Acne is from Sweden. They are becoming more and more famous internationally. I live in Sweden and know that the brand is very famous and popular around here. Naturally they are quite expensive as they are designer jeans however it is a considerably good price for designer jeans. I do not own a pair myself and have never really looked into the company much but I know a lot of people around here like their jeans. Guys, especially, like Acne jeans. Acne also makes other clothing items aside from jeans.

If Acne is going to be played out in Sweden soon then you guys are spoiled. Too many good designers / labels in one region.
The line is definitely not earth shattering in innovation, but they make extremely well directed pieces for everyday wear. Simple, well designed, NO LOGOS ANYWHERE, and much less than luxury brands. The modern silhouettes they use, alone, make the price you pay worth it, and I completely disagree about 90% of the denim washes being crap. (I would say it's more like 30%, AND the new "Pure" wash is horrible compared to the old "Pure" wash.) I think it is a great line for what it is but it is not like Acne could every replace Galliano.....

In terms of jeans, I swear by Acne Jeans, but their washes are quite horrible as some of you pointed out.
The Cash and Raw washes are the only washes I'm currently wearing, in fact I love them so much, I have multiple pairs of each (it might sound silly to have multiple pairs of the exactly same jeans, but to me it makes perfectly sense), just as backup.
Their clothes (especially their jackets and jerseys) are very well made, and considering their pricepoints, it's actually pretty decent. You can find an almost identical military jacket at Dior Homme, but with a three times higher pricetag, but somewhat the same quality (if not worse).
To the whole "played out" thing... How can something that anonymous, standard and basic be played out? I mean, often you can't really distinguish AJ from Cheap Mondays or A.P.Cs... I would perfectly understand this if this was a pair of True Religion jeans or something like that.. because then you would have something completely recognizable, in form of a loud backpocket design. So when you are going about in your TR jeans or whatever, and everyone else has them as well, it makes you and the others look like walking billboards, and those who don't have them, can immediately recognize them, that's when it's played out. With AJ it just isn't the case, because they are so anonymous, and basic.
Lastly, those huge markups are insane, I can't even start explain this ridicule.

i currently own five pair of acne jeans, but have had like over 10 i think, i bought these jeans because i didnt knew any other brands except from like evisu/lee/diesel/nudie and other brands which were selling at the store, so i bought much acnejeans under one short period because i didnt have more information about other labels, and acne seemed cool then 
the jeans i own is max cash, hex cash, max lost&found, mod miner and max dry clean, i had raw jeans but the denim is so sucky so i throw them away after some months. you shouldnt buy acne raw jeans when you can get much better denim for the same price (apc/julian red/nudie).
as for the washes, look at julian red, even if this is a highly subjective the julian red washes is much better then acnes, for exampel ride the lightening and detroit black blue..
yah i maybe wrote wrong, with played out i mean when people open their eyes and get more information about other "underground" jeans they will know that acne isnt the only one, and as people say, everyone wears acne nowdays and it have become status to have it, and much peoply buy it for that reason. but yeah they have no stiching or what so ever so they that slowers the effect.
and about the logo think, they have sweaters, jackets and bluses where they have their loggo printed. back in the days when they had the flameloggo they never used it except from the leatherpiece on the jeans, but know they sometimes print "acne jeans" on their clothes.
btw i bought the nation jacket for a while ago but i sold it away because i didnt like the fit, nice jacket though.

I'm very well acquainted with APC, Julian Red & Nudie Jeans..
I wore APC jeans a couple of years ago, the quality is great, but the fit just isn't my cup of tea.. same goes for Julian Red. On the other hand, I've never worn Nudie, because the backpocket design just looks awful.
Yeah I remember the flame logo, but they don't seem to have it anymore?
The Nation jacket is nice.. the fit is awesome, I have it as well.

yeah i bet you are but none of my friends know julian reds or apc
i bought apc narrow jeans femme(cure) for some months ago, i love the fit, more tight then my max even its fucknig risky to order their jeans, their sizes is just stupid.
yeah indeed, the nudie stiching isnt some thing who motives your buy, but you can easily remove it.
nope i dont know why they changed, now its just the text, but the logo looks almost exactly like the dior hommes have on their underwear

the nation jacket was to big for me even though it was there smallest, it was nice over the shoulders but it werent tight as i want it, i sold it over the retail price though. and bought this jacket from velour, the fit is awesome, AWESOME.

^NO LOGOS!!!!!!
Sorry Realitybites, but some of us don't want a bunch of stitching / embroidery / flames, etc. on our clothing. For the customer that does, there are endless brands, underground and otherwise, that provide that for you.
I totally agree about APC, the fit of their jeans, for my body type, does not work. I love the simplicity and fit of Acne.

Anyhow, no one seems to have discussed the aw06 collection. It's on the website:
http://62.181.215.102/media/aw06_lookbook_media.html
http://62.181.215.102/media/aw06_lookbook_inseason_media.html
Some of it is ok but as overall I think so-so
Also some of the boots feels very much like DH 6.5 heels..

You are definitely right in that Acne somewhat copied the heels from Dior Homme. I have got theirs from this S/S 2006, the Richenbacker in black suede. I already gave Dior#s a try back when they were released but have to admit that the overall shape is a bit too elegant for my liking, I prefer mine to be a bit more chunky-looking. Acne's toe is a bit rounder and thanks to the suede leather, has a much more casual feel. I am definitely digging those in cognac leather though, and will definitely get myself a pair as I already wear my first pair almost on a daily basis.

nah i dont like loggos, read my post again, and again.
i think the new collection is boring overall, as usual, but i like the mix jeans tough, like max but high-waisted, you gotta try them, they were new for ss06 i think, just came into stores.
