anyone know the name of the TILAK ver. of ACR's SP12TS?  been searching the threads but no luck.  thanks in advance.

[chris_n]

@Flipflop214 i'm not sure if there's an exact version, but i'm a fan of the ODIN ventile shorts/pants. unfortunately they seem hard to find now. i've been after the odin ventile pants for at least a year now :|

What are you guys' take on the sizing of the PB items from the last "release"? Kind of interesting that we saw both pieces being modeled for women as well as the XS size being available. Was this a one off for a special/experimental launch of a new material or could it be the first sign of Acr embracing androgynous clothing?

Since the cut and nature of current pieces already can be worn by both genders and the popularity of prestos seems to have made an impact on  the streetwear scene overall maybe Acr can try to capitalize on a bigger target group, not that they need to with current hype. 

Of course this is all hypothetical but I wonder how it will impact sizing. As a size 44 (suiting) guy I'm more than happy to welcome a move towards smaller sizing (most pants released to date would fall of my waist even in small unless belted). Maybe we would finally see the absurd pricing on size small second-hand pieces gone as well.

No, a while ago I just found a super high quality detergent and stuck with it. It's a very gentle wash, but it cleans up really well for the time spent submerged. Again, I don't notice any difference from its performance on day one. However, I don't really use these pants as aggressively as some others might.

Does anyone still have the size table for the LA7-DS and could send it to me? Haven't been able to find it via the archive.

I dunno...I had a hell of a time trying to get the stuff I wanted last release and I was there on the dot waiting for it.

It used to be VERY easy, now it's a bun fight and if anything I feel has certainly made the experience unpleasant, it was never really an exclusive brand just a tiny niche one with a small (in relative terms) customer base, now it has a scaled up customer base but production levels are still the same so by very definition IS exclusive. There is a disparity that has been created which I'd like to see tackled, but unless some breakthrough is miraculously made in the world of garment production at this level then alot of us, well me at least, anyway, will stand with our noses pressed up against the shop window as we see the sold out sign hung, we'll never even make it to the changing room!

Supply vs demand would now not even work for subnet I guess, I imagine that was one of the reasons it was pulled too along with the copycat shenanigans in the wild wild east.

J1FB is probably one of their best jackets ever released IMO, would def want someone close to me to wear it if I owned it just to see it in action. That's one lucky mom

I was thinking back to an experience a few years ago when i was in an email exchange about 6 deep with someone at acrnm.com whilst they patiently answered my questions on a particular item for a whole week before i put my hand in my pocket and bought it. (Not only that - once I got hold of it they gave me a load of advice afterwards ). So different to my SS17 experience where I was basically empty handed and swearing for a few days!

My  P10-DS's are too big for me now around the waist (size L I have a pair of P24-S size S that fit comfortably) so I really need the P10's down to S and I don't really want to sell them I was wondering is it wise to have them taken in by the alteration man has anyone ever done that with a pair of ACR bottoms? 

Also I see talk of the P14's restock and folk talking of sizing up there are still some P9-S's up in olive but in medium anyone have any knowledge on the fit don't want to buy them if they are going to be too big and how are they looking in real life colour wise dark,light?

 

I don't think you could successfully have a L taken into a S without it looking a bit odd.

 

The P14s definitely fit very small, which is why I think they have not been offered again. A size L might have been better for me in the waist but then the legs would be waay too long. With a belt I'm OK—if I sneeze and the pop-stud opens up the belt comes to the rescue.

P9s come up a bit large—I have four pairs in Medium, two in Epic that i had taken in, a pair in Stotz and a pair in the blue Ch softshell which I didn't; for the latter two I need to wear them with a belt, but they are not as loose around the waist as my pairs of P24Ss.

What do you guys think about J1A in new shiny GT?

[Xu Jianfeng]

Being some kind p leather body hammer is actually my type of thing,especially when I already great material like wool blends or heavy cotton in this classic design,I mean even the one off camo self heating one is better nah?

 

Edited August 1, 2017 by Xu Jianfeng

[danii]

wish they did J2 but replace the leather with the -PB and blackout logos

[nodre]

Been using Granger's religiously on my GT, CH and DS bits. I'd recommend their spray for the Stotz though.

[hjpx]

Just wanted to say thanks to this thread. You guys alerted me to the restock, when I logged on somewhat randomly, drink in hand, at the end of a day in Berlin of all places. Yes, some stuff sold out while I was spazzing around with the password and showing images of old stuff to my girlfriend, but I managed to grab a J-40S in black/L and my girlfriend is rather happy with her new SS-JF1B. Much appreciated.

And talking of that restock; anyone know how that came about?

—

And speaking of smaller sizes. If S is the size you're after and you're looking for some recent stuff, I'd ping Andreas Murkudis in Berlin. I saw a 46U (i think), 56, 58 & a 61 hanging there.

 

[Inkinsurgent]

the restock was just deadstock laying around in the offices. the items were on earlier versions of the website as well. 

[TEKsevenZERO]

The only restockI ever see/saw were the 3rd arm stuff but so very few far between. As Inky said, just deadstock, which is nice.

p24s fit a size large in the waist, so you P10-DS in an m would prob be perfect for you

also: just wear a damn belt, that's why they exist

I have a belt was just wondering if I could get them taken in I guess I will just leave them be 

[Kanchelskis]

Ok thanks a lot for the info @drgitlin do you have any in olive? I'm a bit hmm about that colour things tend to look a shade different in pictures than in real life might give those P9s a miss

L-R: P24A-S (washed a few times), P9-S (washed quite a lot), P14-S (not washed yet). The Stotz they used for the P9 and P14 is a lot greener than the Stotz they used on the P24As, which was always much browner.

Based on the commercial invoice the correct classification should have been 6201.93.6511 as it is made of synthetic fibers (67% polyamide-nylon). The correct duty percentage for this tariff is 27.7%.  The tariff you provided below of 6201.99.8030 is invalid as this tariff represents  jackets made of fibers other than synthetic fibers. I apologize for the late response. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Did you try 6201.99.8030 ?

works for nylon faced outerwear... got my GT from $367 to $60

[Flipflop214]

Yeah, that's the code I provided. 

 

They can issue a refund, right?  They also told me that they can't refund me since I already paid the duty. Wtf? 

[meccaNIZM]

That sucks man. The first few people I called weren't helpful, but I emailed [email protected] with that code and they responded within a few hours that it was corrected and updated.

No this is bullshit I've been refunded before.

Yeah, the key is hitting someone who cares. With UPS it's super hit or miss.
