  1. This gonna be a rare time I’ll give you space in my brain @Orientalq

    Go at fucking E about this shit on insta or Twitter whatever. You think peeps in here don’t follow him on both and don’t have an understanding of his politics at this point ffs? 

    I realize I’m giving you airspace by appeasing your obvious need for something akin to a father figure, but damn dude you don’t need to base the entirety of your online personality around a constant need to both push against whatever passes for an ever changing cultural zeitgeist in our small group of enthusiasts while simultaneously requiring affirmation of your beliefs by belaboring very obvious constants. 

  2. Another little know fact (apparently) is that DS comes in various fabric weights, for different garment applications. Seasonal temps/conditions being one application, durability being another.
     

    The S15-DS for instance, is much lighter weight than the DS used on the 2018 P10-DS, or the P32’s. I’ve found that the lighter weight breathes more than the heavier weight oddly enough...

    What's the appeal of the DS tees or tank? Not particularly breathable, drape is whatever, stretch is moot, presumably smells bad when you sweat?

    Pants shorts and bomber looking dope, not sure about the hoodless j1a tho, carrying a hat around clipped like that seems like a pita

    S15-DS isn’t sweaty. And it does have stretch. Maybe change your diet so you don’t smell so bad when you sweat? lol

    You don’t HAVE to clip the hat btw. There’s a big pocket on the front of the jacket. And other ones it’ll fit into;)

    I will not worry about that. After last restock I believe the demands on P30A are nearly fulfilled. I don't see any reason this new drop will sold out instantly. Also I personally feel that this new variation does not have that much hype as it's first show 2 years ago. P38-E looks more interesting than P30A this year for me. 

    It’s not the the exact same pant and it’s being released in different colors so I wouldn’t be surprised if the hot sizes sell fast. There’s almost for certain going to be more stock in general but there was also more stock of the 3a-2 sooooo...

    Thoughts on the P38-E vs GT?

    I’m partial towards the P38-E because I can’t imagine a GT pant being comfortable in anything other than cold weather, but the contrast zipper on the E version doesn’t really appeal to me.
     

    Also, my assumption is the team found a way to stave off GT de-lamination, but that’s just a guess. 

    I highly doubt it’s GT 3L

    I dont browse SF much these days so will be a bit slow to respond but I'm serious with any afformentioned deal, send DMs.

    Wts needs prices listed according to bst rules

  8. Multi reminds me a little too much of those paint by numbers Star Wars kits with the glow in the dark paints from the early 80’s crossed with Aliens(TM) aesthetic

    but not in a good way

    Yeah, was kind of annoyed when I learned the J28-WS doesn't feature a two-way zipper. Thought it would've been typical by now since every other acr jacket I own has it.

    Still wish the last iteration j36 had one

    The flak pocket as partial closure is great don’t get me wrong, but sometimes I want just the hem to break a little

    -CH on p10-ch SS16, p10a-ch FW1617 is a bit thicker than -CH on p16a-ch, p10a-ch from FW1516. 

    Yah, my P10a’s are the 16/17 and def very sliiiightly heavier doing a side by side. My P10 pair are at work right now, but I’d swear they’re the same weight as the 16a’s... Maybe I’ve just beat the shit out of them at this point lol

    DS is definitely the most comfortable of their current fabric offerings but it does get a bit too hot in summer.

    The old CH fabric (both the industrial micro twill and schoeller shape) is even better though - although it's also less water resistant.

    I just copped a pristine pair of P16a-CH a couple weeks back. After wearing my p10-ch regularly for the last 5 years, it feels fucking majestic walking around with like twice as much fabric lol

  13. Ya’ll need to learn how to write shit that doesn’t sound like you’re trying to get into MIT after being passed over for a scholarship. This shit isn’t that important and it’s a lot more fun when you take it less seriously and the ‘reviews’/ ‘feedback’ reflect that.  This is luxury cosplay ffs. It’s fun clothes that sometimes do what it says it will. But always costs too much no matter what because it’s luxury. You can buy non-objectively better ‘performing’ pants/shells for a third or less of the price lol. I used to try and excuse the amount I spent on it too by rationalizing whatever feature blah blah blah. You can see my dumb shit on this very forum some years back (as well as my other dumb shit over the years). It’s expensive clothes that are really fun to wear and fun to look at and geek out over. But this need for quantification just kind of takes the fun away from it imo.
     

    At the very least- treat your review less like a fucking term paper and more like a: Hey I ran around in this shit and wore it and this is what I do in my dumb life and this is why I like it/hate it. (Which is impossible after owning the item for two days lol.) Turning everything into a bullet point style word wall is just fucking boring and lifeless. And honestly takes away from the brand imo. Half the fun of ACR is learning little weird nuances and stuff. It’s oddly exciting not knowing exactly what you’re getting yourself into.( That’s probably going to come off as a privileged take. See my comment above about luxury. )

    TLDR/Brevity I guess I just don’t like stemlords lol

    P38-GT in Alpha Green from Errol's Insta Stories. Gotta love those black zips compared to the silver.
