Over time, looking at Acronym and Techwear as a whole, I've been having higher preference over fit's and not costumes. What can bring people into the brand/genre is the certainly the functionality and quality, but the first experience is usually the tech ninja hypebeast look that may have been popularized in 2016ish. Straps, pockets, military. This may or may not be related to the overkill you're thinking of.

I don't mind full ACR fit's when it gets a bit more simple. Do you really need the P23A's when you aren't even utilizing the capacity on those or your J28? Maybe the standard P23 would be sufficient for that use case.

Nowadays I go for different ACR pieces than I normally would have back then. I think that's why the P39-M was so popular even though it's so "pedestrian", although the cheaper pricing may also have played into that. You can also look at the sales of the recent LA6B-DS. There is definitely a time and a place for going full on display, but I like the hidden capability Greyman aesthetic where its more subtle and that can still be achieved with majority ACR.

Another point of consideration is if you're going to be spending a significant amount of money on a single jacket that it may as well be the more outlandish ones because otherwise you would be purchasing cheaper from a different brand, but I digress...

Anyway here's some "normal" fits that are full ACR and aren't overkill imo.

 

(didn't wanna go only tapered)

Agreed, there are definite lines between function, art, and cosplay. These lines are clear and must be respected.

Definitely less extreme pieces. All acr does feel a little overkill at times. Usually pair it with basic like visvim, ce, Uniqlo blanks 

Outlier, some Veilance, a sprinkling of One Golden Thread, Visvim, and even a few pieces from Enfin [heresy on this site, perhaps]. American Vintage has good basic slub T's and whatnot. Also, Haven.

Little late, but for dream jacket makeups, I'd adore a J97 in Merino wool. That would be the perfect travel layer -- warm, breathable, odor-resistant, etc.

How do I vote this up 9x

Shell: J56-S. Basically ACR's version of the M65 Field Jacket. Timeless piece for the modern age. I love Stotz jackets. IMO, GT is just overkill in different settings.

Liner: J65-WS. Bury me in this vest. I love it. Feels like I'm wearing a cyberpunk tunic/body armor. Although it lacks full-length sleeves, I think it mediates internal warmth well for the climate I'm in.

Pants: P17-DS. I've lost my patience waiting for a re-release of these joints. Great laid-back cut of pants while still maintaining ACR DNA.

Dream Item: J105-S. THE definition of wabi sabi. If you look up the history of the gakuran, there was a moment in time when Japanese delinquents would measure their level of badass-ness by how thrashed your gakuran was. Check out the podcast "Articles of Interest" for a more in-depth breakdown. I would be very disappointed if they never make this version. 

Shell, Dream, agreed. Pants: P17-CH would be my happy place. Liner: I love the AK series. Probably a minority opinion in this crowd but I prefer natural fibers. 

Thanks for the pod suggestion, I will check it out.

Everything checks out fine. Ask seller if it still has the velcro patches, hood and sling. Bag and tech sheet will be great.

I sold my SJ-11 @ grailed and posted it here too but damn not 5K!

The pieces are cool, it's a nice collection. But the prices are on the wrong planet

Anyone know what belt is pictured with P54 on MS? 

Wow. Those went fast. J O B getting in the way of my ACR hobby 

Edit: Anyone know if P24 or J72 will drop on retail sites?

Rofmia is really on another level in terms of craftsmanship, but the aesthetic is quite different

Agreed

thanks yeah, just super curious if this will release as i’ve previously bugged bagjack about them as well, would be nice to check it off my decade long grail list.

You must know about this already? https://www.eliminator.co.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=1284 

FWIW I have the Rofmia Backpack V2 and it is amazing.

Too good to be true it often is.

Good resource to check out sites that are not more obviously a scam, thanks. Hopefully these a holes don't get more sophisticated but I am sure they will over time. 

Longtime lurker, first time poster. So, I will start with this. WTF?
