German translation:acid-wash parka
Explanation:
'acid wash' is a fabric finishing process, similar to stone wash and fade-out, achieved by special washings! This must be what is meant here (or maybe I'm biased having just finished a long and horrible translation of a fashion report.

Parker must be a typo for Parka = parka, a type of coat.

Explanation:
no answer, but it occurs to me it may be a typo for "parka" - possibly from the "acid scene"?

Acid-Parka


Explanation:

Und je mehr ich nach \"Acid parka\" googele, desto sicherer bin ich mir. Denke aber auch, dass der Begriff entweder nicht übersetzbar (nur anpassbar an die deutsche Schreibweise) ist oder durch ein vergleichbares Kunstwort ersetzbar ist.
