I think in some cases downsizing works, as I learned over time on most items it’s not as there is always at least one part of the pieces which is not fitting when sized down. I will check anyways on the small one, if not I will let it go for a decent price or try trading for a medium

Thank you! I was walking my dog in the park yesterday and a man asked me if I was "Special Ops?"

I thought he was kidding around so I said "Yes."  After talking to him for a few minutes, I was not sure if he was a joker or just crazy!

[DeadHype]

Haha, a kid passed me a few days back and said to his dad that I do look like a Ninja, my fit was seemingly on point.
Same applies to you I guess.

To the untrained eye, this outfit really looks like something from the world of military BDU or Special Forces (how you look, of course, matters too: body build, facial expression, and so on).

Quick update on the j70 after a few wears and getting into a heavy storm downpour with it. Temperatures range between around 0-8 degree Celsius here at the moment.

The wool is starting to become softer and softer, in general it isn’t that stiff anymore and kind of becomes a piece with character as it molds onto my body a little. The feel of the wool is super soft and cozy now, yet it has structure. I would say it keeps a nice climate even with just a longsleeve underneath, it may gets a little chilly around the vent holes in harsh conditions. With a thin down liner underneath it maintains a good microclimate too.

Even if it can manage to handle a few droplets with limited bedding properties it isn’t made for heavy downpours. It gets soaked, really heavy and stiff within like 10mins of hard rain. Laying it flat to dry prevented deforming which may occur on wet wool in general.

Does anyone know any site has P30AL-DS size xs black on sale? Thanks in advance

i will say, surprisingly water resistant in mild to moderate rain, was walking and friend’s GT was water logged, but my BU was beading and didn’t soak in at all. 

collar is still a bit rough, still need to beat mine up more and soften it up

[DeadHype]

@DROVES wool is just og tech, I think it’s pretty cool how the BU material is also actually windproof, apart from the ventholes obviously.

I recently purchased the J117 on boxing day sale and I love it! The HL fabric is so soft and warm yet breathable. I love the mesh cuffs although I worry about the durability of the fabric. It is the same mesh used for some of the P30 / J56 internal pockets. The Zipper is super chunky and adds a nice weight to the piece. Because of the size of the zipper it does bunch up and make you look pregnant but slightly unzipping the bottom zipper fixes this. The back zip sling gives the hoodie a lot of structure and makes the J117 feel more substantial while wearing it.

Over all, this shit goated.

I washed mine (according to the instructions on the white label) to see if that would soften it up but it didn't make much difference: Instructions said not to tumble dry. My dryer has a cold setting so I was tempted to try that but I didn't. I may try the cold tumble dry later.

Tend to agree. Where did you cop? I unzip the bottom as well, makes the fit look way better. Also worried about the cuffs and babying them...

Overall, it's oversized in a good way.

@roofus you are a menace for throwing it in a washing machine. I brushed mine with a soft brush, this helped a lot with the touch of the jacket.

I have many shortcomings but that is the first time I have been called a menace! (other than by my Mother when I was an urchin!)

Been out of the game for a bit, when is the new drop supposed to drop?

[DeadHype]

@Ponga91 Should be around mid/end of march if I am correct.

I'm a big fan of P10A pants (finally been able to afford my first P10A-E last month 😎).
Would love some kind of light bomber or even a varsity jacket as well.

You ain’t getting wet in the J122-GT.

I am really not sure if the newer stuff is something for you then…

Yeah, probably. I'm open to look into other stuff as well tho.
What do you think it'll show up?

[Ponga91]

Late to the party but...
Never owned one and got the opportunity to buy at 40% off.
What do you all think about P23Q-DS of the size / cut / tech features / fabric / overall worthness?
For reference I own P10A-E in L and SP29-M in L (just a touch large on me but still good).

Yes! I sold it to a friend! Here are some pics of me wearing a Medium with a J91 as a liner. As you can see it's still roomy!

Man I absolutely love this fit and the full tonal Alpha head to toe. Also interested to hear more about how you got into Acronym and more about what you do and your back story!

Extremely hard to give advice like this but fwiw: I'd jump on this. I use mine FAR more than my P23A-DS. The Q has really grown on me and I do intend to pick up a second pair. Pockets are great, far more useful than A. Cut I think looks better on me than in most store pics, maybe because I'm 185 cm / 95-ish KG (6'1"/ 210 lb) and most models are far skinnier. If you have a lot of room in P10E then P23 might look ultra baggy on you.

DS is my fav pants material of all time, something you'll find others agreeing on through the history of this thread (but of course no universal consensus). I am personally not a fan of E, I have P10-E which I can't really fit into due to thigh girth (also had to retire 3 pairs of P10-S for the same reason) and P24A-E which are fantastic pants but I'd much prefer DS (missed all opportunities to buy those, sadly).

Of course this jacket drops like 2 days after I pick up a full length vintage Issey Miyake coat (sadly not waterproof, just fairly cool looking). It would be difficult to resist picking this up if it was in WS or E rather than GT.

@ukiro Thank you so much for your feedback 🙏
