The Uniqlo Thread

How are the color jeans if anyone has tried them?

They're kinda crappy, rise is ridiculously low, they fit even slimmer than the skinny jeans (size up) and the wide leg opening doesn't look good with the skinniness in the top block. Considering how cheap they are it's worth it if they fit on you, but they fit awful on me...

Sounds like a bad fit. I have fairly big thighs so doubt they would work, thanks for the heads up.

So, you guys think I can survive Tahoe for a weekend with a mash up of Uniqlo gear?

Skiing, bbq, alcohol, etc.

Thinking another down jacket in maroon, mix and match heattech tops with longjohns as layering. Maybe 1 lambswool sweater. A pair of sweat top and bottom. Not sure about the trousers. Jeans will get soaked obviously.

no, you'll definitely die of swag starvation

Sounds like you will be toasty in that.

how accurate are those jeans measurements for tapered vs slim fit

looking for a 508 fit or tapered 514

the slim fit oxfords are pretty dope. Probably the best fit out of any OBCD I've copped (< $100). Will probably need to tailor the length, but that's minimal work/cost to get a perfect fit considering the low initial outlay

now to wait for a re-stock so I can pounce...

Uniqlo (Fast Retailing Co Ltd) just bought J Brand for 290 million US dollars.

Interesting. Never even heard of J Brand. I wonder if this will change Uniqlo a bit or if it's just a portfolio based decision. They should have just used the money to buy Jil Sanders sou IMO.

You might have to wait a while. Their initial stock in most sizes/colors sold out on day 1 of the store opening, and they've yet to be restocked. Occasionally 1 or 2 random ones might show up from time to time (probably returns), but that's it.

Really pleased with this batch of knits got the fuschia, wine, etc efm v necks and a black lambswool pullover (also glad I got them bc the colors sold out quick).

I have a lambswool cardi from an initial order and the knitting/softness on this one is superior. I have a hunch about the stock numbers and I'm pretty sure the other version of my cardigan is of this type of wool on the crewneck.

 

[Coldsnap]

cool, i need me a lambswool pullover

Looks like Tahoe is on, hitting up the store this weekend most likely if anyone needs anything.

Shirts in neck and sleeve sizes. Lots of neck and sleeve sizes. And 3 for $70.
