? I thought these guys weren’t that visible!

SUPER excited for j29, or any blazer, return ... but PX is probably the least exciting material choice. While I love my j74, don’t really understand the insulated blazer decision. Especially seeing that SD.....

To me it’s a season the direction might to please the long term users. Those blazers and modified version of bdu p1 into that p34 right?

The problem is actually the dilemma here, honestly it’s not reaching my expectations as for those original issues: name the clean cut of j29 in ch and cotton(the details fade hard on px). New bees are definitely not the most potential users of these blazers, yet guys being wearing ss-j5 or l-j11 or l-v3ts, they gonna find the price hike and yet non obviously improvements.

For the brand itself it might take like 2 more seasons to relocate to sync with the whole situation. And if you really want some pieces  this season my advice is actually sit back to some sale chances( you know when these happen back in the days, similar situation)

Hood barely goes over my face and sleeves goes behind my wrist if I reach my hand upwards. Chest and tummy fits well though. If I size up will it look derpy? 

I know I’m late but wouldn’t hurt to size up tbh

Times changing, S/M sitting in stock for more than 10 seconds on both the flagship goretex pieces. thank god, let us suffer either high prices or impossibly fast selling out, but not both anymore.

[iamundying]

^ i think e's instagram being absent of any news is definitely helping. 

is that a tease of the new nike collab shoes that are heavily featured in the new drop? oops nm those are the a cold wall collabs.

so i'm guessing that this season will have two separate drops as there's still some stuff that haven't been uploaded yet

J61-GTV's description lifted from J61-GT, 10/10 quality

[DROVES]

Are we expecting another release in the next week or two with additional jacket/baselayers/pants? 

I really want to love some of the new pieces like the J29-PX, but I completely agree with the above, if it were a Schoeller DS with a polar lining I think it would hit the marks, but looking like a liner takes away from the the blazer construction especially with the thread tension on PX. It's a great late 80's blazer vibe and I'm into it, but I think I'm just waiting for the LA6B-AD...

I went to hotoveli this morning. Sucks for me, ACRNM is online-only for them now, but I was still able to get a NG4 ! and see the other pieces in person

• There is definitely a second drop coming
• J79 is wild, i'd look real hard at it if I didn't already have a J1A
• J77 fabric is incredible in person, but not at that price for me :'(

J44-SD raf looks ACE!!!

would like a J30 or J46 edit.

[TEKsevenZERO]

Would love a J40-L in XXL!!  That item is a lifer that will only get better with age.

 

[agentbuca]

Has anyone had the p10a-DS for a while now? I was wondering if the cargo pocket edges soften up / fold over to make them less prominent. Love my p10ts-DS but was put off the p10a-s as the squared off bit of material around the rounded zip left like I had a4 folders stuck to my legs.

[Kamikaze]

might be early but has anyone tried on the 79 in store? for a straight cut the measurements look rather slim if cut to accommodate a liner

That's the look.

@agentbuca is indeed the look as @Yardsale indicated. I can say that the corners are not as noticeable from all angles. From some they look really pointy and others they kind of blend in. It's a great styling cue IMO. It makes the pants look quite different as you walk past/around someone and takes them from "oh here are some tapered pants with pockets" into something really unique.

I usually wear a medium in ACR jackets. Was able to comfortably layer an insulator underneath the small with little to no restriction. For reference I'm 5'9 145lb. The medium was clearly too big even with an insulator for me personally.

It fits very wide, but it is controlled chaos. I would say it blurs the line between straight and loose.

I’m intrigued. I gotta check it out in person

Is it me or do those j29 measurements seem TIGHT!!

Some in-person impressions of several of the pieces from this first release:

J61-GTV: I have never been particularly enamored of any iteration of this coat, so I didn't bother to try this one on. Looked fairly similar to the -WS and -GT versions which I had seen / tried on during previous releases; obviously your mileage will vary if this is a style you like. Didn't look like anything drastically different from the earlier iterations to me, though. Admittedly I am not the right person to ask for details about this one.

J79TS-GT: This is a very boxy cut, much larger for the tagged size than I would have expected. My friend who usually wears L or XL in Acronym jackets could easily fit into the M on this; for my own frame I think it is a bit too large (5'9" 125lbs). The front pocket array is interesting, but doesn't feel like it would be as useful as the J1A to me. I did like the look of the hood, despite not usually liking jackets where it cannot be detached or stowed.

J29-PX: This looked better in person to me than in the photos. The fabric doesn't seem as translucent as the previous -PX coat, and the fuzzy lining in the body was an unexpected (and in my opinion, nice) touch. The collar in folded-down blazer mode is a little questionable given the thickness of the fabric, but I think it looks pretty great standing up, and I like the pocket array on this one. This was the one piece I actually ended up purchasing, though I was tempted by a couple others.

J65-AJ: I liked the general look of this pattern in the -AJ material quite a lot. The silhouette flares outwards noticeably in profile (not actually pictured in any of the official product shots), which on my frame looked a bit funny -- it's not a particularly even flare, either; it gave me sort of an artificial paunch. On someone with a sturdier build where this fits more tight to the frame, I think it would look really great, though. Definitely more interesting to me than the boiled wool versions of this jacket from the earlier season.

J77-AM: This was the piece I was most tempted to purchase aside from the J29. I tried it on over a black buttondown, and it looked great. The hood is not bulky at all, so I didn't mind it being attached to the sweater. My favorite detail was the shoulder pockets; they give it a bit of an aggressive silhouette without being over the top. I don't know how this would look with something other than a long-sleeve black shirt under it, and the price feels a bit too high for what it is, but I did quite like this one.

P34-*: I was a bit torn over this one. I tried it on in the -E fabric, which I liked a lot and thought was suitable for the pant -- I own a J33-E, which is a nice pattern, but I think the -E fabric probably works better for pants than jackets, though this is a personal preference. I didn't try on the -S version but probably wouldn't personally consider it, since I own a lot of pairs of Stotz pants and liked the lighter feel of the -E fabric. I also really liked the tapered silhouette of the ankle, which broke at just the right height for me wearing sneakers. However, the waistline on these pants is very large -- impossible for me without a belt, and if I unclipped my belt to go to the bathroom I'd have to carefully hold them up, which isn't something I'd really like to worry about in practice. I also found the cargo pocket array a bit overwrought and somehow uninspiring. I would be very interested in a version of this pant without the cargo pockets though (or at least without the zippered pocket on the left), and a smaller waistband for the tagged size.

NG5-AK: I didn't put this one on, but this was very soft and comfortable to the touch. It is quite wispy; seemingly moreso to me than the long -AK neck gaiter with the "2-part hem" from a few seasons back as I recall, though I could be misremembering. Kind of expensive for what you're getting though.

I didn't get to see the hat in person, but assuming it is the same fabric as the J65, I think it'd be quite cozy. I don't wear a lot of hats though, so I don't have strong feelings on the style.

how does it size? the measurements do seem rather small.

Yes, the J29 is definitely on the slimmer size in terms of the Acronym jackets I own -- probably the closest in terms of chest measurement is my J68-WS in XS. I was able to fit the J77-AM underneath it easily, but that is not a very bulky item due to the loose knit. I just tried it on over a much bulkier Iron Heart sweater (this, for reference: https://www.selfedge.com/iron-heart?product_id=1046) and could still button / zip up the J29 -- when buttoning it the fabric pulled noticeably at the center, though not straining it overmuch; when zipping it, it looked more normal, but definitely no longer "sleek" (I also was wearing a buttondown + tshirt underneath the sweater). If you were just wearing this as a liner and didn't really care about the style, you could probably take your normal size and still fit a sweater under it.

Since it's technically wool, do you expect any overheating issues or do the perforations offset that? I'm excited to feel the fabric in person. 

[hooper]

just realized hotoveli has Acronym's photos/descriptions of the upcoming FW1920 items (p33, j27, etc.).

SD is apparently an Acronym exclusive fabric. I'm excited to see more uses of this in tops and perhaps maybe trousers. source: https://www.hotoveli.com/collections/acronym/products/acronym-j44-sd-jacket

Agreed 100% about SD, and the J44 looks absolutely spectacular. That'll be an insta-buy for me-- the zippered 3 position lapel is phenomenal looking. A very versatile piece. 

[xc-mtb]

Pricing of j44 is not clear? The weight is a lot.

the zipper around the neck came out first time in 2014 the first time I guess. Was heavily discussed that time

I think the combination of wool + loose knit makes it fairly flexible in terms of temperature regulation. I only wore it for a few minutes, but when I just had it on over a merino buttondown, it added some noticeable but not excessive warmth. Layering it under the P29, I got the sense that the extra insulation would be more meaningful (combo of wool + trapped air), though I didn't keep both on for long enough to say decisively. Probably depends a bit on what you want to wear under it, but in "fall/winter"-type outdoor temperatures, I don't imagine you'd find yourself overheating if wearing it either as just a sweater, or as an insulating layer (when you presumably want to be warmer anyway).
