If you ever worried about the oxidization of buttons...  Experiment from a friend. 

Big shoutout to @lehadrakon for a smooth trasaction! Really love the S-J7!

Feel like J1 is getting a little old & complex these day.

I'm sure most ppl,including myself, wound choose J1 as first acr jacket because it is the combination of many iconic acr elements. 

I do enjoyed these [tricks] of J1A for a while and then noticed some problem such as the hard to reach chest pocket, the little tight new collar design (starting from 2.2),  interops & WR zip gravity pocket which I may use once per year, and the "feels like I need another airpods next day" forcelock...

To say, each newer version do have some updates like flip gravity pocket, tension zip and wider fit for insulation etc. Not sure if it's me being weird that want a cleaner and simpler jacket rather than a "over engineered" project like complexity...

I've worn my P38E for a while since this summer and it feels a little softer than the new P30AE I just got. Can't tell if the material or structure that makes P38 sounds quieter than P30 when walking.

P23TS-S RAF size M, pants only, 8.5+/10

Pics coming shortly.

P34-S RAF,M 

P34-DS BLK ,M

P41-DS ,GRAY ,M 

I tried to use DS cuff on E pant, feel less friction/limit. 

planning to use my E version for summer seasons and DS for winter/ fall. Most of the complain I have with E version is that the cuff design with this non-elastic fabric really limits the overall movement, tested again without cuff and feels all good. 

One last bitching... P30A-DS 1.0 and P30A-E 1.1, both MIC.

What was the issue w J68 beyond the size tag like everything else? Never saw anything except them peeling. 

Sorry I didn't make that clear. I was trying to say, as ppl already mentioned on SUFU, some MIC items are having issues that not usually seen before. like the size tag peeling on 68pl, the collar stitching defects on J1A-GTPL, and the new shitty size tag on P30AE... Those signs of cutting corners on details might not affect the whole integrity or function of a garment, but it might go wild if the brand just choose not to see it and let it happen.

what's the story behind that?

basically a shop make fake popular acr models and use a [different name tag] to sell.

Did you mean the size tag mistake on j68pl with dat mysterious word "ninjawarning"? 

yeah I know this taobao fake shop, they've made J68pl, J1B, P30A and they have J79 fakes on the way so be aware ppl 

Thanks guys.

Ah... another hit, lower quality, same price (with tax)

Wanna ask US ppl how much import fees for your P30AE from mothersite? 

UPS trying to charge $174 for that and I only paid $110 for P38E, which is $300+ more expensive than P30AE... Not sure if warehouse got wrone code? 

It seems like the direction of acr brand is in a dilemma. They want to make larger quantity in lower cost to expand the influence by using chinese factory, the idea is ok. However this actually seperated the brand into two lines by price and accessibility. For new customers, the main resource for them to try their first acr garment is likely to be the retailer all around,  which provide lower price MIC products. And the bad thing is, how will they know there is such diffference bt MIC and MIE? Or how many of them will actually realise there are two "levels" of product, which all looks the same, under the same brand with similiar fabric and name, but different price and build quality?

But just like mentioned in the beginning, it's a dilemma. If they want all products, no matter MIC or MIE, to have the same level of quality, the advantages wont show obviously on price and productivity. Or if they create a sub-brand like ACR ESSENTIALS, that cheaper product prob can't share the fame and popular models from ACR brand. But either way is better than guessing which season's, or which specific MIC model will be good or bad everey time, it's that uncertainty makes people feel bad. 

Guess I would call that fake if I dont know it's directly from mothersite... That tag and stiching, really no better than fakes now. The first MICs, like P30A 1.0, J1A 2.2 and GTKP are very good, but starting from J68PL the quality is getting worse each season.

for those who haven't been able to score a ng4-ps, i'd say be patient and wait. this isn't like a mothersite-only drop from 5 years back and since it's MiC and almost every retailer seems to have (had) it, resell prices should drop. 

Agree, it's easier imo if trying to check several retailer in your regions. It's easier to cop, and having much cheaper shipping rate if you are out EU. 

I'd like to share my thought that, for this level of quantity, flippers will and need to drop their price faster to get their money back if ppl stop buying for high price from them.

Every purchase that gets flippers profit will only make it harder for people who really want something in the future drops. 

E is increasing the quantity in recent years, at least it's one of the reasons, to stop flipping. And maybe we could help a little by simply waiting for a while and wait the price come to normal. 

Mothersite drop 2 up, nothing new but J16,J90,91, NG4,P41. 

Still waiting for coat drop. 

E is surprisingly comfortable as a summer/ warmer season pants material to me. I feel like even DS is doing great on moisture control, it's still too hot for summer in my area. Think I'll buy P30AE and keep both, the climate is getting weird these years...

E's recent post shown his wearing a coat very like J99-WS but seems having no insulation. Not sure if there will be a J99U-WS/GTPL or just another model number. Need a shell coat for this winter so it's picking that one or J93, hope I dont miss next drop. 

That looks like a structural reinforcement part that works with the slide-shape back heel to allow your feet to slip in easier, which matches the consistant idea with all other acr collab shoes, the easy entry and take off. 

WTT: J53TS-GT size S  [8+/10]  Full Pack

for

J61-GTV size S

J62-PB size M 

J82-WS size M

Prob super longshot but maybe someone out there wanna swap coat for the coming winter season like I do. 

The V5(?) on Lenny has a shinny back straps and edges in front view pics, very like the PX material to me. 

Compared with my 29px and I think they have the same structure, PX on surface and AD attached inside.

Some update, I still haven't recieve anything from acr team but UPS sent me an email says a package is arriving tomorrow so I guess they do shipped those orders placed before.
