Yeah, not sure... they seemed a little edgy when asked a second time. I've got a suspicion that there's some confusion on their, ahem, "end".

It's never stopped them from jumping the gun and dropping 15 minutes before everyone else in the past. 

[Dolphinski]

End already confirmed it's not dropping.

me neither but after a phone call with andre yesterday where he confirmed that they got dropped by them I can assure you.

they didn't even put an order for FW because they wasn't informed via subnet mail and the possible order was passed over - sad but true

Wow this makes me irrationally upset, they go way back so this really blows my mind... my first ever purchase from them was during the Glade days and ever since then, I've always bought one piece from them out of tradition. 

Edit: Was looking through random receipts and found my 3A-MSOL1 purchase back in 2010... good night, sweet prince

Did they drop end because the outfits were so badly put together?

You are totally right, i tried on P23A Size Small, it loosen immediately when i take my first step. I am 29-30 inch waist. Without tightening, the waist of P23A is more than 40

update to this: if you move the 'bunches' of fabric that accumulate on either side of the buckles, they seem to work a bit better. the fabric bunching seems to not allow the buckle to lay flat (which is what locks the straps in place)

sum1 talk 2 me bout the built in tightening mechanism of the p23a and p25h lollllllllll

best feature: self loosens while you're walking down the street

i've had reasonable luck w/ "locking" the buckle by pulling the inside of the buckle outwards (vs. pulling the outside of the buckle to loosen). spent like 10 minutes this AM fucking around with it.

10 minutes well spent.  So is this an actual thing?  An official P25/P23A negative.

I wouldn't look at it that way. It honestly felt similar to the locking mechanism on the Prestos (which btw changed my entire life when I found out you could just flip the zipper pull upside down, lol).

Not sure if I missed this above but Nitty Gritty no longer part of the gang either

What's your definition of minimal. Between Acronym, Nike ACG, and SISP, I'm sure hes doing pretty well for himself.

My definition of minimal is low 6 figures.  I would hope he makes more.

As I wrote - from Acronym, meaning directly from Acrnm sales, not from his partnerships with NIke and SISP.

[unmen]

*off topic

Talking about some good memories, AZITA was a great place to grab some ACR stuff back then.

My first purchase. And second. And third. Then Glade. 

It was smooth, very nice packing & without custom's headache everytime.

[X.bee]

Can anyone confirm NG3 or NG4, I can't tell the difference.

///edit: Dug a bit more. It's the NG3

Found Kojima's bag & spec sheet

[gunpwdr]

Disappointing discovery on quality of my J58-WS, received today. Put my hand in the left chest pocket only to feel the seam give way and now I have a hole. Will probably take to my local tailor to fix but this is a nuisance I shouldn't have to deal with at this price point...

 

[GFNS]

These dudes is playing games with our neck’s emotions.  This is like the 5th photo of Kojima in something we probably won’t see released anytime soon.

If it was Rebuild by Needles, it would be a neat find but I agree with you there.  Was it just a seam or did you note any actual fabric tear?

[shifty]

p23-s first impressions; waist felt comically large but cinched down as intended, fit afterward was similar to acr fit pics (ie straps down to my knees). Only thing that felt a little off was that i felt like the cuff didn't have much separation from the pant leg, but it looks like if the cuff is stacked a little bit and not pulling down the pant it gets that look. Also, spec sheet lists 8 pockets? Is the goofy little corner thing in the front hand pockets considered a separate internal pocket?

Yeah I think those are the "deep" pockets or whatever they're called. SS17 ACG cargos have em too. 

Try the front of your left pocket. There should be another pocket exactly like the phone pocket on outside right leg. At least that's what I discovered on my p23ts

That is so unbelievable, as a 'german' brand with a showroom and company headquarter in Germany, dropping the only local retailer is nearly treason. Sorry for being that dramatic, but I am really upset about this right now.

They weren't the only local retailer. Andreas Murkudis also stocked ACR, although @henrisan says they also got dropped?

murkudis didn't get dropped. they just didn't buy anything from the first release.

if you're suggesting what i think you are, this doesn't really do much.

Should have mentioned i found the interior cell phone pocket in the left hand pocket so i found 6/8, but i guess i was expecting a more defined space for the other two pockets.

Just like the sweat stains on your precious $1500+ Gore-Tex jacket that are incredibly difficult to remove (3 days prep time)

Could they actually be removed? I'm curious, had some stains on an old veilance jacket but I never got them off.

I heard from a Ink shop employee during my last trip there, that before the day they launch the sale of SS17 acrnm, there is a long queue of people camping outside their door. When the shop open they came in and asked to buy the items (when the apparels were still in shipment boxes that just arrived apparently). Trying to be positive, but many of the hot items might be out of sizes by the time AW17 goes online on their site.

Ink clothing sold out in-store.

Not really the same thing. That’s the fault of the backer and not much can be done to prevent it. In his case (and many more these past couple seasons it seems) there are things that just shouldn’t have gotten passed the QA process.

For 3L yes, and it doesn't remove all of it. It can reduce it but it's still there. For 2L, no.

True, that is 100% Acronym's fault for shoddy worksmanship but as far as sweat stains go... at the price point and rarity we're dealing with, you would think the jackets would be impenetrable to stains since they're Gore-Tex Pro Deluxe Plus Ultra

How would you go about doing so? I'm well aware of using tech wash and all but do you just literally soak the jacket for 3 days straight and in hopes that it comes off?

Just received my P23A-DS. The waist size is humongous on first impression, but after tightening it works. Definitely have to double loop (see below) if I don't want to activate the "self-loosening" device. But once the double loop is done, it is perfect, doesn't loosen even if I am jumping or running.
