12:50 isn't it for when you sit down? That's also why I love two-way zippers.. you can pull the lower one up a little to be less restricted when sitting down. Second advantage, when you wear a small sling bag underneath it gives you extra room..
Think this was the 3rd video I seen after finding this channel a few days ago and had this jacket on my mind since then. The £1800-£2000 price I seen everywhere was a bullet I wasn't gonna bite but just found one for £1500 in London no less. Not regretting the purchase, my bank balance does though lol
Thanks for the video. This is a very nice jacket, and adding some stretch is needed. I tried Polartec neoshell in an Enfin Levé piece and the feeling is great. Water-resistance & Strech.
I ended up cutting quite a lot of out this video (originally it was 27 minutes which was just ridiculous) but the bag/spec sheet discussion was one of those parts. It's something I'm keen to talk about in a future video, but I'd totally understand anyone not familiar with the brand and spending such a large amount to be disappointed if they're expecting a luxury unboxing experience that you'd likely find with other high-end brands
This jacket is too plain to justify that price. I’ll rather buy north face if I want a jacket that looks like these. If I’m going to spend over 1k on a jacket I want it to have a unique design
This thing is a god damned work of art & a masterpiece at that. Both in the design aesthetic & the functionality. Way outta my budget but if I had fuck you money I wouldn't think twice about snapping this up. Nike, Adidas, and other sportswear brands really need to take note here & catch up. If one of them introduced something this bad ass looking with even just half the features in the $250-$300 price range I'd snap it up.
Hey Antwon! Big fan and first time commenter here. I'm not sure anyone har answered this yet but having worked with outdoor jacket design and actually know what that bottom button is for. Well, on outdoor gear at least. It's used for ventilation in rain, snow and/or wind. It sounds weird but you zip up your jacket, button the button and the open the the zip from the bottom as much as you need. This keeps the jacket fitted to the body but you get a large central ventilation point. This is great in high output activity where pit zips simply are not good enough. Don't know if this is applicable to this jacket but it's the reason for that button on most if not all hiking and skiing jackets with a double zip. Love the channel!
I like military style clothes and have been struggling to find techwear jackets I like that aren't incredibly subdued and greyman. this is exactly what ive been looking for
Did you say what size you were wearing? You've convinced me to buy this but i don't know if i should go medium or small. Found some on the after market
I feel sizing up on this one doesn't make sense - the stretchy parts would allow enough freedom of movement if you got your true size. The jacket looks too big and unflattering when sized up.
Thanks to your video, totally convinced me buying it on SSENSE (Size XS -- last piece) at $1272. (Acronym or Gore-Tex shall pay you PR fees!) Normally wearing a size S (US), but the XS works perfect on me.
my idea for the button on the bottom is to use the button in the middle but like it's windy so you do the button on the bottom to keep the jacket from flapping around without needing to zip it up all the way. kind of like securing the jacket while allowing yourself the breathability still.
The semi small zip option at the bottom of the jacket is for when you sit down, dude. It prevents the coat from bunching up at the bottom. You will learn the ways of fashion young grasshopper... ;p
I'm with you there. I'm a cybergoth and while I love the style in its setting, I feel so damned ostentatious just walking down the high street in them!
My winter jacket is broken. But only the zip. This has just inspired me to sow a special cool zip in. Expensive jackets are faaaar out of my price range. But I can sow. So im here to find cool features i can add to my projects.
I cannot wear ARCRONYM clothing because I ride an electric unicycle and need lvl 2 armor in the shoulders, elbows, back, knees, and hips. With all of the amazing features their products have, NONE of them provide armour slits/pockets in the jackets or pants at all. I would think there would be a line of high performance wear for people in my position. Antwan, if you ever see this, please ask to have them think about this concept. You have more of an "in" than I do and this would open up their market significantly. I would love to wear the J-16, but if I wipe out going 40mph with it on, it won't matter how many features it has, my body will be wrecked and so will the jacket. There's no Kevlar or places to slide in armour in anything they make for it to be worn by everyone who doesn't use an automobile for transportation. Seems like a no-brainer to me, but only because I have that use case. With how expensive ARCRONYM's clothing is, I cannot ever justify the ROI cost to value ratio.
They're some wool 'smartphone' gloves so you can use touch screens. I think they were a Christmas present a long time ago so not sure where they're from!
Really thoughtful review ! You mentioned this jacket and colorway as a good entry in the Acronym brand and I totaly get where you come from. I would love for you to address if and how the item you are reviewing could be added in to a more casual/mainstream/streetwear look. For example the J16-GT might look easy to add in a weekly rotation, but I'm not sure how I could mix it with my current daily pants and sneakers. PS : Cheers from France, that Baguette pouch looks promising. Would a bottle of wine fit on the other side ? :)
Thanks! Good point for sure, something like this suits more obviously technical-looking clothes better than ultra-minimal stuff purely because of how complex it looks, but I still think it works as a statement item. You'd get a bottle of wine in there easily, perfect for date night!
My favorite Acronym jacket to drop this season was the J91-WS. Absolutely insane attention to detail and the Schwarzrot color is beautiful, especially for the fall.
Perfect jacket in every sense. Like you say, the colours per section in this one were extremely well thought out! Those hood poppers feel strong enough when the hood is cinched?
One of the best ACRNYM jackets ever but not a big fan of the triangles on the back I appreciate the functionality behind it but it kills the authentic a little bit but still a 9-10 outta 10
Hey Antwon, can you check a cool jacket from Indonesia The brand is Iwearzule and the jacket called EZIO ADAPT 2.0, it gots 25 features on a single jacket
Not only I don’t want to but new Acronym products, I’m less and less interested in watching the reviews. Same zippers, pockets, gore-tex… The whole techwear needs some fresh air.
As someone who isn't into fashion but is into technical outdoor gear this jacket confuses me. Using goretex pro but then having stretch panels that reduce the waterproofing, as well as a hood that snaps on and so has gaps around the base just confuses me. Could use standard goretex and be 1/3 the price, feel the same and function the same.
excluding the fashion talk, the main thing that pulls me back is to see what he will introduce himself in the next video as - "hey whats up, this is arithmetic nightmare here"
This jacket is truly beautiful, absolutely love the colour on this and those features, especially the added panels!
Thanks! For sure, so much to like on this one
but the price is scary >w
Watching these vids about Acronym stuff is like watching Let's Plays on new games when your PC sucks
Holy fuck man that is so true

Yes it is! Also great for in the car, and let's not forget riding a bike. Super useful actually

excited for next weeks video, sounds like its going to be a fun time
Hope to see more brands using the top open zipper in the future. As you said: Such a cool feature.
Thanks for the review, man! Your videos are always so thorough and the edits are funny
A vid on Acronym and value would be great
Thanks for the video. This is a very nice jacket, and adding some stretch is needed.
I tried Polartec neoshell in an Enfin Levé piece and the feeling is great. Water-resistance & Strech.
What do you think about the costumes in the new Dune movie?
Kindly, does anyone from the USA understand how acronym sizes are? I usually buy Large to XLarge. Thanks
That escape zip function is SO COOL.
Can acronym jackets actually be wore in the outdoors? Meaning taking them on winter hikes etc.
Yes definitely - I've worn my J1A a few times hiking
This jacket is 3 thousand dollars in Australia not including shipping
i will forever want this jacket but never be able to afford it
The size and fit was great on you, what are your measurements?
hey! what rings are u wearing?
The plain steel one is from Vitaly and the X-shaped one is from Arxiome!
(When) Will you do a winter shoe video this year?
pls just stand still, damn it

The fact that you spend 1600€ on a jacket and they stuff it into an ordinary zip lock bag is actually insulting.
I ended up cutting quite a lot of out this video (originally it was 27 minutes which was just ridiculous) but the bag/spec sheet discussion was one of those parts. It's something I'm keen to talk about in a future video, but I'd totally understand anyone not familiar with the brand and spending such a large amount to be disappointed if they're expecting a luxury unboxing experience that you'd likely find with other high-end brands
Wish I could afford that shit omg

btw , when someone wheres his jacket like a bag is dorky not cool , lean off gaming for a bit , get a laid
You have a girlfriend? Oh sorry, I thought you said you were a gamer. I'm going to have to talk to the council about this.

I received my J16-GT jacket today. It's really great! Thank you for your helpful review ;)
As mentioned on Reddit already: love the color!

Nice jacket. Gonna sell a kidney for this
WHY WOUKD YOU OAY THAT MUCH FOR A JACKET?!?!
I still can’t get into techwear pants. Jackets I can but I feel like full techwear fits sometimes just look ridiculous in real life.

Best jacket for sneaking snack into movie theater
TRUE
Thank you very much, this Video really helped me to decide which (first acrnm) jacket to buy. Now i Need a Review on the J1L - GT
I'm buying less but better, by not buying this jacket.
I think I’m going to sell my other kidney and get a J91 WS
holy shit its 1700 euros (300 euros tax)
this is the sickest jacket. also the size fits perfect on u
What pants are you wearing?
This channel is the best space on TH-cam
Wow congrats on the 88k subs! When I was in the tech wear style you had 12k. That is awesome
Thanks so much! Honestly the amount of support has been awesome especially in the last few months
holygrail new jacket💪
"I have enough black jackets already"... HERESY!
06:33 is the best part imo
what's the name of that stone island crew neck 14:00 looks great w this jacket.
Thanks! It's a Shadow Project one from around FW18, I think it was called Drop Pocket Crewneck or something like that

Can anyone tell what gloves Antwon wears at 10:32?
They're some wool 'smartphone' gloves so you can use touch screens. I think they were a Christmas present a long time ago so not sure where they're from!
“Buying less but buying better is what I’m all about” nah mate how many jackets now ha ha
looool I knew someone would call me out on that. OK *in theory* I advocate for buying less but I definitely don't do that myself
Ha ha we all do it tho. Since I got into it and your channel it’s made me worse ha ha
Where do I get the gloves he wore, what were they called?
They're just some unbranded wool gloves, nothing special!

Thought the exact same thing! I should be getting mine in soon. Very excited as it's my first ACR purchase
is it possible to have a crush on a jacket? 😳
Why are you muzzled ?
I got this in black as I don't have too many black jackets 😉. It really is a fantastic looking and performing thing.
Perfect jacket in every sense. Like you say, the colours per section in this one were extremely well thought out!
Those hood poppers feel strong enough when the hood is cinched?
Thank god the bread fits in!!
I know right, smh imagine owning a jacket without an Acronym BreadFit pocket system
@@ThisIsAntwon hahahah!
What you think about Reebok Instapump Fury X GORE-TEX INFINIUM?
I thought they looked pretty cool! Seems like they released very quietly though, and not at many retailers
One of the best ACRNYM jackets ever but not a big fan of the triangles on the back I appreciate the functionality behind it but it kills the authentic a little bit but still a 9-10 outta 10
And the aiden pearce coat in a futuristic version
plz refer to cyberpunk credits , not all of us are familiar with primitive/pleub manie ...
on the chest is 2 sizes smaller not one or slight ...wtf im watching , 13y.o. kids talking about npc clothes
do you have any of those 1000 dollar Acronym pants that make you look like you shit your self?

6:48 ....thank you for that...
Actually think the larger sizing works better, it holds up nicely as a slightly oversized fit and think it packs more of a punch because of it.
I want it www
