Technical fashion label ACRONYM introduces the Drop A installment of its Spring/Summer 2022 collection. In time for the warmer seasons ahead, the brand interprets items such as the J94-VT varsity jacket, which is now made with lightweight 3-layer fabric including lyocell, wool-blend twill, and paneled polyester, and ePTFE-coated nylon taffeta.
The jacket is enclosed with a zipper and snap button and ready for all weather conditions. This is followed by the J96-GT 3L Gore-Tex Ripstop Jacket that makes an appearance in a more compact design for the season. It is offered in the tonal options of either black or khaki with a micro ripstop construction that uses 40 denier nylon yarns. It has a slightly dull matte coating to round it out.
