Happy to pay the wholesale price for a j1wb-e without all these spike tapes.

Win, win win!

J123A collar looks good, like the wide profil look.

It looks like nerd jacket. E-J4TS is much better than this. Really disappointed. 

Agreed. I bought one! I never wear it. It looks like a nerd jacket!

True, you can put all sorts of stuff in the pockets, but it distorts the jacket and makes it look even worse; I would rather use a messenger bag.

I think using the TEC SYS grid is fine as long as you don't intend to zip the jacket up, which I personally never do

TLDR; SSENSE Ships Fake Acronym.

On 11 February 2024, I purchased a pair of Black P30AL-DS pants in XS from SSENSE, which was subsequently delivered to me on 19 February 2024.

However upon receiving the pants, I realised they were clearly fake. 

1. The entire design of the pants is incorrect - wrong pockets, wrong length, wrong cut...

2. The texture feels nothing like the DS material on my other Acronym pants

3. The packaging is completely wrong
4. The size tag inside didn't even have a XS option on the label.. They sent me the pants in size S

 

I've attached the relevant photos (which I had also sent to SSENSE) and video of the packaging comparing the pants with another P47 that I had received to show how different they are.

 

But when I contacted SSENSE about the issue of them sending me a fake item, I received this response:

'My name is Jessica; I am a Product Specialist here at SSENSE.

 I'm sorry to hear that you received the wrong size in your recent order, and I understand that the presentation of the item you've received has raised some concerns regarding its authenticity. I am happy to address these concerns!
 First, I would like to mention that it is nearly impossible that an inauthentic item would have entered our inventory at this time, as our warehouse is highly surveilled at all times. However, I understand that you have some concerns regarding the quality of this 241368M18800100 ACRONYM® Black P30AL-DS Cargo Pants Upon checking, this unit is from the 2024 Spring/Summer collection, supplier code: P30AL-DS.
 I having had the chance to examine a unit of this style in person, I can confirm that all of the production specifics of your unit match manufacturing. I completely understand that online purchases always come with a reasonable degree of skepticism. We want to make sure that you purchased the right item - I'd like to reassure you that your item is 100% authentic. 
 In order to resolve this issue, please return the wrong item to us using the enclosed return label. Once we receive the item, we will process a refund for the purchase price of the item. To receive the correct item, we kindly ask that you place a new order on our website. I apologize, we are not able to offer direct exchanges at the moment.'

1. I think there's a chance that their entire stock of P30AL-DS is fake, if the product specialist ''had the chance to examine a unit of this style in person, I can confirm that all of the production specifics of your unit match manufacturing'
2. Either that, or SSENSE is blatantly selling fake pants to their customers.

I've reached out to Acronym on this, hopefully they're able to help sort this out with SSENSE... and frankly, SSENSE simply issuing a refund is just disappointing at this stage.

Sorry you had to deal with that. I’ve stopped shopping on ssense for the same reason. It isn’t just acronym either. Their inventory is full of fakes. They almost never side with you either. It’s kinda crazy.

obviously fake as you've correctly pointed out, and that bag is literally what taobao reps (for any brand) come in

[Yan90]

3. Someone (ssence/shipping service employee) simply replaced the og P30AL-DS with an ancient fake of the P30-DS during the order preparation/shipping + added paper ssence tag on them. 

[leg]

This is a well-known scam: you order an item, ask for a return due to the wrong size or whatever reason, and then send them one you bought on Taobao. SSENSE simply can't legit check every item due to the sheer volume of shipping and returns. Chinese shops have started combating this by putting unique stickers on washing tags that are very hard to remove. SSENSE is not selling fake items on purpose, that's for sure.

[bboysparrow]

Yeah unfortunately you have a chance to see this in any industry.  Had a friend that bought a $1,500 RTX 4080 Graphics Card and when he opened the box it was another model entirely.

May you please highlight differences between real and fake DS fabric? I'm on the fence with a P41 I recently bought and being it my first DS I don't have anything to compare to.

[Sureal]

A late observation, but the jacket Lenny is holding up in the J1WB shot is tagged S, but the description says shown in size M. Theres no way the description is wrong, yea? heh

[agentbuca]

Quite surprised by the cost of the J1WB - thought the E material would keep the price down a bit. For the sake of 55 Euro surely people would pick the J1W-GT over this?

[teethlikeknives]

People are specifically avoiding GT jackets because they are not wearable every day.

Also looking for someone who doesn't love their J105 size XS

They’ve never messed them up before…

[worksinprogress]

What was the euro MS retail on the J1-E? 
 

edit just seen a L pop up 1850 euro / 1550 without taxes for us UK buyers.

Only 1 retailer stocking this one it seems here, missed it!

Lmao nah copy always has at least one error (SP38-M’s desc. lists it as SP38-E)

I'd appreciate a short review of the J36-WS as soon as anyone gets their hands on it

[jeddyhsu]

Mine is coming in soon but honestly already having second thoughts lol. What‘s the point of all the exposed/extra velcro? Definitely unnecessary on the flak pocket, collar, and sleeves.

Already had a friend try one on. Said fit was similiar to S version, and collar was floppy.

It’s to attach the spikes to that you’ll inevitably forget about when you take it off. Gonna be very surprised if peoples don’t fuck up their gear with those things lol

[segue]

originally wasn't going to cop anything this season but went for the j36 in black and p17 last minute. will say I'm pleased with both. the p17s are extremely light and comfortable, for some reason (not sure why) I was expecting it to be the same weight as my p31s but they're lighter due to not having cargo pockets. Will likely be wearing the living shit out of these. j36 is just what i expected. yeah the velcro on the pocket seems excessive but i find that it gives it more shape making it easy to utilize the pocket had there been no velcro to support the extremely thin windstopper.

I refuse to add spikes on either of these and find the added weight is unnecessary. I will likely get a lot of use from both pieces which is what i wanted since my gt shells sit in my closet year round 99% of the time perpetually.
