Genuinely curious, what are the profit margins on ACR pieces (AKA how much does Errolson *or whoever also has a stake in the company* take home per J1A-GTKP sold)? I've heard speculators say that it's around 200 to 300% but that would mean it costs them around 400-500 to make a J1A. Is that even possible given the number of details on the jacket? How about operating costs (like the website, which has extremely compressed images that look terrible lol), customer service (maybe just Ian and some intern at the CZ factory), studio costs (Berlin ain't cheap), and lastly designing costs (Umit, Ian, and Errolson salaries)? 

I'm not a business-side expert, so it would interesting if anybody here could help try to break down the ACR business model, thanks.

Unless you are a patternmaker, or someone with connections/ heavy experience in apparel manufacturing  -- justifying the price by garment construction is pure speculation. Believing the garment is actually extremely costly to be produced to rationalize the fact that it is expensive for you to buy.  

As @beepy mentioned, Tilak coats that were previously made in the same exact factory as ACR's with identical construction in many cases, and Poutnik's GTX line was/is still sub  $500.  Yes other factors affect price, but not so much that ACR's jackets should be anywhere close to 3-4X Tilak's 

Funfact -- most of acr's cropped pants over the years (p17, p23 , p25, p27) can be made in a small fraction of the time it takes to produce most of their jackets, but are still around the 1100-1200 mark. Simple patterns do not equal a proportionately lower priced product.  We are paying the large upcharge on the fact that it is Acronym, not the complex garment construction 

IMO when it comes to price point, beside the cost or margin or development etc. Price is determine the value of Brand
You can make a simple social experiment try put two same items with same quality but one price is higher than another one and ask people to choose, average people will always take the expensive one because they believe it's more valuable

i believe if ACR sell at $500 it will sell like crazy and they can get a lot of money but how about the value of the brand itself, maybe we will see ACR like same other brand nothing interesting nothing luxury nothing exclusive

recently i watch MKBHD youtube about apple who sell a wheel for mac about $700, the point is why apple sell a wheel for that price even more expensive than the new iphone SE? the reason is to tell the consumer, apple is a brand that more valuable or luxury than any other brand

I need some sizing advice in regards to Acronym jackets. I'm gonna use that Death Stranding J1A-GTKP as a base to reference this off of.  I'm about 5'8", fit build. What size would be best for my body type? I'd like it to fit similarly to how the DS jacket looks on Errolson and/or the guy in the J1 unboxing YouTube video posted a few pages back.

 

I’m 5’5” use size S a little bit long on the sleeve but i’m sure for your height will fit you perfectly 

WTS P25-DS size S SOLD
