  1. 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.
  2. Fortunately, it doesn't come in my size!
  3. Thanks! That's the one!
  4. 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.
  5. I miss the Cashmere products: KR-H1, KR-H2, KR-NG2, and especially KR-SM1
  6. 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!
  7. 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!
  8. 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!)
  9. 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.
  10. 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!
  11. It's a large and it's a little too big . . . an M would be better
  12. I just came in from walking the dog . . .hence the rosy cheeks! minus 12 celsius!
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
