I dig the fit comparison of wide vs straight. not sure which one I appreciate more.

As E gets chonkier we'll see the J1WW in the future

[RapGameTaylorSwift]

Did anyone actually buy the J1W or did they make a million? 

I actually think its a great jacket. I love the new colors and the fit while slightly comical makes a lot more sense to me. The J1A is tight af if you take your TTS imo and it's a joke with a warm insulator attached. The J1W looks like you can actually move in it. 

Having said all of that, I feel like this is the downside of releasing a J1A every year. I know I'm a going to see 30 of these and that makes me want it less...

Feel like J1 is getting a little old & complex these day.

I'm sure most ppl,including myself, wound choose J1 as first acr jacket because it is the combination of many iconic acr elements. 

I do enjoyed these [tricks] of J1A for a while and then noticed some problem such as the hard to reach chest pocket, the little tight new collar design (starting from 2.2),  interops & WR zip gravity pocket which I may use once per year, and the "feels like I need another airpods next day" forcelock...

To say, each newer version do have some updates like flip gravity pocket, tension zip and wider fit for insulation etc. Not sure if it's me being weird that want a cleaner and simpler jacket rather than a "over engineered" project like complexity...

I totally agree. The minimalist jackets often have just as much complexity as the maximalist ones like (J1 / J47A / etc), the features are just hidden from view. J84 is a good example where it has tension zip pockets, a unique collar design, and the side pockets are absolutely massive, but on the surface it's more discerning and subtle – it feels like the Rick Rubin of Acronym jackets lol

Just tried the J1W-GTPL in a local retailer today. I am a size S in J1A-GTPL. i had to size down to XS on j1w because S just too big….. feels like it s just oversized on the width.

Just take your normal size bro. Larry Hoover didn’t go to jail for you to undersize an intentionally oversized garment.

J1W silhouette is great but can't get behind paclite with its durability issues

J1W, W for WIDE. You don't say! 

(Of course, go with whatever size you want but thought that was too funny)

Bonjour everyone =) Any tips on how to wash Epic (the new version), beside what's written on the garment (detergent powder, double rinse and low temperature) ? Time to clean this P30a-e !

Very much the reason why I enjoy  my J47 so much. Simple clean design with plenty of features.

Are you really asking how to follow the instructions on the garment? Errolson really gonna have to put the choking hazard warning on the new shoes for real.

nope, just if there were other things to know from your experiences beside the instructions. I thought i was clear, it seems not

Nope, instructions are all you need.  Washed my P10-E's a few times now as per instructions after some substantial thrashing and they came out perfect every time.  Still water repellant and basically same hand feel as brand new.  Hope they'll work into something a little softer (quieter?) in time though!  Also note that I've been doing what the tags say on all my ACR stuff for years and never had a problem.

I spilled some hamburger grease on my trousers a short time ago. I followed the washing instructions on the label and the stain was still there. The stain was tallow/beef fat only!

So I washed them again in warm water with all other instructions as per the label. Still no luck. So applied a liberal does of "Shout" and then washed the trousers in warm rather than cold water. The stain was finally removed. There was no apparent harm to the garment, but perhaps some of the weather proofing was removed. (Some stated in an earlier thread that these E garments were good for 50 washes?) In any event, I broke some of the washing rules.(I like to live Life on the Edge!) and nothing bad happened. but maybe the laundry police will show up with a warrant.

I think the J1W would probably fit me better than J1A 2.2. Backer Gray is the pick of the bunch for me.

Anyone having fun with the vest (V5-PX)?

J99 came in. The wide fit is a welcome change from the other slimmer insulators - pretty sure I could fit two of me in here. Incredibly versatile too. It can take on several silhouettes depending on how you close it, and it looks good over everything from a tee and cargos to suiting. Definitely the choice for static warmth in the cold. And the welt pockets are cavernous - no issues fitting a 1L nalgene. 

I got my J99 a short time ago. Yes it fits big! I normally wear an XL but because of the specs, I ordered and L. It still fits quite large and I rhink I could have ordered an M.

If you consider buying it go down 1 size or even 2.

It is very warm . . the warmest ACR piece I own. It is well-designed with lots of pockets and I was glad to see it has a YKK zipper which is nice and smooth.I have  similar ACR coat with the Ra******* zipper (I can never remember the full name) and it jams and sticks on a regular basis.

Thank you @Roofmann and @zxcvbnnn for the input with the J99. Really interested in this piece. Owning a J61-GT, would that be the perfect liner or do you (or anybody else that wants to chime in) see the J99 as the perfect liner? Kind of unsure because the J99 does not offer auxzip. Or is the J99 more to be seen as a stand alone piece. THX.

[FelixRevolt]

J99 is the over overcoat.

the J99 doesn't need a liner because it is very well insulated. I normally just wear a shirt under it. When its get really cold (I am in Canada) I will probably wear my J-78-PX under it and that should be plenty.

Thank you for your feedback and thoughts but please do not size down on the j99 and more so in general, overall Acrnm clothing. 

[chris_n]

i'm personally looking forward to these 'oversized sized down' fits, please post asap i need something to look forward to

oh yeah, amazing piece. light but gives you enough warmth in the chest, so your arms could be less sweaty. Works really well with J99, you just wear V5-PX on top of t-shirt and cover everything with coat. You don't even need to zip it, it's still would be cozy enough.
