ACRONYM Founder Errolson Hugh on Designing Tech and Defying Expectation

[@THECASUALco]

Proud of you dude. Keep it Up.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Yooo thanks so much!

[@TechwearGermany]

The mad lad, he did it. What an interesting and entertaining interview. 10/10 would watch again

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks so much!

[@nakeni]

He officially did it fellas. This is absolutely mental. Congratulations, you made it to the end!

[@ThisIsAntwon]

PEAK ACHIEVED 😍 appreciate the support!

[@clawhands44]

Yoo this was way better than expected! It's a lot more clear to me who Errolson is as a person now, putting a completely new perspective on techwear as well for me. "Interfaces" huh. Great video. Very wholesome and informative.

[@ExMeroMotu9]

Dude, Congrats on this interview with Errolson! You have come a long way my man. Keep climbing bro! Mad respect.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks so much! Out here climbin' mountains ⛰

[@KJ_KJ_KJ_KJ_KJ]

Signal breaking up for errolson so often I expected the rmt guy to show up with “hello friend” stuff

[@Walevolence]

I really hope Techwear can try and cater to folks living in tropical and equator, where jackets and layering may be tricky in these regions. Hope to see some attention for more summer techwear shirts in the near future.

[@acemoto2319]

Would you know which brand caters to tropical equator wear ? Thanks

[@Walevolence]

@@acemoto2319 I'm mixing guerrilla-group, enshadower, riotdivision with some uniqlo, nike, nike acg tops. Im surprised uniqlo J+ oversized button shirts is utilitarian and works well in techwear.

[@acemoto2319]

@@Walevolence Okay great thanks for the insights Wall Froster... Never heard some of these brands before so I'm going to check them out. Continued success and blessings 🐱

[@Gnurklesquimp]

Even if I was crazy rich I still wouldn't buy most brands with insane prices, but this brand would be too hard to resist. (Custom clothes would also be) At the same time I'd also be more willing to trial-and-error with cheaper brands and secondhand etc., and recoup a bit/give new life with reselling.

[@cain035]

It was awesome! Hopefully we'll see more like these!

[@totaldeparture7848]

Great interview! Big ups from Edmonton, Errolson's hometown! :) Probably the coolest person to come out of this city

[@sclr]

Whaaaaaat!? Awesome Antwon! It would be dope to see some more interviews. Even some of the smaller producers/makers are really interesting to me at least.

[@Enders]

Fuck yea great job getting this interview and making great material of it. Glad to see this man and hear him talk about these things on this channel. Big up!

[@Vendice]

Wow antwon this is huge for you dude

[@John-fx2cy]

Zanotti was first with the zippers. That was also the reason I didn't get them. In my context they'd look like a nike eurotrash shoe

[@IvanOsikin]

Well done on an inspiring and insightful interview. I really enjoyed it.

[@EnZoRaHmAn1]

we did it boys

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Couldn't have done it without all of y'all 🙏

[@acrnm]

28:36 - would be so cool to have the opportunity to buy this in the future ***

[@danylol772]

I would really really like to be friends with Errolson so i could just talk with him about anything really, trying to see how he sees the world. The way he interprets things so he can come up with the designs of the clothes, really just get to know him would be interesting.

[@adult93]

"We let the brand speak for itself" I've followed this guy on insta for years cause I liked his fits. Had no idea he was the designer of acronym

[@prplehaze8442]

So he's the model I've been seeing everywhere

[@drdisrespect3000]

also designer

[@ThisIsAntwon]

They made the Weather Station guy from Death Stranding into a real thing 😤

[@icharlie9812]

If Acronym did a phone, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Holy fuck Antwon you made it bro. Love this kind of content - wish we could get more of it!

Acronym x Antwon jacket?

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Now THAT would be the peak

[@VAKinc]

Based on some of the comments in there, could we be seeing an Asus x Acronym phone in the near future?

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Who knows! Seems like a natural evolution if Acronym want to do more tech products (so long as it has a good enough camera for the fit pics 🔥)

[@TheAcrnm]

Did you get us a Antwon20 discount?

[@SnoopiesPoopies]

Holy shit this is impressive

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks!

Lol no way

This guy is so genuinely wanting to share ACRONYM's ideas and development with antwon, really neat to see such a high profile in the fashion industry talk like this

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Really awesome to be able to get that insight!

[@deadbeef2482]

hmmm, makes me wonder: would it make sense for Errolson to go open-source with Acronym's older pieces of clothing?

Never have I ever thought of Antwon and Ersolon Hugh together in one video. Bro I’ve been watching since early 2017 and all I can say is, the level of development is insane. Keep up what you’re doing.👏🏼

[@drdisrespect3000]

Errolson is a great guy who will step aside to talk to anyone who appreciates his work. He is a very humble man, and after meeting him, hes more than what I assumed!

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks! Honestly I didn't imagine it either but here we are

How did you not have like a single fangirl moment

Acronym²

[@onlykens]

antwon is like a kid in a sweet shop

[@ThisIsAntwon]

I really was haha

[@rage8kage]

The option to wholesale more must be so tempting. The products are super marketable but to outsource manufacture to reach that kind of number is a trap. Complicated jackets and articulated pants don't lend itself well to that. But to just print design onto t-shirts and make a quick buck will cheapen the brand. Not many brands manage it successfully. Guess we'll see more colabs since that had been received well so far and it grows the brand.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Exactly, for a lot of brands it's a compramise or balance they have to reach between their 'real' products or their runway stuff and the logo tees or other basic stuff they know they can make higher volumes of at a large margin. Acronym is pretty unique in that as a brand it doesn't really do that at all.

[@caleblatreille8224]

This is an outstanding first interview. You were obviously well prepared but still gave the conversation a very natural flow. Really hope to see more of this kind of content in the future on your channel, the techwear community goes to such lengths to anonymise and de-humanise (in an aesthetic sense, not political) and makes some beautiful things in those efforts, but is fundamentally still a subculture made up of exciting people. Seeing so much personality shine through here was really wonderful.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks, really appreciate it! Would love to do more interviews so we'll see what happens 😀 I think lots of brands could definitely add value by hearing the designer's thought process and how they reached their final products in a way that's not always clear from the products themselves (e.g. with the tension zip here)

I was really looking forward to this since your announcement last week. And you did not disappoint! Amazing interview, great insight into the mind of Errolson Hugh and fantastic questions. Hats off and I'm looking forward to more interviews in the future!

Thanks! Definitely up for doing more, would be cool to hear some insight from more designers in this space

[@Tillyz08]

O SHIT! Props to you dude.

[@tatwho]

Aww ant you’re nearly blushing. Cute

[@Mrliuey]

Huge Congratz on getting this interview! Hopefully this is the first of many to come. Feels like it's the first time Errolson took the time to do an interview with a KZbinr. I feel you asked a lot of relevant questions which he appreciates as its coming from a tech enthusiast and about the culture.

[@ThisIsAntwon]

Thanks! Yeah, Errolson has done a fair few interviews before but they seem to almost always be in writing so it was super cool to be able to get it as a video

[@aidreamz]

Wooow, its the best anime crossover I've ever watch

[@GOD999MODE]

It'd be great if you could tell him to lower his prices and stop ripping people off. You're no genius for selling overpriced, mediocre shit... He needs to know that.

NGL this was a good interview but erlsn completely missunderstood the complaints about the hardware. It's not about the CPU being overkill, it's about pairing it with a graphics card that will be completely outdated in year or so.

Acronym is by far my favorite brand, mixed with nike acg you can't go wrong. And if I wear jeans it's Nudie and Naked & Famous

[@God.EmperorBran]

Over the years i have grown to dislike fashion even though i am interested into fashion still to this date. Antwon is the only KZbinr i kept watching out of every other fashion KZbinr.

[@God.EmperorBran]

I hope Errolson and Kojima make the Bridges jacket again so bad! resellers all bought the used ones and now ill never get one unless they produce it again. I hope someday they make a new DEATH STRANDING ACRONYM jacket again as it was so fricking sick to see the real life world and gaming work together in all the ways imaginable! IDGAF about anyone else but you two!

[@moart87]

I love Acronym, but their products are way too expensive for me to justify the narrow usecase. I can’t wear their stuff in an office setting, and it isn’t made for outdoorsy use and travel. Veilance already covers the cross-functional space so well and is much more affordable (especially considering it hits sales frequently).
