The Uniqlo Thread

[phreak]

Called them yesterday to put in a phone order, ended up just getting a name to send my order through email with an ATTN: made out to that person. I gave item numbers and they checked availability within the hour. Called this morning and they got my CC info and will ship out today.

Quite painless

I've been thinking about copping a blazer and was wondering how does it fit? I'm looking for a slim fit and cropped.

Thanks!

I'm headed to the Soho location tomorrow if anyone wants me to check on anything. I also heard today that they're opening up two more NYC locations -- one on 34th Street maybe?

I'm not much of a fan of their blazers. They tend to be a bit boxy for me.

How the block has changed. The stretch of 34th Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, is now filled with far more upscale international retailers. This year, brokers say Japanese apparel store Uniqlo has been scouring the strip for multistory locations -- just months after signing one of the most expensive leases ever in Manhattan farther north on Fifth Avenue.

Japanese discount clothing store Uniqlo may take the former Anne Taylor space at 31 West 34th Street, which the estate owns. However, local investors Isaac Oved and Charles Ishay control that property through a long-term leasehold.

Good news keeps coming from Uniqlo. Earlier this week, the roster for this year's Designer's Invitation Project was revealed, and now, we learn that the rumor about the brand's Herald Square location is officially true. Taking over one floor of Loft and two floors of Dr. Jay's, the brand new Uniqlo is set to open in late fall of 2011, right after the upcoming massive Fifth Avenue location opens up in early fall.

ooo nice thx sha

 

[Hollywars]

How about instead of 3 in NY, they put one in DC

 

[randomkoreandude]

lol that wont happen for at least another couple of years

BUT this is still good news for everyone else. by opening extra stores they will have MORE inventory set out for the US as a whole.

the phone/email orders with 8 shipping is fine by me for +j items. i hate them telling me that its sold out after being released for only 1 week, so having more stores will help

Whoever said the blazers fit boxy, I'm not real sure what your body type is but that doesn't make sense to me. My work suits are all Uniqlo and +J. They all have a good, slim fit. The difference usually being +J fits 1/2 smaller than tagged.

I still get most of my basics (and wardrobe I guess) from Uniqlo just because it's so cheap and easy to tailor.

I'm not even a big lifter but I have normal, non-Japanese shoulders and a drop. Even my size +J needs to a darted like crazy to avoid huge... blousing? at my mid back. The problem is, I have to get +J slim so the arms are adequately slim but those already come with the front darts. Now my work shirts are all going to look like ******* arts 'n crafts projects.

^Were the Japan sized shirts ever released this season? I stopped by yesterday and all there was were the regular US sizes. I need work shirts and the sleeves on the Japanese M were the perfect length for me.

I noticed that the front darting on the slim shirts are only really obvious on solid color shirts. Patterned shirts tend to hide it. I agree that the slim shirts need to be more fitted/less blousy. They need to make slim shirts with no back pleats and lower back darts. Last season they had those formal tuxedo shirts with the plain back and back pleats and they fit me perfect.

From the Uniqlo site:

"UNIQLO is proud to announce it will open its third New York City location at 31 West 34th Street. The 34th Street store is set to open late in the fall of 2011, following the opening of the largest UNIQLO Global Flagship in the world on New York's prestigious Fifth Avenue in early fall 2011. These stores will join the current UNIQLO location in Manhattan's Soho district."
