I own some older pieces and some newer stuff.

How do people feel about stuff now being made mainly in China and pricing is going rather up then down?
I really like Acronym, but lately I sometimes can't justify the prices anymore.
For example the J91-WS for 1100€ has YKK plastic zippers, they feel really cheap and I'm not sure how long these will hold up.
It's never been cheap, but if I see some Shadow pieces I own, quality is really awesome and Made in Italy.
Just feels better in my opinion if it's made in the EU.

I think it would be cool if Errolosn would show a little transparency and let people know where the stuff is made exactly.
If the workers get paid well and the working conditions are good, that means a lot me.

FWIW my plastic j91 zipper holds up great:). I like how it feels, but that is just opinion of course.

Also, after owning for 1 year - I have to say that the J91WS is the BEST acronym jacket I have owned by far and I feel and look the best wearing it compared to j28, j1 and other grail type ACR jackets.  It surprised me and I am very happy about it.

also open to trades for P38-E XL (probably a long shot, but putting it out there!)

I have always found that when I wear my j28gt(17) in heavy rain, my legs often get really wet since the jacket is cut quite short.

Personally, I would see a lot of utility in the apron, but not enough to buy another j28 in place of my 2017 version.  

As a cyclist, I suppose the flaps might make sense, but I would be too annoyed by the motion of my legs hitting the flaps to ever use them.

SP29K. Should be Kurz (short) with an above-the-knee cut. The metal nylon material looks like something out of a Stone Island catalogue, but should still be sourced from Milliken

Which season are these? FW23 or SS23? 

Tried the P39M in person today.

I found myself thinking - "these are essentially the same as the pair of Dickies I wore into this store."

Then, I realized how much I love to wear my dickies - then when I went to remove said pants I thought to myself, "I don't want to take them off"

It was then, I knew....I would buy these expensive acronym dickies and enjoy them thoroughly.

-------------------------------------------------------

Material is light and flexible - as long as they are durable they seem perfect for Summer.

I have no idea where 2/3 of these internal pockets are....maybe someone else can help solve that mystery.

My only other pair of ACR pants are p24A-DS(and what a pair those are).  I don't often wear them in Summer - too heavy - these certainly fill a void.

----------------------------------------------------

TLDR - if you ever wanted Dickies but Acronymized...buy them.

 WTS J1A - GT 2.2  XL. 9/10 Full Pack.  Shipped/Sold from NYC $1,700

WTS

j-78 WS size XL (looks flawless, but 9/10) - USD $1,100

J1A-GT 2.2 impressions:

-mine is size XL

- Own J28-GT FW17/18 as comparison(also XL)

-Tried on several models over the past couple years, but I had been waiting 100% on a J1A to drop and wasn't going to settle for anything less

Jacket is unique, and while wearing it, it feels somehow on another level above 28,47 and other maximal acr shells.  I can't believe I'm saying it, but wearing it I feel like the jacket is worth about $2,000 and I'm not offended by the price tag(wish I didn't miss the import hack though......:/).  That being said, if I owned a previous model at 50 or 60% of retail I'm sure I'd feel differently.

The collar....is great and the styling is versatile.  With/without the hood and collar up/down/zippered....it totally changes the look of the piece which I really appreciate.

I'm not happy to own the first acr shell made in China.  I do think that this - more than the price increase which is more a product of supply/demand, and market/brand positioning - is just overall not a good feeling for the consumer and I agree with many of the points made here.

Fit/Build: 

-Body is longer than J28, J47TS(both in xl and gt pro)

- Lower body is wider than 28/47, it actually has a ton of room compared to the upper shoulder/chest area.......

-The shoulder/chest block of the body is a lot smaller than the j28gt, but still larger than j47TS.  I can layer tons under my j28, while I literally can't bend my arm while wearing j47ts gt because the bicep/shoulder area is so tight(I flat out can't wear that jacket).  2.2 is probably too small in the shoulders for me, but I'll make it work.  Sadly, I can't layer hoodies underneath this, and it's probably not going to be a go to on super cold days to wear over heavy/warm layers.

- Jacket feels a lot heavier than other shells.  I'm not sure why this is - more zippers??

- Even if I knew karate, there isn't a chance in hell I can do it while wearing 2.2, the mobility is really not good - at least for someone my size - but then again I'm actually pretty huge...ha

Overall:

Very happy, don't hesitate to pull the trigger if you get the opportunity.

Shoutout and +rep to @blakebru97 for a super smooth transaction.  Item arrived quickly exactly as described.  Excellent buying experience.
