Finally—some news!

Alrighty folks, the first customs item is in and I've been slapped with a 30% duties tax on the S21-DS.  Time to pull up the tariff codes and broke boi the SDF folks for a refund.

Can you post a review when you can? Been eyeing that one.

Asked him once and he said fabrics were made in Switzerland, yes. Czech construction, mostly.

We're already pushing the envelope in terms of release date, so who knows? Could be September the way things are looking.

Try wearing P26! Same deal except more brutal zips.

First time I tried them on at the store I got a little cut on my hand from sliding them in. 

But doesn't everything ship out of Czech Republic now? And I figured the AVM stuff was basically handled already.

Wonder why it's taking longer than usual then since they don't have a bunch of other retailer orders to fulfill.

Are we still getting a SS18 drop or is that abandoned?

do we have an ETA on the ss18 drop? not the shoes.

Maybe ask on the FB group, too. Guys who seem to know stuff occasionally drop bits of info.

Optimism is expecting anyone to read that.

Maybe he's trying to say that its still a vapormoc but looks nothing like that? That render is just... ugly. 

Yeah that's what I was getting at. KDCA is usually pretty spot on with their sources, so I do believe it exists, just not in the form it took in that render.

Some early hint as to what we might be seeing.

So with the upcoming LF1's—size down by half or full size?

Maybe taking SS18 off from garments and doing a “bag & modular” season is just the thing E needs to get some fresh new designs cooking.

Has it been confirmed somewhere that they're doing just the bags and modulars?

Man, looking at this, makes you realize just how small scale Acronym is.

Pretty sure E's take home from Acronym is very minimal.  Looking at the complexity of product, COGS, logistics cost/qty, I can somewhat understand the pricing.

Really? How bizarre, I thought they were the same as the P17s but with those leg cuffs sewed on to the bottoms. 

Ordinary P23 pants have loops, but these just have the internal belt system like the P25.

How about this: I'll give you a pair of Prestos in XS if you sell me a pair of these. No joke.

Why has no one taken this deal up yet holy

Union up

Saw that too. How does ‘bot detection’ work? Doesn’t the checkout process look same? Marketing?

Probably orders that come in "too fast"?

Tried on the 58, p23ds

Tell us everything you remember about the P23A, please!

The P10A-CH making an appearance makes me want to believe but I won't let myself get hurt again.

Any idea why the price of the J28 is so high this season? Wayback machine has the original at 950 euros, and Phaeton and Peggsandson pricing suggests that it'll be 1350 euros this time around. I get that it's been a few years and there is way more hype this time around, but that its more than the PB jackets that just released seems a bit odd to me (maybe PB isn't as fancy as I think).

Still curious about P23-S pricing, doesn't look like it was listed in the Phaeton pricing leak.

If production issues/labor laws changing are true, then maybe they're pricing it higher to accommodate for smaller runs.

Yep your right there - can confirm that. My source here says similar - 'I hear SS18 will not be with suppliers', but went on to say 'bags could make an appearance'.

So maybe, acrnm.com will offer something, but suppliers won't etc.

Nice! Wonder what changed—your source seems to be spot on all the time.

around SS18

As in when SS18 would usually occur or there's been a minor miracle and a SS18 is coming?
