What’s up guys, finally had enough time to post my P24A-S, SS18 that I had tailored. I was inspired by a pair of Stone Island pants from a few seasons ago. They were made with an inch of elastic placed on the back half of the hem. And with me being 6’2, my pin roll could only be two rolls high. Which led to the pin roll unraveling over a short amount of time. Unless I wore boots or high top sneakers, then I could roll 3 times and it wouldn’t be too short.
So after dealing with the sloppy roll for about a year, I finally researched someone I felt comfortable with; not only tapering them and adding the elastic, but also bringing in the waist a total of one inch. I felt even more comfortable after showing him the complexity of the pants and then him confidently stating the specificities of the work needed to be done. For the waist, he would have to undo the 2-3 layers of the reinforcement fabric and then simply cut and adjust from there (He said afterwards that was the most difficult part). For the taper, he started right under the reinforced knee and ended with a 5”/5.5” opening (I forget exactly). Either way it’s a pretty tight fit/taper. So much so, that without the elastic I wouldn’t be able to take the pants on or off. Which would make the referenced SI pants closer to a 6” opening.
Even after having my confidence built up enough to trust someone with a pair of $1000+ pants, when picking them up I felt a little nervous as to what the outcome was gonna look like. But upon first sight, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.
The up close details; the stitches, straight and clean, reinforced in the right places. The back of the waist band where he cut into, all of the layers of fabric look as if they hadn’t been ripped apart and then meticulously put back together. The joining of the elastic and cotton (even though I took my SI pants home with me) looked exactly like the joining on the SI pants. Oh and the kicker, I forgot to discuss this with him beforehand but he mentioned that he noticed how tall I was, so he didn’t cut any away from the hem. Simply just pressed, tucked and stitched down the existing hem, as well as the extra fabric from the tapered leg. That’s important to me because when it comes time to recycling the trousers, I can mention to the next owner that the leg can be reverted to original (but why would I give these up and why would YOU undo this perfect fit ;).
So as you can see from the fit pics, they drop perfectly now. Without any pin roll, the silhouette from the tight waist, down to the arched out hips and then slowly tapering down from there into the 5.5” taper, culminate into the perfect “wide” fitting pants. For me at least.
Tired of typing now, so if I missed anything I’ll edit. But if you live in NYC, my guys name is Atef and the company name is Tailoring NYC, highly recommend.
Enjoy the fit pics.
Not something I would want to do to my p24a-s, but definitely share your pain with the pin roll issue. Also the workmanship looks great, wish I had a tailor like that.

I love those pockets though, I haven't seen any other Acronym jacket with those side hand pockets hidden under a flap like that. Is there any particular reason, or is it just stylistic?
Isn't that the same as j36-s just different location?

There's always that one guy... bet you were expecting posreps instead huh?
When clout chasing backfires.

now why would you go and do that.....

Someone who has received his J36-S confirmed that it is made in Europe.

That is not my main concern, I have nothing against anything made in China. The main problem is that I have to pay around 30% more for duties if items are made in China vs tax-free for made in EU garments.
They dont look like p10a if that is any consolation....but it does look like they will ramp up production in china....which doesnt help your situation at all.

Several months in the wool has slightly pilled, nothing unexpected with boiled wool and given the texture it feels natural—it’s not distracting like you might find on some sweaters when the process happens. It feels like it’s “breaking in” a bit and isn’t so rigid. But I am babying it, so take this with that in mind. Might be able to see the texture better in the back shot.
it has aged beautifully. love the colours!

Thank you for your input, I did not know they run smaller.
my intial all goal was to purchase J47A in my size (which I cannot find) so the next best option would be the J47TS to buy as a shell jacket.
To clarify, the J47 variant is slimmer in general compared to say the J1s or J43a or J28 which fit straight. Not saying that J47ts fits way slimmer than 47a.

So I have been thinking of pulling the trigger on a J47TS-GT jacket that I found in my size, anyone here that owns one or has owned can give any input on the pros and cons compared to the J47A which I have been patiently waiting for to pop up for sale.
Basically with the 47ts you lose a pocket. I find 47ts very very tight and almost has no extra room for a liner. Don't really know what else to tell you because you haven't provided much else.

sorry for being that guy, but what was the final verdict regarding the new presto sizing? im pretty much exactly a US 11.5 so dunno whether to take a 11 or a 12.
11 for sure.

Those pockets are either defective at point of purchase or fine. Some of them were just missing some stitching like mine and they red-did them for me in the end.
Oh did they? My right pocket is missing some stitching too. I've been wondering if its worth sending it back to them just for that or get a local tailor to fix it for me.

Still here hoping J1A-PB comes out
Would probably be J1A-FO and next year if at all? Rather go for j63a and be done with FO.

Im 5'10", 80-82 kg. P10 fits ok only in S for this height. Thas why in L size they looks ugly (articulated knees are in the wrong position). P10 DS in medium looks bad, but in size S - perfect.
CH defenetly isnt looks slimmer than DS. Cuz of more dense material CH have more pronounced and "rigid" stacks.
This is weird. I am the same height and weight and Medium fits perfect for me in P10-DS.

"Outsourced" is not the word you want to use to justify a price hike...
why not? If he's paying someone else to get the job done properly? Or should I have said something like "Customer service improvement"?
0 -
This is just an observation/speculation more than anything - orders from mothership have been coming from CZ and their customer service has gone next level. This probably means that E has outsourced warehouse operations & customer service? Couple that with fair wage for employees, the price hike is justifiable.

Strange, was 1pm EST here in the USA. A lot of sizes were available for a few hours on the SNKRS app
I don't think that means you can cart. I know quite a few people who couldn't get a pair. I was trying on EU release and it was the same.

Even when I am all for tDR typography I find the vapormax pair ugly. There are 3 different futuristic same, but different typefaces (and helvetica) that do not go really well together, there are two acronym logos on each heel and a logo on the sole. The shoe does not say ACRONYM in a design way but screams ACRONYM in graphic design way.
Sure hype will be great because it literally says YOU ARE WEARING ACRONYM without spending 1400EUR on a jacket.
Soon there will be EVEN MORE hype on the shoes because the jackets will be 2000EUR and pants will be 1000EUR.
