Acronym.

[nesherman]

can anyone link me to that acronym archive (acrchive?) website? I can't find it. I'm thinking of buying a E-J4TS, anyone recommend it? Slightly put off that it's not goretex, but it looks pretty resilient all the same.

 

I like how unassuming this particular jacket looks, but then there's all those pockets and spaces underneath it.

Great jacket just be careful on the sizing on that one- it runs pretty small

[piece keeper]

There's still an archive, just not super complete: http://www.acronym.de/collections.php

 

In addition to that, Firmament is a pretty decent resource (usually just Google the item name + "firmament"): http://www.firmamentberlin.com/acronym/22476/e-j4ts_epic_amphibious_cotton_jacket.html

Can anyone comment on the 6S-C shrinking? Just got it and it fits great but I'm worried about how small it might get.

This jacket is a truly ACG item from my opinion.Epic runs light and can stand without losing the shape after long time use.

It can work with softshell inside(I recommend you pick one with hood). You can also wear is as office jacket with shirt,perfectly the 'veilance' appearling.

Yeah the sizing is a bit trick, considering this jacket as a bomber jacket will help.

Resource for the archive:

1 Boss's Instagram,Twitter. The best resource no doubt.

2 tumblr,Pinterest will have some random posts,and some dudes posts.

3 grailed,rakuten,eBay,yahoo jp. Some archive listed, random

4 retailers archive,Google model +firmament for example, official archive website

5 Sufu,and other forums, pieces but sometime you will find something real dope.

Hope this will help;)

Shit. A small fits perfect, so do I keep it and only dry clean it or swap it out and hope it doesn't stretch?

[awex]

If it helps I wash my S6-C on 30'c or less and then hang dry it in the shade, it may have shrunk a tiny bit but feels like it fits as new 

[jbob24]

mine shrank a ton the first wash, I ordered my tru size tho. That was from the original batch, not the Nemen produced version. I don't know if that makes a difference

[Igneousity]

Well shit, it's like wash machine roulette with like half a grand. Fucking fantastic.

[jbob24]

Yeah, sounds about right. I would say that if it fits u now and u don't wanna exchange: never wash it. Where'd U get it from?

[Igneousity]

Haven. I'm not sure what to do at this point, I'd really rather be able to treat it like a normal sweater than some art object.

[jbob24]

Yeah, I mean I do but I got mine cheap too so it's not terribly precious. Speaking from a place of love, the sweat is excellent and is worthy of being worn every day and trashed. Exchange that shit

[Igneousity]

Annnnnd it's sold out in medium. Welp.

[piece keeper]

The shrinking generally comes from heat, so if you wash with cold water (or hand wash) and just lay flat to dry I think you should be fine.

If you return something to acronym  I know you pay for all the shipping back (I'm in the US), but do you eat the taxes and duties you paid for the item?

Correct, you don't get those back.

[jishin]

Well, supposedly you can get them back but the process seems lengthy and painful..

Acronym have always refunded promptly on the rare occassions when I've returned stuff to them. Customs drawback is a whole other ball game though, but definitely worth applying for.

It's not just u, my pair does that too. The spot where they join the leather and the material in the back is directly beneath my ankle bone, and the way they're joined causes a raised area that scrapes the shit out of you. Very annoying...

As long as you wear socks it's ok, but seems like an incredibly poor design decision. The way the zipper is located and bends when your foot is in it require two hands to push it together and sometimes it catches on a small spot of leather beneath the lower half of the zipper. For such a nice shoe, these details start to ruin it. I'm wondering if they were rushed a bit more than the typical acronym product, as far as moving from initial design to finished product.

Outside of that, they obviously are very eye catching (white/red) and I get tons of comments and questions. They have their time and place.

 

Apologies for bringing up old posts, but this is very true. Walked outside for 10 minutes in these (wearing thin high cut socks) and got a cut/bleeding. Thick socks might help otherwise they're unwearable. 

[nesherman]

AFAIK for the US you have to dispute the customs charges before the item is sent back and they are not very timely about return correspondence.

Acronym for Deus Ex by Muster Brand? 

 

[Inkinsurgent]

i'm guessing it's the company behind deus ex that owns the rights to the design and not acronym?

[Bigyen]

P23ts-s Size s. 5-11, 180 worn high right below the belly button. Much happier with these than the p15's, the taper from the jersey hem make all the difference for me. I feel slight restriction in movement due to the sizing, but for me I'd rather pants that look right than pants I can do round house kicks in.

Have to admit I much prefer the oversize look rather than the fitted.

Good that you are happy though, it's a good deal of money for a pair of trousers.

I still would love to get them, but impending unemployment is dictating otherwise.

Maybe I'll get a pair if luck prevails in the new year.

RIP bank account

[Inkinsurgent]

so is it just going to be intermittent drops throughout the year from now on? because that'd be pretty cool

i assume this is because they had a minimum ordering amount when producing jackets for the futura montana event, so they have a bunch of unpainted hardshells to sell.
