  1. The tumble drying warning is there to keep dummies who excessively wash their stuff from mindlessly drying their clothes on high and causing pillling/warping lol

    I’ve dried all my DS on low for years now with zero ill effects. But I also don’t wash it after every wear. Unless you’re playing rugby in it or crawling around under cars or something every time you wear it there’s really no need.

    would also like to hear your opinion on the P23Q. It a size large. Feel a little uncomfortable as I still have a hard time tucking down the integrated belt to my waist. I’ll guess sizing down isn’t an option as it would be too short. 
    Thanks for your feedback

    P23’s are too short

    I did searching on this thread back to 2014. 

    Is anyone using a 14" laptop in their 3A-1? I understand that it's not really a laptop bag as it doesn't allow the bag to conform to your body since it can't bend in the middle section. Does anyone have difficulty taking their laptop in and out along with other items inside of it?

    The next step up is 3A-5 with a dedicated laptop cover/pocket but it seems too large and unwieldy for simply a smaller laptop. No in-between looks like.

    The 3a-5ts is another option. No front pockets which slim it down a bit. Not that either of them are very ‘large and cumbersome’ imo. I have the 5ts and it’s a great daily bag, also suitable for a weekend trip.

    I can only own 1 Acronym jacket and the choices are J68-GT and J119-WS. Which would y’all recommend? 

    J119 is way more versatile in terms of styling across the board.

     
    WS is killer. Needs less maintenance than GT. Delam is real. WS is less waterproof but neither jacket is designed for that in the first place so who cares lol.   

  5. I didn’t care for P16A-CH myself. Too drapey. Not a good fabric for a cargo pant imo, especially considering how quickly it frays. P10/A’s were super comfy but you have to spread out you wears or else they wear super fast lol.

    @moneytalks The zipper turned golden, the Pulltabs turned copperish. They didn’t work smooth anymore and tended to open when the bag was loaded heavily.

    A while back the pulltab also broke off the raccagni zipper, from my experience I can’t really understand why they are so sought after. 

    I had the L2 from drop until selling it back in November.

    It was my daily bag for 6 years, and I beat the shit out of it. Only issues I ever had was the zips being a little sticky till they broke in.
     

    I preferred the patina look of the zips myself. Black and gold baby

    Only sold because I picked up a 5ts for cheap.

    That is, by far, the worst username I've ever seen 

    Click bait user name and a great example of how smothering yourself in ACR doesn’t make up for lack of personal style. 
     

    Also- dude needs to just cut the cord on that head piece. I’m also a victim of man baldness. Better to embrace than sport a dying bird on your head lol

    I seem to have enraged yan90 and his posse! Good Merry Christmas to Yan90 all and all the other sexually challenged wankers on this pathetic site! :-)

    Too dumb to understand how PayPal works, too stupid to realize this is the wrong place to post the dumbness, and too self centered to read the room. Congrats on triple playing yourself in public lol. 

  9. You def need to size up on those. They shouldn’t fit like skinny jeans. They should have a lot of range of movement available. If you can’t do deep squats or lunges easily with little to no restriction and bunching in the seat/crotch/knee than they ain’t the right size. Not to mention they look much better when not painted on.

    @MNB yeah sure, as said I like the fit. 
    but what @Yan90 said about the length and the missing stacking is giving me to think. Compared to the shots at acronym he is 100% right. I just don’t want to look like an idiot who picked the wrong size. 

    I will keep it for now and see if it will annoy me over time, but it’s pretty unlikely to find somebody who is willed to trade my L for an XL I guess.

    WTS: 3A-3TS L2

    Original owner, purchased from mothersite back in 2016. One of the rear corners has some fraying, but the seams there are still strong/doesn’t travel to the inner. The back of the inner liner behind the hanging pockets has some minor fraying as well. No other damage besides general patina. Includes bag/spec.

    I didn't like it either but when you put it like that I'm now sold on the new J28-GT. I really fuck with the vision, E

    Cyberherbz simp confirmed

  12. J28 sucks as a GT jacket so let’s stack on that suckiness. Let’s add a pubic bib and a less awesome collar.
     

    That wasn’t good enough.

    Ok, let’s add a 60’s era golf jacket collar, ‘hat’ instead of hood, and make the piss flaps tie down and removable so you’ll lose them in your closet.

    tbh i absolutely loath how they resolved the draw cords.  having the cord locks in the waistline of the belt makes it so you have to press them against your body should you choose to wear a belt and i haven’t found them to securely hold pants when loading pockets due to the elasticity. just feels like the simplest, but least considered solution compared to how effective all variants of the webbing QLQR are, but maybe i need to try them more this season.

    (that said there should be a dual strap QLQR with say a fidlock buckle so pants can quickly come undone, would be a nice functional addition)

    ‘Resolved’? We’re getting more draw string style pants coming up here soonish.

    This new cinching drawcord system at the waistline.  Are the p-50 pants oversized in the waist and meant to be cinched in?  Or is it just a sort of an element used to give you the convenience of not having a belt?  i see that the drawstring cords are on the upcoming p44 as well and would love to know.  Thanks.

    It’s new as of the P38, and no the waistline is not oversized.
