Kasper 50,794 Posted August 13 1 hour ago, solo1 said: I have tried dying black stotz multiple times and it has not been successful -- the egyptian cotton mechanism ( the fabric tightens up, and the pores close, in order to reduce water absorption) actually works too well, making it so the liquid dye can't penetrate the fabric deeply. If anyone has had real successful getting a deep black, let me know.. I got bleach on my p10 about 2 years ago. Got in touch with Stotz and they said regular dye wouldn't work as it won't stick (don't remember the exact technical reason). People here suggested India ink and it has worked wonders. Obviously, I used it to dye a small patch so I don't know how practical it would be to use to dye an entire piece. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my experience, black Rit dye normally comes out being a very dark bluish black, I've only had luck with it dying to almost pure black on 100% cotton shirts. Ahh dylon gives similar results its always goting to have that blueish tint i think w dyes to a certain degree. Maybe try india ink as post above. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prescription was possible? best regards prescription is possible on any glasses/frames, unless acronym superglued the lenses onto the frames which is highly unlikely. any optician would be able to pop the lens out and install your prescribed lenses in. however, the problem is you wouldn't be able to get your prescription onto the colour tinted lenses so it would just be clear.

Can confirm that tinted lenses with prescription is doable. A comparison in case you guys want to do the same. The lenses taken off the frame are the original ones.

Try to find one that’s used to doing designer frames, and it helps to check some reviews and look for places where folks share stories of taking in their frames to have prescriptions put in. I’ve found most shops are excited to see/work with frames from designers they don’t see often. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nouveau Pauvre 1 Posted August 19 I really want a 3a-2, but the only one I see for sale around is almost 4x retail on grailed, and I don't want it that bad. Has anyone bought a 3a-mk2 and converted it to a standalone bag, by putting on a bagjack strap or something similar? Thanks in advance. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaizo 13 Posted August 20 Even putting a qlqr strap on a 3a-mk2 wouldn't be worth it imo. Unless you're all about that main storage but it would still be missing the other 3a-2 features. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dixonschneider 29 Posted August 25 (edited) J1A and P30A just restocked. Am I the only one getting the impression that this is very likely to happen frequently? Let’s see what this does to the resell market. Edited August 25 by dixonschneider 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iamundying 123,231 Posted August 26 @Voyager called out the possibility of a restock before ss20 when the p30a originally dropped. im happy to see j1a still available in all sizes and the p30a only sold out for XS and S. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think there's an Acronym reseller market anymore... all the resellers I've seen have moved on. The only few listings I've seen that I would consider real "reselling" is if they are: selling the select "grail pieces" selling in Japan (due to the native markup) Everything is being restocked/re-released so no one really cares to flip Acronym stuff anymore, especially when the prestos bricked. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xc-mtb 142 Posted August 26 With all these in mind we should see less interest in holding items because with better availability it is less interesting to pay high prices for older stuff (except key items). But there aren’t a lot key items anymore. The J1 is randomly updated and improved. Same as 3A-1 and J28. The only real Key Items are probably the 3A-7, CP and the Sets. But just my understanding. Best as always. Not store it, use it to the max for best influence on environment. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can definitely see this on grailed or other buy/selling groups on the internet. With retail that high, people seem to not even get back what they paid for originally (i.e. some SS19 jackets like J76-GT). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clutchLT 34 Posted August 26 Ordered the P30DS in size M. Was told its about the length of the pants that matter for these and not the waist as I am normally a size 29/30 which I normally go size small. I'm also 6 feet tall. If anyone can confirm that would be great. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
