The large stitching on the front does not make ANY sense at all.

Isn't the front flak pouch sewn all the way around? Not just in two spots? I don't see how you could remove the stitching for the pouch without leaving permanent/noticeable visual blemishes.

He highlighted the two spots cause theres already a stitch on the right. Top is left open for mezzanine pocket.

I believe it’s identical in every way to the 08 J1A, including zippers, gravity pockets, nextec Epic tag, interops, etc etc. 

The stitching on the right of the front panel is for the inside pocket as you can see here.

i don't remember a pocket behind the flap on my ej1a but i could be wrong. looks out of place. otherwise it looks like a ej1a with the flak pocket removed.

Usually most samples come in size M. Erlsn wears medium as well and I believe he is the main testing person.

The hood is paclite? I checked the J1A video again and the hood looks to be E- as well as the whole jacket. However there was a E-J1A on grailed in size L that had paclite hood, but came with the pocket and olive jacketsling (while yours looks like there is a black one) I also think someone removed the flak pocket, as @Dolphinski pointed, noone ever had samples.

Wasn’t he always sized up before?

[Xu Jianfeng 1,912]

There are Acronym samples, @benta9000 has one.

Edit: so not strictly an Acronym sample, my apologies

Glad to hear someone’s order went smooth.

I ordered the J1A as well. Still haven't heard anything. As seen above, ive received both a payment confirmed email as well as a order denied email.

i have confirmation from paypal that Acronym has in fact received my payment within 6 minutes of my order. And the cash is in acronyms account. 

Really hoping to hear back from them by tomorrow...

Anyone who ordered P30A got their package shipped? I've got UPS tracking number last friday, but UPS site says shipment is still even not in their facility. Is it normal?

[fasttimes 22,205]

Depending on your order number yes, completely normal. Mine was mid-1700s and arrived today.

Yep, got my shipping on Friday, due to arrive Wednesday. I wouldn't worry, i'm sure it'll get shipped today, they're probably just swapped with all the P30 and J1A orders.

[silat_hd 51]

Got confirmation on my order this morning. I guess the "Order denied" email was just an automated message.
Now awaiting tracking info.

Dogspeed everyone.

Does anyone have any tips on getting a return package out of German customs? My return package has been stuck in there for a few days now. I marked it just as acrnm told me to. I emailed them with no response so far. 

I really wish acrnm would just print out a ups return label for its customers.. 

edit - ah apparently i was suppose to mark the package value as zero along with saying it has no commercial value. didn't do the former but i did the latter. shit.

Edited July 2, 2019 by Kamikaze

[X.bee 555]

Was it marked as having no value?

Got the p30a in xs yesterday and had been wearing them around and thought I’d drop some first impressions.

In general I’ve always worn form fitting clothes so the ultra wide pant was a chance at something new. From pictures I had seen before, out of all the drop crotch pants, these seemed most approachable since they tapered at the leg and could also have a cropped look which mitigates the overly baggy look. (For reference I’m 5’7” and 140).

When I first put them on I felt pretty uncomfortable since there was so much excess fabric in the crotch area. I felt pretty silly having these parachute pants on but after looking in the mirror, they feel much baggier than they actually look. I do like the absurd amount of slack and space I have for my legs which makes it a very comfortable pant. For the draw strings I did have to pull them a bit since the waist was pretty big but it wasn’t to the point where crumpling up around the waist ruined the drape of the pant. 

My favorite feature is the removable cuffs since the increase in airflow is significant after removing them. The zippers at the end inadvertently add form around the hem of the p30a which gives it some good structure. You can feel the zipper teeth slightly when walking around or going upstairs but it’s effect on wearing experience is negligible but thought I’d note it anyway. I really see this as an ideal spring and summer pant (with or without the cuffs) but don’t know if I would wear these in the fall or winter. If I did, I’d def wear with the cuffs and would probably wear a liner or some long johns beneath them since 1) I have the space to and 2) it would keep my legs warm instead of having all of that open space and potential cold air flowing around. 

I found that the drape of the pant can look drastically different depending on your body and posture. There were times where I looked like I had shat my pants when my back was slouched but would immediately disappear if I straightened my back (might not be the case for everyone but it was for me).  What I did notice though is that when in movement (walking, running) the pant looks great basically at all times. It’s just that it can look odd for some if you’re standing a certain way or if the crotch fabric is flowing one way or the other but this too imo is negligible since you’ll hopefully be out and about not worrying about what they look like at all times.  

I haven’t found the right shoes for the long mod to wear these with but for the cropped mod, most ankle or sandals or slides look great with them. (bare feet somehow looks best for both lol)

Overall it took me a good 2 hours to get used to and I couldn’t make up my mind if I liked them or not during the initial wear. After some time I’ve grown to like them but feel like these are the type of pant that’ll exponentially grow on you and you’ll love them more the next wear than the wear before. Cheers to returning back to the baggy era!

The long mod seems like it might fit perfectly inside the DAF-1 neoprene. Great write up, good pic examples. 

[lopiteaux 405]

Agree, great write up @segue.

P30a is made in China right? I just paid the duties for mine and they're something like 7-8% so I didn't even bother trying to lower them

[Kamikaze 3,887]

Yup made in China. If 7-8% it sounds like the code was correct

Yea, it should be 6203.43.1190 at 7.1%.  And it's hit or miss, sometimes they come in with the right code, sometimes it comes in at 27%.

Would that also work with the 2.2 1A, also made in China?

[Kamikaze 3,887]

does anyone have photos of the p30a being worn in size L/XL? that xs looks quite baggy as is so im curious to see them in bigger sizes.

[BRICK DOM 124,002]

Yeah I'll do my best to get a pic or 2 up tomorrow. I'm 6'1" and got a size L.

Also, do y'all have to sign for your package? I have a half day tomorrow so I'll try to be home by noon lol. Package deliveries always give me anxiety
