Nothing specific, but if anyone is a size LARGE and wants to chat about potential trades, just drop me a line.

I've got a pretty deep collection going back right to the early days, and could always be up for some interesting offers. 
 

That J104-WS is probably the best jacket I've seen for quite some time. 

I just like that we get to have this same conversation every few years. Have we done the Johanna F Schneider bit yet?

WTB > Acronym NG1-PS

Absolutely not. You pay your own return fees.

"The customer is responsible for all expenses incurred through returning the goods, where the delivered item corresponds to the ordered item. Otherwise, return postage is free of charge. The refund is made within 30 days of receipt of the return."

Again, you're making assumptions. You don't know how many they've made of each and you don't know what success looks like to them. And you definitely can't guarantee selling out a J1A in pink. 

Look, I'm not trying to argue with you for the sake of it, just saying that Acronym's about the long game. We were commenting about the same thing on here 10 years ago.

You're thinking Acronym base their success on how quickly they sell out of a particular piece? That seems like an incredibly flawed assumption. I'm sure they're surprised/happy when that happens, but I'm also sure they're not taking that into account with their strategy either. You don't survive 20 years on word-of-mouth advertising by pinning your hopes to a small percentage of your catalog.

It was how you cinched the waist in. Without them, you would just have a ton of folded material under your belt because they are so wide waisted. So yeah, utility.

We’ve discussed this many times on here over the years but my opinion, as someone who is still wearing an original DS-KA3 and LA3 and literally lives in DS all year round, you just don’t need to wash it very often. if it doesn’t smell, doesn’t have stains and just isn’t dirty, why would you put it through the stress of being washed? This isn’t upland cotton, it’s one of the best technical materials on the planet. I mean it’s totally up to you, all I know is that I’m still wearing Dryskin that’s 15 years old and it’s still in near perfect condition. If you want to shorten the life of your garments by washing them every wear or two, that’s fine too.

After seeing the LA6B-DS sell out again on the mother site it’s got me curious. Does this garment in a technical fabric hold up to hundreds of washes like I expect all my other button down long sleeve shirts to? Also I don’t understand the appeal of a utilitarian workwear item like a shirt being only owned in one or maybe two units. For those who own this piece would you be willing to get to a full set of 5 to cover a work week if it was available to purchase at retail?

If you think you ned to wash Dryskin every time you wear it, you probably don't own any. I own the original LA6-DS from SS16 (I'm actually wearing it as I type this), and I've probably washed it a couple of times a year at most and it's still in near perfect condition (just a little pilling on the back) after regular wear over the last 7 years. It works perfectly for both informal and formal occasions and is one of those pieces that always gets a few comments. The way it's going, I'm expecting it to hold up for at least another 5 years of wear, hopefully a lot more.

J47>>>>J1 and  j28 tbh. It's clean and not hyped af. 

The J47 is easily my most worn Acronym jacket ever. If i want to go to the office in 'office casual', it works perfectly, the 28 and even the 47a look cooler way on the street but neither have that versatility imo. The chest pocket is always handy (and surprisingly roomy too), and the collar really helps the with transition between the informal and formal appearance. It's definitely not the flashiest or coolest jacket in my collection but because of it's chameleon-like utility, it's the one that I reach for most.

I may have been drunk shopping and won this. Did not see that hood is missing. Would other snap hoods be interchangeable? Or is it metropolis level worthless without?

Lots of Acrnm hoods are interchangeable, I've swapped mine around on lots of different jackets.

WTS:

3A-6TS X-Pac in fantastic condition with internal laptop sleeve, perfectly white interior, and I'll even throw in a couple of Aoku pouches with fidlocks and an Acronym 3A-MP2TS. All for the very fair price of €1000 plus postage.

Any questions or further info needed, just drop me a message.

Does anyone know any European (not UK) online stockists besides https://slamjam.com/collections/acronym/ ?

WTB: J98-SS in large. 

Wait till you see the rest of it. Good lord.

Can’t decide myself if it’s worth the hassle to switch. I do like the way the e version seems to drape 

I used to own the P30-CH and the drape was fantastic compared to the DS version in terms of the way the pants held their shape. The DS are fantastic pants but the stiffer materials give them a beautiful shape from the side that you just don't get with the Dryskin. I expect the E will be similar.

Byborre website updated. Way easier to use. 

It's not though is it? It's about 2% easier. What a difference a simple filter would actually make. 

For anyone interested, I sized down fine (I'm TTS large and bought a medium) on the S24, no issues with the shoulders. For reference, I can't size down on jackets at all as I have pretty big shoulders. 

^^^ Best shorts EVER.

WTB: P10A-E Alpha Green in Large.

I've got lots to trade if anyone has a pair they're willing to part with?

Not one for IP theft but news is that a stone island replica manufacturer is going to make the J1A-GTKP and sell it for $360~ next year. Apparently that guy's stone island replicas are pretty on point, like 9.5/10 retail. The biggest news is that it's going to be using real gore-tex... don't shoot the messenger, I don't condone this shit. Just that if he makes it as well as he says he will, the pricetag on ACR is going to be a lot harder to justify....

edit: of course I get negrep lol, but dw im already -40 rep so i have nothing more to lose 

Not one for IP theft but [here's some IP theft news]... 

With respect, this is kinda like going to an art dealers and telling the people there that there's some guy down the road that will do a half decent copy for a fraction of the cost. People are here because they buy into the whole Acrnm deal, and they want the real deal. Maybe you'd be better posting something like that on the Fakronym thread or somewhere where people aren't quite as invested in whether they are purchasing an original or not.

also, here's the difference of the P10A-E alpha green vs the J68 alpha green. the pants have a way stronger green tint in them and the jacket appears more beige-ish next to it.

I'd kinda like to see how that works as a fit, getting nice lunar vibes from that combo.

Can anyone review white goretex?

One of the first times I wore my white GT out, a girl gave me a hug and got make up on the collar that I've never been able to get out. And yeah, it's pretty much impossible to keep it clean for long if you actually want to wear it. As good as it looks, I'd never buy it again personally. 

Unless you haven't included them, looks like you should try some midlayers and shirts.
