Agreed. I bought one! I never wear it. It looks like a nerd jacket! True, you can put all sorts of stuff in the pockets, but it distorts the jacket and makes it look even worse; I would rather use a messenger bag.

Fortunately, it doesn't come in my size!

We should have contest with forum members nominating the ACR piece with the best hidden wash tag. I would like to nominate the ACR jacket from a few years ago that zipped up the back with a very long zipper lanyard! I will try to find out the specific model number and edit this post when I do.

I miss the Cashmere products: KR-H1, KR-H2, KR-NG2, and especially KR-SM1

I have the same problem! They don't cinch down very well at all. I bought some shorts with the same cinching system and it works really well on the shorts. However any long pants I have bought recently are hard to cinch down and I am afraid to "Reef" on them for fear of damaging the system!

I discovered Acronym many years ago purely by accident. I was looking to buy a messenger bag and I did a Google search for "recommended messenger bags" and found an online article mentioning the Acronym 3A-5 (I can't remember the precise model #) It was the version with ACRNYM silk-screened on the bottom in bold white letters and the pull chords were red. I still have it, and it is in mint condition because I liked it so much I bought a plain 3A-5 to use as my daily driver instead. That led me to ACR jackets and trousers and accessories. (My wife keeps saying: "How many jackets do you need?) I always used to buy black versions of everything. When they brought out Alpha green, I didn't like it at first and avoided it. But then one article of clothing I wanted was only available in Alpha green. Now I buy everything in alpha green if available! 🙂 Incidentally, the boots I am wearing are Acteryx and the colour is almost a perfect match for ACR Alpha Green. The Messenger bag was the 3A-5TSR!

I have many shortcomings but that is the first time I have been called a menace! (other than by my Mother when I was an urchin!)

I washed mine (according to the instructions on the white label) to see if that would soften it up but it didn't make much difference: Instructions said not to tumble dry. My dryer has a cold setting so I was tempted to try that but I didn't. I may try the cold tumble dry later.

Thank you! I was walking my dog in the park yesterday and a man asked me if I was "Special Ops?" I thought he was kidding around so I said "Yes." After talking to him for a few minutes, I was not sure if he was a joker or just crazy!

It's a large and it's a little too big . . . an M would be better

Yes! I sold it to a friend! Here are some pics of me wearing a Medium with a J91 as a liner. As you can see it's still roomy!

I am away right now with a different jacket, but I will post some images tomorrow. I am 178cm and 90kg and a I wear a medium and it fits loose even with a J91-WS as a liner. I would not go larger than the medium for sure; in fact you could wear an S comfortably.

I bought a J115 and I sized down 2 sizes from an XL (my typical ACR size) to an M. It still fits a bit big even with a J91-WS underneath. I could have downsized to a S and still had room for a fleecy or hoodie or jacket underneath. It is a very excellent jacket but when they say it fits Wide . . . It fits wide!!! You should be able to wear a small without a problem.
