  1. I still have a slightly specific questions to you owners/previous owners of the j53ts-gt. I've been told it's not too warm, but what I want to know is if I can wear it in like +16°C, and in that ballpark without getting hot? And how do acronym shells compare (in straight up warmth) to let's say a windbreaker? I want to be able to use it in as many possible seasons, to get that good price per wear ratio. Thanks in advance!

  2. I'm the same height, ~185lbs, and also have broad-ish shoulders and prefer a large in acr jackets. I find the fit is perfect. I can fit a medium, but it's a little restricting and not great for layering. Unless you're really skinny the L should work.

    Well I guess I'm sold. If it doesn't fit well there's always the choice of sending it back which is a hassle when you have to pay shipping. If it doesn't end up fitting well, I guess I'll have to wait for the spring/summer drops. Thanks for the help 

  3. Thanks for the help guys.

    No I'm not 200 pounds, nor am I built like an evangelion.

    The problem is that on a medium, the shoulders would possibly be too tight (measured my shoulder and its 15.2cm about, so I'd rather go large there + a looser fit) , and I can't find a medium for sale anywhere, but there are larges and xl's still going around. On a large, the shoulders are fine, but like I said it would probably come down almost to my knees. I really like the J53, but since I don't own any other acronym jackets, I might wait for the SS/17 drops. But on the other hand if I don't cop this now, I might not have the chance to get it anymore, especially at the price it is now. 

     

    As for the model heights and sizes, I wouldn't know. Since the J53 isn't on their site anymore I think. 

     

    It's such a sick piece and I've never owned anything acronym, and the price is so high that I'd rather not take chances with how it fits. Also, how warm are these 3l jackets? I'd like to use it through summer, spring and fall. Nordic winters definitely require a liner. Already -7C here and snowing. cheers!

  4. I was thinking of getting a J53TS-GT somewhere in the near future. I'm normally a medium or large in mostly everything, I'm 5 11" but I have quite broad shoulders. From the sizing info I have, a large would come down to my knees basically, misleading af when every picture is of a 190cm dude wearing a small. How the hell would you wear this if you're not 6 foot 2?
