Acronym F/W 08.09

[Fingathing]

Any news when the new stuff is hitting the shelves?.

[KicksNotBombs]

Collection should be up on the website sometime this week.

[Fingathing]

This week at the Glade?

[Optimus Prime]

i heard october or late september

[Shinigami]

Anyone know how much the 3A-7TS is going to go for on the-Glade this season?

[Fingathing]

No sneak pics of the collection for Fall?

As for the 3TA price, probably the same as last season.

[Fingathing]

How come cheaper for overseas?,I assumed because Acronym was European it be cheaper.

[seenmy]

and its not technicaly cheaper as your own countrys taxes will be added on recipt of the item,you will find most euro stores sell tax free to us customers.

[Shinigami]

Tax free to US customers, but we get raped by import duties if we're not lucky. Had to pay almost $300.00 in duties for 2 acronym soft shell and a beanie two years ago. So yea its all about taxes no matter where you are.

[Clockwork_killa]

I had a preview of the collection the other day, definitely looking good, especially the new bags, only 2 jackets though.

[Fingathing]

Shiiiit need some pics of the jackets, or at least some tease if they're comparable to previous seasons?.

[KicksNotBombs]

Are you talking about the 09 GT's? I actually don't like any of them...

[KicksNotBombs]

When will the 0809 GTs be released? I missed out on the pre-orders...

[Fragment]

Ive seen the new E-J1A, and that one is mine!

[KicksNotBombs]

Picture Picture!

[Fingathing]

Yeah pics please!

[idrawdinosaurs]

worst customer support for a brand of this price point/caliber. fuck firmament. buy tadgear and fuck these bitches. shit is way better, and their soft shell hoodie is dope as fuck. wool has been long sold out, but that shark skin is the tits. btw, fuck firmament.

[KicksNotBombs]

Uhhh Firmament only stocks Acronym? Acronym's customer service is fucking insane. They're nice as hell, I have no clue what you're talking about...

[Darkeside]

i think more details will be required here please dinosaurs

[Clockwork_killa]

Yeah acronyms own customer service is great. I recently lost the strap keeper clip thing of my ACR messenger. I sent them an email and I got a reply from Michaela herself (the joint CEO of the brand). Ok initially the clip didnt turn up for ages, Im going to blame the german post for that, but after I told her I still hadnt recieved it after about a month she posted one out to me personally. Now thats pretty good customer service if you ask me.

Firmament is not acronym.

[KicksNotBombs]

Firmament is pretty fucked up, I agree. Their shipping rates and customer service is terrible. But there's no way that should represent Acronym's own customer service.

Btw, Darkside are you from Darkside Initiative?

[Darkeside]

^no, sadly not.

[idrawdinosaurs]

Darkside - I got the ss-j2 wool hoody while in Japan. The seam sealed side zip came off and began to snag my tees. A total of 2 tees, and one sweater were affected after my feeble attempts to fix the problem.

Then the dual zips stopped catching.

I called Firmament and they gave me the run around. I then asked for Acronym info and was never given a reply.

I remained courteous throughout the correspondence, and took several pictures to indicate where the problems. They were first receptive, but eventually gave me the run around.

I have sent things back to North Face and Arcteryx, all of which cost a fraction of this Acronym piece.

I think ACR design is still beyond what you can find from the likes of Marmot, TNF, and Arcteryx, but I would not want to pay as much as I did to get dicked around again.

And as for TadGear I own the Predator and that thing is a best. Had it for my Whistler trip and paired with with softshell and some baselayers and could not have asked for more.

I heard really good things abour their softshells and will likely pick one up this coming Winter.

[KicksNotBombs]

So Firmament sucks, Acronym doesnt?

Yeah, but firmament is not ACR, yes Errolson Hugh is associated with firmament, but they are not responsible for ACR customer service. I initially contacted firmament when my clip came off, they basically said you didnt buy the bag from us, so we wont help you. They just told me to go find the contact details on the Acr website. Frankly they arent helpful at all unless they want to sell you something.

You could still try getting in touch with ACR Im sure they will help you out, they are really nice people.

[phelen]

Is that all the jackets they're releasing since someone mentioned here there was 2 outerwear pieces this fall. Not impressed so far.

[phelen]

Hmmm could be worth waiting still then.

[KicksNotBombs]

I Neeeed Them!

[aaronk_83]

695 euro for the backpack is insane

[phelen]

Wasn't worth waiting after all.
