Can someone comment on how the T14s fit?  I'm usually a sz L in Wtaps tees and SI:SP.  Is the loopwheeled Giza cotton pretty thick or thin, etc.?  Thanks in advance

[drgitlin]

ACRNM can do no wrong...

 

but those really look like Zumba pants

I think it's fair to say that, in nine years, we've gone to much narrower leg trousers. The pendulum will swing back at some point, it always does.

One could hope. The whole P3 line of pants looked great to me.

Also, is that the WS-J1A up there? So good!

I got one in my regular size large and I would say it fits pretty true to how all the rest of their stuff runs, I'm an XL to xxl in sisp so take that for what it's worth

I find the material pretty medium thickness, but then again I wash it and treat it like one would treat any Tshirt, it may have been thicker before. I do wish it was longer length.

WS-P3A from fw0506.

 

 

Could someone please elaborate on what WS is in this instance? I know it's not windstopper active shell, and it doesn't look like x-fast.

Like the oft-contributed Mies quip; 'God is in the details'. It is a small thing, but trivializing it foreshortens the whole discussion of form and function. It's a perfect flashpoint, given how far the green YKK zip goes back:

 

 

 

 

Are we back on the ZIPPERGATE2k15® train?

 

I agree with you though that the old school 3A-1 was aesthetically very cohesive. But being very cohesive can also serve as a kind of stasis.

 

The current 3A-1 in comparison is not quite as cohesive but taken together as whole, with the dual tone straps, green trimmings, WR black zip and the new metal zipps; it is unbalanced in a balanced way. The kinesthetic intent of the design is communicated more clearly even when standing still.

 

And who knows maybe metal buckles can be incorporated in the future? Maybe the weight gain (and cost increase) is a fair enough trade off for the durability and aesthetics, but I suspect it's something that Errolson and co will have to endlessly deliberate on.

I'm an M in SISP and S in ACRNM. 

I would say the Giza cotton is mid to light weight, very airy and soft. Super high quality.

Windstopper cotton: schoeller -shape 3XDRY.

That's pretty cool. I had no idea they had been using it for so long, and for so many styles of garment. 

 

So now I officially need a WS-J3A. And that WS-J1A.

I was thinking more of the P1TS-S's i bought from unmen. Wore them on Friday but damn are they baggy!

Yeah but I was thinking baby steps

[TEKsevenZERO]

I love the loose / baggy styles. The p15's have to be my all time faves, planning on getting some y-3 sarouel pants too, but i imagine they are waaaaay too loose for the vast maj. Of sufu tech folk.

Still keeping fingers crossd for CP3 to emerge from the leftfield ne day too and oooooh, that chrome 3rd arm !

[drgitlin]

I should add, I wear P9s most of the time. What do you mean they're too baggy???!?

[Sypron]

Yeah, I've always considered 8/9/11 to be a 'straight' cut.

10, 13 and 14 are 'slim'.

1, 3 and 5 are baggy (loose, according to their fit descriptions).

[cmdR]

Haha you guys are absolutely right! It's just for us shorter guys, the way the hem meets the shoe is pretty late 90s baggy style

[danxlau]

Hi guys,

 

Can any owners of the J44-GT please let me know how it fits or how it's meant to fit?

 

In some model shots it looks like its meant to be quite long(?) but in others i.e. END, it seems to fit like an ordinary jacket?

 

 

[upheavel]

don't use End for ANY references on acronym styling   

[shieldsy]

don't use End for ANY references on acronym styling   

Or anything else for the matter.

 

Their website listed sizing is often their interpretation of sizing.   Like Visvim size 1 has been XS on End before.

I posted some pics a few days ago: http://supertalk.superfuture.com/index.php/topic/116132-acronym/page-157#entry3159075

 

The first picture you posted is how it fits on me, and I'm wearing a Medium. It's much less fitted than the GT-J29A. Length is the same as a blazer or suit coat would be.

Can I ask how tall you are?

 

I guess your GT-J29A is a lot shorter in comparison?

Edited March 22, 2015 by danxlau

[drgitlin]

5' 7", I'll try the 29 on later, haven't worn it in a while, so don't remember.

[cmdR]

J44 is cut longer and bigger than the J29 it is based on. For the ultimate reference on how it should fit, check Errolson's fit pics. He's ACR's fit model.

[readytoignite]

visvim sz 1 is probably a US/EU size XS though?  at least, if you believe in the fantasy of "true" sizing

[drgitlin]

J29A is definitely shorter. I guess for the same fit you could just size the 29 up.

[cmdR]

That's exactly right Jon; the J44 is basically a sized up J29 with shorter sleeves. It's fascinating how little tweaks from sizing to materials to the modded collar can alter the vibe of a jacket so drastically.

re: P-10

Measurements are inconsistent with all retailers. Can people chime in on waist/inseam measurements for s and/or m?

If you're around 170 cm get S

If you're around 180 cm get M

Errolson is 182/3 cm he wears M.

Lenny Muller (Caucasian ACR model) is around 178/9 cm, he also wear M.

Waist sizing on these pretty generous if you are reasonably in shape.
