    There's no point flipping Acronym anymore since exclusivity was thrown out the window the moment E moved production around and stock increased tenfold. He also keeps rehashing the same models so they've lost their appeal.

    Old Acronym grails were the best flips which is why they command the price that they deserve. You guys only showed me J47A-GTs that weren't even full packs and at best, 7/10 condition so I'd say my earlier comment still stands as valid. Have any of you actually seen them at yahoo auctions? Might wanna check the archived posts because you will not find anyone selling these jackets for less than 3k in flawless condition. The only recent pieces that actually had a "grail" aura around them were the j47a-ws and the j28-ws. Both of which were only dropped on the main site (as grails should). GL finding either of those for less than 3k nowadays.

    And speaking of grails, if you guys can find me a brand new J28-K blue/grey size S in flawless condition/zero delamination/full pack, I will personally send $1000 as a finder's fee, $2000 for the purple variant. But I'll save you guys time, because none of you won't... just like how a perfect 10/10 full pack J1TS-S in black or RAF will never be sold for less than $3k.

    Legacy Acronym products will just keep appreciating just like how collectible sports cards are, which I must point out... is a way better side hustle than flipping these NG4s for a measly $200 profit. I know some of you Mickey Mouse acronym resellers in your various slacks and discords (i.e. "cook groups" ) are reading this so save your energy and go back to shoes and consoles.

    Hating from outside the club lol

    Of course not, those dropped 4 years ago.

    FYI expect to pay 3k for Acronym grail pieces of yore... maybe 4k in excellent condition; prices aren't common for archival flagships either, I've paid about the same for J47A-GT 9.5/10 condition two years ago.

    Grailed listings aren’t indicative of the resale market as a whole by any means lol

    WTB (updated for sizing):

    P24A-S small, RAF

    P10A-S Medium, RAF

    3A-MTS6 

    J72-AK small

    SM1-AM (the FW '17 shemagh )

    Good luck finding either of those in RAF, but there’s no need to size up or down in either of them ime. If you’re one size you’re that size in both those pants. It’s gets tricky when you switch fabrics. And if you’re a sz small in the 24a’s due to length just give up on the p10’s. I’ve learned the hard way that I can’t wear certain season P10 in DS due to this. They never look good over/undersized. The most finicky ACR pants hands down.

    It's still available on the mothersite. Unless you're trying to avoid customs... 

    I’ll def buy new in a week or two if nothing pops off in here. It’s less a money thing and more a how big is my goddamn carbon footprint lately.

    Do you get the same issue with P24A pockets? They look positioned further back, but the opposite issue would be sitting on your pocket contents if they fall to the back.

     The 24a’s ride higher up on the leg than the 38-DS. Same style of pocket tho, and feel great. The 16A/32 pockets tho are the best cargo pockets on any cargo centric pant hands down. The contents shift back when standing and forward slightly when sitting. The load is always carried in an appropriately ergonomic/anatomically forward manner.
