Today I took on a messenger bag due to popular demand. I've got more messages than I can count asking me to make an Acronym 3A1 style messenger... but I'm not doing it. And not because I don't like it, I really want one for my bag collection! It's an existing product and I have nothing but respect for Errolson. I see a lot of misc. shit talk about ACR. And, I don't even own any acronym myself (am broke!) when I say this: At the end of the day techwear would not exist if it weren't for E so I'm not going to tread on his toes..So Instead I went back in time, I think is far enough to not be pissing anyone off, to 2009. Back to what I feel is likely the strongest collection to ever walk a runway: Undercover FW09, specifically the weirdly cool messenger bag from that release. I put together some reference imagery in the gallery for those unfamiliar..I kept roughly the proportions of the original, only I changed up the construction to create volume along the bottom. Otherwise my project today is pretty much a toned-town copy of Jun Takahashi's 2009 design... only with reflective textiles, modern softshell liner, and a hypalon exterior. I love how this thing turned out, and hopefully me making this my daily carry bag in some way pays honor to Mr Takahashi's brilliance..This is my concession to the much demanded ACR messenger.I hope you enjoy, check out the gallery below:http://ift.tt/2sMEQgj... 'cause it's worth a try, I'm just going to put this out there... If you have an Undercover FW09 Earmuff Maniac coat in a size2 in the Red-Knit pattern. This is my one and only GRAIL. I'll literally make you anything you want in trade for it!.That wraps day 19 of the 30day challenge of making something new from scratch each day! Thank you for everyone again, your support so far has been beyond incredible. Please share your feedback and criticisms below!ps. please stop asking for messenger bags now ;).-end- via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2CF1APm
