New in Store 10.2.13

New Acronym in Store 10.2.13.

J38-LP
HARDSHELL
LORO PIANA® STORM SYSTEM® COAT
J38-LP is our first product made with Loro Piana® Storm System® fabric. Naturally high-tech, the 100% wool Doeskin face fabric is made from the highest quality raw materials. Bonded to a waterproof breathable membrane and treated with Rain System® DWR, it is both beautiful and practical at once. Properly cared for, its aesthetic and functional qualities will remain unchanged over time.
The coat itself is precisely cut and form fitting. Acronym tailoring means both freedom of movement and elegance of line are maintained. The array of 6 pockets has been carefully laid out on the jacket torso, and is complimented by Gravity Pockets on both left and right sleeves. The two stage center front closure can be worn with revere storm flaps up or down to suit occasion and conditions.

J36-GT
HARDSHELL
GORE-TEX® PRO INTEROPSæ JACKET
J36-GT is a next generation Acronym Interopsæ jacket. Combining some of our oldest ideas with some of our newest techniques, its every aspect has been carefully considered. Built with next generation Gore-Tex® Pro fabric technology for improved ruggedness, increased breathability**, and greater comfort in more conditions.
The new slanted flak pocket aligns perfectly with 3A INTEROPSæ bag straps and allows for quick right handed access. The pocket is also the mount point for a Fidlock® magnetic dock point, giving the jacket a kind of \\\\\\\'automatic lock\\\\\\\'; with or without closing the main zip. The 3D collar ridge stabilizes the collar even when the jacket is worn open. It does the same with the unpacked hood, keeping it tight to the body; ideal for use at speed. And if that's not stable enough, simply roll the fast hood and stow it away in seconds flat, sight unseen.
*A combination of old world and new, the KG fit block is a hybrid of vintage Japanese kimono and modern technical sportswear pattern making. Generous (zero resistance DFMA fit) yet economical (minimal seams, tape, and weight), it feels light and effortless.
**Up to 28% more breathability compared to previous generation Gore-Tex® Pro products. Garments engineered with Gore-Tex® Pro product technology are built for maximized ruggedness and are ideal for extreme and extended use.
