Voyager 609 Report post Posted September 22, 2017 1 hour ago, Cairxoxo said: Both my beanie and gaiter are 100% cashllama. Really nice fabric, super warm and comfy. I personally don't find it at all scratchy either like some other wool. I second this. I have both the beanie and gaiter from last AW. Only issue I have is with the gaiter not bouncing back after repeatedly being stretched putting it on and taking it off. It’s a great fabric. Soft, comfy and warm. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea the instructions are this exactly: Quote Hand wash 30 degrees. Do not wring. Do not use bleach. Do not use dryer. Iron at medium temperature. Professional dry cleaning. Washing is not always necessary. Llama wool is a self-cleaning fiber and requires less washing than other materials. FWIW I haven't washed them at all yet, and wore them a lot over this winter just been (southern hemisphere). 13 minutes ago, Voyager said: I second this.

Soft, comfy and warm. Yep, exact same two pieces I have. Haven't personally noticed much stretch in the gaiter yet but I'll keep an eye out. Super, super happy with them both though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure E's take home from Acronym is very minimal. Looking at the complexity of product, COGS, logistics cost/qty, I can somewhat understand the pricing. What's your definition of minimal. Between Acronym, Nike ACG, and SISP, I'm sure hes doing pretty well for himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

halomunkey 425,679 Report post Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Alternatively you could mall ninja it and buy a cam buckle from amazon for $1/piece. It's been brought up previously but acronym webbing isn't proprietary. If you run into any issues or want increased functionality you can most likely find an affordable solution at an outdoor/milspec store. cop ITW cams for that brand synergy Edited September 22, 2017 by halomunkey 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kampongkid 667 Report post Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) i've got the old p25. best option is to just thread the webbing across the opposite side of the buckle. Edited September 22, 2017 by kampongkid Added pic 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azhe 16 Report post Posted September 22, 2017 11 hours ago, cornerska said: I suppose I don't really know the first thing about the process of operating a small inventory, high price retailer. Considering the prices vs something like the archetypal fashion houses, I would assume that margins on Acronym are far smaller. Which could have the potential to seriously harm the longevity of these boutiques if they get stuck with any dead inventory at all? I'm interested to see where this is going over the next few seasons, with the influence of the hype I expect Acronym to continue to raise the prices until they find their price equilibrium on the number of sales made (It's been ages since I took economics, if someone can help me on the name of this concept). After which point, one might assume that they would use the excess revenue to expand the brands production and bring prices back down? Is it even possible to create an economy of scale on a product that is intended to be on the cutting edge year after year? production possibility frontier or something i think 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
