Just received my P31A, can confirm 5'10 size M fits pretty well.

Also, now the dangling length of my size small P30 belt seems comically short compared to the medium P31A

I have a question about Custom fee.

I just got LA6B-AD from ACRONYM official website.

When I got a package, I almost paid $260 to UPS for getting this package under C.O.D? Custom Fee?

Is there anyway that I can get a refund this Fee what I paid from UPS, If I am gonna return this shirts to ACRONYM?

Are you in the US?

I called them to ask about this a few years ago, and you can get it back, but:

• it's very slow
• they will subtract a fee (I think this was about $90 when I asked)
• it's kind of a PITA to file that you did the return

Think about what they're doing. they basically front the cost of customs and pay the feds on your behalf, and then collect money from you later. So to get it back, they have to get it back from the gov't (which is obviously very slow) and also prove to the gov't that the goods were returned.

So, better to trade it or sell at cost.

I got the black in size Medium. The outseam was on par with my SS19 ACG cargos, and a bit shorter than my P23A-S, so medium seemed to fit the bill.

Yes I am located in NYC

Yeah.. I just got back response from UPS that If I already paid for custom fee and got a package. That money already gone from their hand. 

So..If I want to return this package, I couldn't get a refund about custom fee and I have to pay for return shipping fee either, right?

Has anyone living in the US ordered acr from HBX recently? Product page states import fees to US are included in price. I know they are based in HK so just wanted to see if the claim checks out.

I've ordered twice and haven't been hit with duties either time. 

[JoseRizal]

Also got mine today. 5'10 size M. Strangely found it too roomy around waist and drawcord can barely hold it up. Now regret didn't get a S

Do you have the drawcord pulled back as far as it can possibly go? It took me a fair bit of strength for me to fasten down my pair because the pants are brand new, so constant wear would loosen up the belt, so it doesn't take a ton of tough pulling to tighten down.

For drop crotches I woulda went small for you 

[iamundying]

@Zeddsan, I have almost identical measurements as you and Medium fit good on me. (both bagginess and length-wise)

Is this your first drawcord waist pants? I think you're doing something wrong here.

I am 5'5 and I wear a P23A-DS in size M and P30A-DS in size S. Both of which I can tighten till it hold up. So I find it strange that you cannot tighten it fully. I ordered the P31A-DS in size S, waiting for it to arrive from mothersite. Shipping to Asia is somewhat slower.

[beepy]

@Zeddsan someone posted some good advice a while ago for cinching pants: lean forward and stick your but out a bit and then pull. I'm under 70kg and can fully cinch XL p15s.

Placed 2 orders from the release this week from HBX shipping to NYC and they're both held up at Fedex right now. Fedex is asking me for a commercial invoice, despite the fact that the shipping label states the full HKD value on it. I've never experienced this with HBX before, so wondering if something recently changed...

[Zeddsan]

@beepy @iamundying @segue

Thanks for the advice. Reading comments from yall made me go back and tried again. No matter how hard I pull it it just wouldn't get tight enough. XL fitting <70kg sounds wild...maybe I'm losing weight 

[BruceLeroy]

Should we be expecting the J1B-GT Monday? I saw a launch date somewhere for November 16th, but not sure that applies to the mother site.

Have HBX support look into.  This has happened to me but they always clear it from their end and I have never had to pay fees or provide additional documentation.

J68 Alpha Green arrived today and I'm on the fence with my first impressions. To my eyes it looks more grey/ khaki in direct light than the stock pictures suggest.  The J68 Multi shots show it more accurately in sunlight than the shots with Umit.  Was hoping it would be slightly closer to the old olive Epic cotton overall.  Looks incredible in lower light, though.  

I would have preferred a green jacket sling to a black one for these colors. 

Does anyone know where a size M Royal Air Force green is still available?  Could you please PM if so?

Thanks for the pics. I wonder how the Dust 1B would pair with alpha green pants...

[AvantSol]

Alpha green looks sexy. Especially with the contrast zip.

[eyesolation]

my alpha green just arrived - absolutely love the color and glad I didn't go for raf. it seems like it looks more greenish in photos, more like concrete/dust irl. goes really well with the raf zips.
