The Uniqlo Thread - Page 140

shadow: refer to measurements on uniqlo uk

Is there a definitive answer on which US/UK is simply just one size down compared to Asian sizes, or there are actual tweaks in sleeves and length etc? I only have experiences with Asian sized Uniqlos and if the US version have the same cut, i'd be really tempted to get a proxy. 

I'm looking at the measurements on the UK site and it seems to me that their measurements are really inconsistent with their products. For example, I'm a XS in their oxfords but a M in their Merino V-necks. Is this normal or are their measurements just done poorly?

so are the heattech line really what its all cut out to be?

Stay with the XS.
The color labeled brown looks closer to gray
The color labeled olive looks closer to brown

I think some of their items are labelled incorrectly colour-wise. I picked up the brown looking one, and it's labelled as brown. On the other hand, I picked up the wine cardigan, but it's labelled as purple, which looks like neon pink online.

I only own some tees and they're definitely warmer than a regular cotton tee. I mean they're not magical or anything but I was wearing a heattech tee under a shirt with a light cotton jacket in 48-50 degree weather and was fine. Then again I like the cold so maybe I'm not the best person to ask.

Checked but was confused with the ~14 inches on the XS, so I assumed I should size up.

I looked on the site and it says that the XS is only~ 14 inches, when I'm usually a 16.25-16.75 in s-2-s. Will it stretch out enough??

Thanks!

are there still any of the green cashmere +J cardigans left in store in small/xsmall

What item are you looking at?

For knits I tend to assume some stretch with the shoulder measurement.

If the next size up is too much, stick with your original size and measurements.

yes, 34th street herald sq have plenty of xs/small left. Those +J cashmere cardigans are the best.

Thanks i'll find a proxy. You normally wear an xs and you got the s? What's your height and weight if you don't mind me asking.

I wear XS in pretty much all Uniqlo tops. My shoulder measurement is ~16". I would say the actual shoulder measurement of the knit is closer to 16"

Picked up the Reversible Down Jacket a couple weeks ago, wore it to NYC this thanksgiving and it kept me warm. The reversible side is water resistant as far as I can tell. Really nice details and an XS fits wonderfully for a 5'6" 130lb. asian male.

Last time, I also picked up a bunch of XS heattech vnecks and their super soft long sleeve vnecks. They both fit well and feel very nice. I can wear the heattech underneath the long sleeve with a jacket and stay pretty warm in Boston. Looks like that's going to be my uniform or whatever.

The hoodies also look, feel, and fit well (slim). But they are a bit expensive at $40. XS was a bit too small for me, so I went with S.

On Black Friday I copped a bunch of heattech thermals and socks, and more super soft long sleeve vnecks. 34th street was out of XS in black +J peacoats. XS seems hard to find in nice styles for +J. But I did pick up the +J Half Coat with removable vest and hood. It's pretty sweet in terms or material, details, and fit. I'm not sure how warm it will be, but I know it's warmer than the +J fishtail coat. I'll have a chance to test it out this week when it rains in Boston. Mm, and why do they make clothes out of materials that will deteriorate in 3 years? Is that typical for weatherproof jackets?

Also, 34th doesn't carry any Innovation Project, but I think that's because they're done with that line? Not sure. In fact a lot of employees I asked didn't know anything about it.

Anyway, just wish I could've been there longer for the merino sweater and oxford sale.

Damn, anyone help me put through a proxy order via sudden lee?

Im just after some +J stuff and Ive been pretty slack with responding to P.M's (sorry BlackToothedGrin)

Im happy to pay all fee's + 10%, which is pretty good IIRC.

Thanks!
