Hi all,

The V68-PL came in today, and since I'm probably the only person who purchased it, I thought I should post a review.

Quality & Materials: It's MIC, but much better crafted than other MIC items I've had (P31A-DS, SP29-M, etc.) The fabric appears to be the same as the one used in the 2019 version, which is a plus for me.

Size: I bought my usual XL before the sizing chart was added to the product page and it fits pretty much as expected – slightly oversized when worn over a shirt and TTS over a hoodie. My XL is slightly smaller than the V91 in L.

Price: It’s a bit bland since it doesn't have any new features (even V91 had hidden chest pockets). Ideally, this should have been a retail release – a 30% discount would make it a much more appealing purchase IMO.

It s from Czech Republic operated by UPS usually. Price is pretty high, but I guess it s because it comes with free return. 

The delivery slowness however it s unexplainable. They can do better on this side, for sure.

 

is it true about free returns?

What's strange is that it's not appearing on the main mothersite page for me. But with a quick Google search, it reroutes me to the specific J33 page. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? I wonder if there are other products hidden...

I'm going through the acr phase at the moment and only ask for size consistency). I'm fine with all other shit (surprise drops, bots, resellers, subnet, prices, botched releases, etc.) but there is just no reason why people should gamble $2,000 on a size. This frustrates me to no end.

It did make me feel slightly better, but with Engineered, Bronson, or pretty much any other brand the cost of sizing error is not high. Worst case you'll reorder. Acronym, however, is a different story. The chances of me getting anything worth buying on the release day are quite low. Chances of getting something that will actually fit me are close to 0)

not that i can recall. with the exception of some barbour jackets and the occasional MIJ shirt, i've never really had issues with sleeves being too short. if anything i tend to have the opposite problem.

Now I'm even more confused... Are there any general sizing rules for acr jackets? It seems they are all over the place

i haven't owned any acronym since 2012, but back then i had one shell in a S. i'm 6'1 and was probably 72kg at the time.

And sleeves length was not an issue?

Anyone knows how j44-sd fits? It looks slim and long based on the measurements. I'm 6'2 but pretty skinny so I wonder if a small (52cm p2p, 75cm back length) would be enough…

I'm also 6'2 (189 cm) and happen to own a J44-SD in XL. It fits fine as I'm on the heavy side (~90kg), but the sleeves are a bit too long for my taste. Since you are skinny I would assume you should go for M or L. Also, now interested if there is anyone here who is around 6'2 and rocks any acr shell in size S?

nice shout but iirc isn't this above the og rrp?

Nope! It was the same in 2018 - €250 in Europe - at least according to my receipts. So this may be that rare occasion when Acr rereleased something after two years at the same price
