Just brace yourself for the massive customs charge! 

This, but I wouldn’t use a forwarder unless they will mark down values to dodge import taxes, better off taking the hit personally. You can expect 20% Vat plus an import value, you can work it out by using the import com code given by ACR shop, those guys are helpful. All MS stock comes from Czech.
Make sure you get the right size as returns are costly both ways and UPS will deliver it or maybe lose it twice in my case. I asked for DHL in the end for safety.

Just expect the hit and really want the piece.

Can someone share their experience about the relatively new -CH (51% cotton, 44% polyamide, 5% elastane) on J111, P48 or P36?

How does it perform (overall durability, patina appearance, etc.) compared to the old version of -CH (54% modacrylic, 43% cotton, 3% elastane) on such items as FW14/15 P16A, FW15/16 P10A, SS16 P10?

Does anyone know the difference between J119-WS and J95-WS ? I've been looking at both pages for 5 mins and they look the same. Also buying in size M if anyone has it, hit me up.

J95 doesn’t have a hood.

J119-WS has Interops zip, different shoulder pattern, additional articulation at elbows.

I can't speak to durability yet but the newer CH seems lighter. Almost like E fabric but without the George Costanza effect. Older CH was more 3 season, newer CH seems more summer to me so far.

As i remember (sold my all old ch items 1-2 yrs ago) the new CH is soft, thin & light as old CH on my P10A FW15/16 and P16A & J40 FW14/15, all were in night colorway. But P10 SS16, P10A & P23TS FW16/17, have really thicher CH. 

Also new CH in black = old CH in night colorway.

as if things couldn’t get any worse…. volt 3a accessories incoming. smh

As long as you can still buy the regular one, it's fine, I guess. But I'm more disappointed about the jacket situation. Just look at the J47A, clean, refined, minimalist, yet unmistakably ACRONYM. Meanwhile, the J123TS looks like an abomination, randomly stitched together from different parts of the past.

This may be a silly question but can someone who owned or still owns the J27-GT describe how the hood should be stored away? This is the 19/20 version with the shake-dry hood. I just took mine out of storage after ages and couldn’t figure how it works. Versus the J28 with the 3D collar, the hood can be folded and held in place with Velcro but as far as I can tell there’s nothing like that for the 27? The shake-dry hood is super thin so rolls easily and be put inside the collar but there’s nothing to hold it in place but maybe that’s just how it’s suppose to be.
