normally carry a small notebook in my right hand pocket and the phone pocket allows the phone to be placed elsewhere,

thus freeing up space and allowing easier access to my notebook. 

i first thought the phone pocket is just a neat gimmick, but i've grown to appreciate its subtle value. 

Agreed. I only hope the pairs I own don't fall victim to the phasing out of suitably sized phones in favor of the 'Plus' variety. Though leaks of the 'iPhone 8' seem to suggest this is inevitable...
