Anybody rocking these Uniqlo Turtle Necks?

Been thinking of copping two or three to wear this winter so the wind does not go in my neck and look like a pretty boy on the street.
Thoughts?

I have one in solid forest green, and got a couple other colors for my dad. Buy your normal Uniqlo shirt size. Note that the sleeves don't have cuffs; I don't mind, but this is the first thing my dad noticed.

Hey thanks for the response. :)

Decided not to cop...not really liking those open sleeves.

Does anyone think that on Christmas Uniqlo will put their flannels for $12.90 again like they did last year?

Does anyone know if their fleeces stretch at all? It's thick and warm, but the medium is just a tad tighter than I like and larger would be too loose to layer.


Not much, but I do love them. I bought the mock turtleneck when in NY in Oct, and when back in early Dec I bought 4 more but the half zipper. They are nice enough to wear out to dinner and comfy enough to wear to bed. Seem to hold up also.

If the tasmanian wool trousers had a 7" leg opening instead of 8" they would be perfect.

This is the one I have that you PM'd me about. I'll take some pics when I can, but basically everything fits really well except I find the biceps to be a bit large. As a liner it is wonderful.

Looking at the suit jacket - http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/made-for-all/men-wool-blended-jacket/070687-09
I'd prefer the slim cut jacket and pants but they aren't available. Can I get the jacket tailored enough to be a slim cut, or will it be too much to ask of a tailor since it's meant to be a regular cut?

They don't appear to have black suit pants even carried on the site...the only options in the wool pant are Grey and Navy, wtf? However, there is a black Tasmanian wool pant - http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/made...n-wool-blended-flat-front-pants/071149-06-029
Could I pair this with the jacket or would it look stupid? Would it be better to just get the jacket and match it up with some black suit pants locally? (Planning to get both tailored). This isn't a long-term investment type suit, obviously, just a one-use only type deal. I figure at least with tailoring maybe I can achieve a slimmer look than renting something. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.


Anyone? Also, any info on how the jacket runs?

^ I wouldn't rec the wool blended jacket. I think I tried it on in store and it's not great. I think the tasmanian jackets are better overall in fit and quality.

I wouldn't mix and match the jacket and pants b/c the material is completely different.
