    The PB in J63-PB stands for Persistent/Permanent Beading which is how Gore describes the material, dont know why acronym changed it to Film Out on later jackets

    Honestly it's been 2-3 years that i really don't like the direction they are taking aesthetically, creatively. So i still wear my acr collection (J67-FO, J1L-GT for example) in cold season and still enjoying it, looking forward for that period of the year, ,mixing with shadow project pieces and it feels great. That being said, with each new collection i wish to really like the new items. It's not happening. It's been quite the opposite and i feel less and less invested in the brand.

      I still really enjoy acronym contents. As for the brand I do appreciate how much more affordable and accessible it has become especially when they’re on discount. I enjoying wearing acronym less for style or hype but strictly for the functionality aspect. Every piece that I own was purchased for very specific purposes to my daily use. I completely agree with you on the p43. I don’t get to wear it much but when that situation calls for it I think it’s super good.

    I love acronym, but as I've grown up I stared to notice the main acronym pieces i use the most are the ones that aren't anything aesthetically too crazy. My p10, p37, j44l, and LA10 come to mind. Do still wear things like my p23 or my j72? Yes, but the versatility of my simplistic pieces does a lot more for me. I can throw them on at any time and it looks good and still functional. New age acronym seems to be going into that "avant-garde" direction, and it just kills appeal for me. I really hope they go back to basics with future designs, or if they do continue down this route why not also re release updated older models. I know there's plenty of people that would love a pair of p37s or a j72.

    Still very interested in acronym reviews, and you are the best. I think techwear is amazing, I agree that acronym is getting a bit too unfocused on functionality but I bet this is just a phase. They seem pretty innovative, and production takes time so we may just be in for a few years of strange stuff but I’m sure they will blow our minds again. Appreciate you A LOT man. I’d love to see DIY modifications from you, acronym or otherwise, cause you have an eye for detail and have experienced a lot of techwear. DIY tension zip?

I agree the whole oversized thing is not for me, though I appreciate the drape effect on the J100. I tried on a J36 in black at the Labstore in London recently and was surprised at how much I liked it.

    Really enjoyed the video Agga. I love casual reviews like this. Would love to see more in-depth reviews of Acronym and the like.
    Answering your question, I'm actually a huge fan of some of Acronym's recent work. I picked up quite a few pieces from this season and have been rotating through them quite often. I've become even more into the brand because of this season. I understand why some legacy buyers aren't into the new direction, but personally I feel like it's a great twist on the brand that has allowed me to match Acronym with some other labels in my closet (Not just building Acronym uniforms everyday ha!). (Specifically, I love my SK30, SP57-DS, SP38-M, J1WB-E, J123A-GT, and J118-WS-EX) I also really love the inclusion of the spike tape items. I know that's a super niche take, but I find myself wearing the spiked Acronym more often than non-spiked. I'm going to take your side on the J100-FO/WS though. It's not that it's wide or the material is strange, it's that it's not a good-looking jacket at all. The fact that both iterations have all sizes in stock right now says that most agree.
    Looking forward to more videos man! Keep it up!

    I personally enjoy the acronym videos, be it piece reviews or seasonal reactions. Price aside, I would love to experience the J100-FO. I agree oversize might not look great/too trendy, but I try not to let that deter me to imagining a look for myself with it. It's been styled with SK30DS, and it lends itself well to the samurai aesthetic with the sleeves out. The pocket in the front is kind of what kills the vibe for me. otherwise, along with P59-E, it's just dune vibes. I think the strap for the phone pocket is weird, but i see the function i guess, just extra security with gravity, I think the overall silhouette is great.
    i got into acr post-17 around 22, and i suppose i could be considered an enjoyer of late-gen pieces/seasons. i enjoy the blazers lows as my first shoe collab, first pants/piece was alpha green P34DS, and slowly building collections from there. I mostly have pieces from ss22 and onward, started cargos, then ss22 coyote tanktop & trousers, classic J58WS for the classic insulation bought second hand cheap, FW22 white longsleeve & NG4 blackzip. tanktop and gaiter clicked the ecosystems for me and wanted to continue xp function. J103GTV in the rainy winter first goretex xp, so rainproof wow, SS23 longsleeve turned me onto pima cotton, and SP29-M & P30ALDS & S32PX sale rounded seasonal wear. got more SS22 J95WS coach in black for cheap this summer, and the summer xp continued to open my xp. after P41DS raf sale, im thinking no more dryskin pants necessary, feels redundant to me maybe like with you and goretex jackets, but otherwise, the tech keeps surprising me with every new purchase. I personally feel there are pieces I like from every drop, kind of sleepers or brainworms as you would say. I think we've just been following the brand for a while is all, and it is a long wait for seasonal releases. I really dig the concepts each season tho. SS22 school vibes & cool dusty color, WF22 snowy burglar, still dying for that SS23 blackbucket hat-greenblack J111-P48 combo, FW23 reflective mech silhouette, SS24 spikes prob most inaccessible bc of liekly wardobe incompatability with spikes.
    I do feel you with some sentiment tho, i dont dig the font heavy stuff, and numbers in iterations, ie 68 -23Q, while I respect the experimentation, cant help but feel something cooler could have filled that slot. id say i still positively look forward to new drops tho. anyway, thanks for sharing the vid!

      Cheers, I've personally never liked EL. I really have always felt that what they are doing was too close to some Acronym designs like the P10 and in combination with use of the same main fabrics. Other brands that have been entering and staying in my closet are Nonnative, And Wander, but also been buying mostly old used stuff, like UniqloxLemaire, Stone Island Pertex jacket, and old Nikelab ACG cargos, that are really amazing if you can find them at a good price (under E150), esoecially if you give them a new dye and wash them with some Nikwax Cotton Proof, they can really look like new and be water repellent again.

    Errolson has completely lost it, honestly whenever I see him still modeling his own clothes in his 50s it gives me the deepest most spiritual cringe. Like everything he has done recently is just phoned in, the build quality of all the jackets iv purchased has been garbage, literally seams coming apart after light use.
    Seems like he has been to busy rabidly posting loads of wild anti Israel stuff on his IG to design anything good.
    My Jewish friend lost at at me for wearing an acronym jacket, and said the guy is a rabbid anti semite, I didn’t believe but she said errolson got in her boyfriends face for wearing a Star of David at some party in Berlin. I guess the 50 Israel stories a day make a bit more sense. 😂😂😂

      I have not really found the quality (control) of the newer stuff is less than the older. I've had quite some issues with older garments too, but usually was able to get that fixed somehow. I do have issues with the way he has gotten so political in his social media. I mean there is an Acronym account now too,, but before that his stories had already become some kind of news channel. This is not why I started following him. He should have kept it about fashion in my opinion, but he can do whatever he wants. I personally have just muted his stories.

      I do agree the new direction has been so cringe inducing, especially with the use of spike studs on the latest Spring collection. Retailers opting out of using the spikes in photoshoots for their online retail pictures says everything about the poor design choices they make.
      As for politics, he can say whatever he wants on his personal instagram account. It has since been separate from the acronym account. If your friend thinks being anti-zionist is equivalent to being an all around anti-jew that says more about your friend's position on the ongoing genocide.
