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).

This a new coat? My b. didnt check site

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 🙏

For me the p23a style is too iconic to pass up, so I'd opt for a pair of both p23a & p41 any day of the week, but if you don't really care and just want some nice pants, I've heard nothing but great things about p23q.

I discovered Acronym many years ago purely by accident. I was looking to buy a messenger bag and I did a Google search for "recommended messenger bags" and found an online article mentioning the Acronym 3A-5 (I can't remember the precise model #)  It was the version with ACRNYM silk-screened on the bottom in bold white letters and the pull chords were red. I still have it, and it is in mint condition because I liked it so much I bought a plain 3A-5 to use as my daily driver instead.

That led me to ACR jackets and trousers and accessories. (My wife keeps saying: "How many jackets do you need?)

I always used to buy black versions of everything. When they brought out  Alpha green, I didn't like it at first and avoided it. But then one article of clothing I wanted was only available in Alpha green. Now I buy everything in alpha green if available! 🙂

Incidentally, the boots I am wearing are Acteryx and the colour is almost a perfect match for ACR Alpha Green.

 

The Messenger bag was the 3A-5TSR!

I just scooped the P15.  Great pant.  I have numerous pants with the cinch down system.  With these pants though I am having a tiny harder time cinching the waist in.  Is there always a break in process with that cinch and I just forgot about that?  I am paranoid that maybe there was a quality control issue on this particular pair.  I doubt it.  I have a feeling that there's always a break in process where the internal belt eventually loosens.  Any thoughts from anyone that copped the P15s as well?

[brainerd666]

I didn’t think the shirts/hoodies could get any worse, but here we are now…

[Abarth_Swag]

I think they look good. I fuck with all 3 heavy.

Nah I’m all good, already seen it. I’m only interested in the MS exclusives at this point. About 90% of the mass produced stuff from the last 2ish years has been pretty fucking underwhelming bordering on straight up ugly. They need to fire Ian Wang or give him a sub-label or some shit.

I have the same problem! They don't cinch down very well at all. 

I bought some shorts with the same cinching system and it works really well on the shorts. However any long pants I have bought recently are hard to cinch down and I am afraid to "Reef" on them for fear of damaging the system!

acrdb.com is now available; feel free to grab it if you're interested in building anything acr-related. I believe I owe an explanation regarding it. In short, I sourced and contacted a photographer who worked on the first collections and he had not only the missing FW-0607 season but all the first seasons in their original quality straight from the camera. He was willing to share them with me if Errolson would allow it. He sent an email to Errolson and asked for his permission. After two or three months of waiting, Errolson finally replied and instructed him not to share any photos. He expressed his dislike for old seasons being online, as it could lead to people stealing his designs or whatever. After receiving this response, I decided to take down the website and don't bother anymore.

Unfortunate, I miss the old works.

Any 3A-1 Laminated Limonta on the horizon?

[FlyingShiba]

Any more CH pants in the pipeline? Hoping for something cut for people who don't have tree trunk legs. No offense to anyone with muscle 

[DeadHype]

@FlyingShiba From what I have seen the upcoming retailer stuff will mostly be wider cuts 

[nathan_]

fw2425 all wide as hell too

[XLARGE]

I really like it wide, therefore I really like this jacket. 

https://acrnm.com/J113-SD_FW2324

But not only because it’s wide, it also looks awesome imo. 
But I guess the price tag will make me sweat. 

[Yan90]

Imo it's a real trash. Looks like a cheap riot division jacket or some cope techwear Asian brand.

Also it's - SD. Already wrinkled straight out from the box. 

What a shame :            (

Now that you mentioned it, I can’t unsee it.

My first impression was very nice, now looking at it a few times, don’t like it that much anymore. 😂

[hentaiyarou69]

What happened to the brand? I left for a bit to focus on visvim and came back to clown pieces. Did E sell it or something?

[Yan90]

Most likely he's retired. And the brand is run by his mediocre doubleganger.  

Cuz the real E said a gold phrase about "not buying acronym...."

It looks exactly like that to me.
Also looking at pics I can somehow already feel the heavyness of that jacket pulling down on my shoulder which makes me really don't want to ever buy it...
