    would worry that the sleeves wear out at the J81.  But it looks really good.  Someone has experience with the J59.  Sleeves are similar there.

    The cuffs on the 81 are the same fabric as the S21 if I’m not mistaken.

    Have the 59 it’s very different, 2.5L GT(PL-like...) bonded to an elastic net.

  2. Kekko’s actually wearing PS version there, which is far warmer than the AK. I was with him and it was cold that morning, but the sun came out later and we both get hot easily on the train so doffed jackets.

  3. @eyeheartny You definitely need M. 8cms height difference.

    @Z-11 Just fits, oddly can still see sock in shot 3. (Worn a tad higher here? than shot 1 if you look where the cuff lands)

    In the end it depends on the look you want - baggy with tight calves, or voluminous with a slight stack. Plus don’t forget body type, @Z-11 is a solid unit. I personally prefer the mini stack (check my old pics of P23A for ref) because I’m taller.

    How come? The measurements look spot on in a medium so curious why you think so. The waist would be too big by nearly 2" in the Large and the outseam nearly 2" longer than I tend to need as well. 

    If conversion is correct your roughly 188cm and 97kg in real money. Definitely need L from my perspective. 191cm and 87kg here, I’m XL in almost everything, but L in P10A-DS (because of stretch) which is 1.5cm longer on website than P32.

    My only Q would be - P32 owners - does any excess baginess translate to length? Wouldn’t have thought so...

    Weird question but how do you stop the p30a fabric from bunching up in the front? I would much prefer it bunching up in the back of anything haha. 

    Yeah sadly, the new belt is not an improvement over the old. A real hindrance... I figured my way around it by angling my waist downwards almost like beginning deadlift stance and doing a few partial cinches whilst pushing the fabric back.

    On the topic of p24a-s 
    I wondering if I could get some opinions on this.

    Recently picked up a pair of p24a-s sz M 2nd hand. Measured the outseam to be about 101-2cm versus the 105cm from site(and another owner with a sz M pair) . Seller adamantly claims they haven't been altered.
    Just wondering if anyone else had sizing issues or if its just QC issues on acrs end of things with the ss18 p24a-s

    Cheers :) 


    note the wonky stitching line 20190726_081647.jpg

    That’s just Stotz, it shrinks. My P10A is about 104-105cm but the website had 109 or 110cm, can’t remember exactly.

    I think this jacket is seriously awesome but they killed it for me again with a zipper that you can’t use without yanking it down to align and takes me like 5 goes each time...which for £1400 I just can’t really accept. As I’ve moaned when this happened on other models in the past I expect seamless usage for Acronym items. I shouldn’t be fighting a zip on an item made by the kings of articulation. I’d really like to keep it but I think this actually came out as the most expensive acronym jacket I ever bought which is mad. Same issue elsewhere or did I get a bum one?

    Many tries grappling with the raccangi on my J50 taught me how particular a zip can be - that said it’s since gotten a lot easier, not sure if it’s just technique or wear...

    ...but the 59 zipper seemed okay on the few wears I’ve managed. Only thoughts, I wish it were a raccangi purely because the thicc chunky zipper just fits the aesthetic of the jacket.

    Those that own a J74-PX does your size tag show XS? I saw someones pick of the inside tag that indicated it went to XS but the site doesn't lead you to believe it was ever available in XS.

    Shows XS, never came in XS though.

  12. Think I might keep my trusty P23A after comparisons.

    anyone got the J59-GT yet?

    Yeah, it's wonderful.

    Only managed a handful of solid wears, was lucky there happened to be a cold spell just before the rain season/hot weather kicked off here.

    It's the first GT I've been interested in in a while, apart from the J16 update. Getting used to the noise again was interesting. Last GT I owned was a J43A, about 3-4 years ago maybe and I sold it not long after buying.

    It has so many great features but still simplified and light.

    I'm normally an XL in Acronym but after a good measure (or 20-30...) of my J46-S it was clear the L would be sufficient. I could easily fit a tee/sweater/liner combo under there. J74 and J63A zip right in. It's very roomy, in the best way. There's a lot less skin contact inside so wearing with just a tee or a tank feels good. Used the snap closure almost every time (except during a good downpour one night). Looking forward to zipping up properly over next winter.

    The shock cord really affects the shape quite drastically. The cuffs are brilliant - I was worried about becoming steamy/hot in the sleeves - but they breathe very well.

    I'm reasonably tall - 191cm and the shape/silhouette looks good with a slimmer pant (P10A) or low/wide swag (P23A). In original config it's a unique piece - but versatile too, in the sense that if you whip the hood off it's a nice simple black bomber which changes the feel completely.

    So happy with it overall.

    I feel happy this love still in the fam after it was listed on yahoo jp, what’s good for a brand new!

    Dan nice score :)

     

    I didn’t get it haha, it was first in a different shop then bought and RE-sold on Yahoo for double by our new mate Blue dragon bla bla bla... sadly.

  15. The 3 patches of Infinium are there to stop the zipper heads making an impression/tearing the fabric on the front pockets.

    I got the same jacket back, pretty certain it was cleaned too (maybe steam cleaned etc). Very carefully packed so as to not wrinkle the front pockets.

    I paid 1373.18 Euros inclusive of shipping to Japan. But I know I'm gonna get hit with a massive import tax...

    Shouldn't be too bad, on P23A-DS I paid 100us - they were 900-ish euro.

    I remember people being really unhappy with the belt system on the 23A-DS—how have you found it after an extended period of time now? There's supposed to be a 23A-S in the Fall.

    Looping the straps back through the buckle keeps them tight enough for it not to be an issue.  Minor adjustments required throughout the day but I'm never worried my pants are gonna fall down.  You can also just tie them and it works great.  Stotz will be heavier though so we'll see if there's a difference.

    ^^ -S Goes back to P23TS style belt system and has loops.
