J29U-PX doesn't have Alpha Direct insulating fibres lining the main Pertex Quantum fabric. They're the same otherwise, minus the addition of two exterior pockets to the U version

Do you know why it’s basically impossible to find out more about this jacket? For a long time I thought it was either fake or a typo except that I saw a glimpse of a spec sheet in some video. Apparently it was released a year or so ago but I can’t see much trace of it online

you can usually find wayback machine snapshots of most recent items, and somewhat reliably from up to 2016. before that the archives are pretty fragmented.

How small of a run did the J29-PX have? I’m looking for one size M to buy but like all the other J29s they come up rarely. Also I’m wondering if there is also a separate J29U-PX or is it the same as the J29-PX? 

Like @hanzen1138 said, no AD lining, but they also don't have PL insulation, nor the holster pockets & have 2 tensionzip hand pockets replacing the old standard flapped pockets. The collar is also slightly differently, but not functionally.

Scammer alert. Be careful, don't buy. 

Recently my friend bought it from him on reversible and he send an empty acr cardbox with USB cable to him. Grailed listing still up and he just confirmed that the jacket is still available for sale.

[thehumanreisberg]

If there was just the cable in the Parcel, the main question might be, if the actual weight of the parcel has been documented. 
 

J1A size m 750g + parcel itself 

usb cable 50g? 
 

just an idea to get that money back

[Yan90]

Buyer have a ppal protection cuz he bought it via reversible website. Usually "item isn't as described" is enough reason for a refund from ppal. 

P. S. I believe the seller's account has been hacked. 

[Oesmark]

How have you done with the J99-WS. TTS or down size? Cheers!

[thehumanreisberg]

I am wondering if there is someone of you who is capable of printing these crazy 3D Clips for the ACR Blazers or knows an Adress where to buy them?

No clue if you're based in the states or not, but a lot of public libraries out here these days have 3D printers.

Size down

[sumant28]

Selfishly I was really hoping the J29 restock would have been the J29U-PX. The J29-WS is a sick jacket that was sold out and slept on but it’s like the J29U-PX is so rare that even on this forum it’s hardly mentioned as being owned by anyone. All I can see is a couple of people in Asia managed to get a hold of one in the entire world.

Trust me, J29-WS isn’t slept on. This is at least the third time it’s been re-released so maybe it won’t sell out instantly like the last time it dropped but it won’t be sitting on the mothersite, that’s for sure. As for the J29U-PX, it’s only dropped once. Maybe you’ll get another chance. And if you’re a size small @nathan_ posted one in the BST thread

And it looks like the trend of old jackets getting renamed continues with the modernised J46 becoming a J103

[Davidwyh1998]

Is anyone interested in the J103-GTV coat also? I would like to hear some feedback on this one before purchase : )

I’m sure I’m in the minority… but sizing is getting out of control.

1/2 chest for J29 XL is 58cm

… same as half waist in p23.

E out here trying to wardrobe Grimace

[AvantSol]

I dunno what the concern is about. One is a profile fitting top and one is a wide fitting bottom. Two different ends of the sizing spectrum.

[meccaNIZM]

Just saying the waist in the P23s in XS is still too big on me and XL in the new J29 is too small… 

I get different fits, just been a little too drastic over the past several years.

J103-WS with lining like the j99u-ws, I am definitely down for it.

Anyone know what does gtv feel like compare to gtpl?

GTV face fabric feels better, thicker, and not noisy. the backer is very close.

J46-WS and J46U-WS both already exist

This bothers me more than it should. Feels so lazy and disconnected from the trajectory....

[Yan90]

Renamed jackets also so weak imo. Real downgrade. J46 still >>>>> j99, 103, etc. Same for the 86, it's like a jacket from the riot division. 

[DeadHype]

I just got my 3a-3ts back from Bagjack, they replaced the old RACCAGNI zipper which didn’t aged well imo.

I already send it there a few years ago to get the corners reinforced which was also a pretty good upgrade since they tend to get holes over the time. 

It took about one week until it was back with me. 
Very good communication and service! 
 

Just wanted to share the result because I am pretty happy with the more subtile look it got and the experience with bagjack. 

This was also my first acronym piece I bought and it’s really nice to see how it is holding up and is kind of getting even better over time. I am kind of getting sentimental.
