Is the +J almost gone by now? I'm going to London in mid-november, probably gonna stop by some Uniqlos. Bad timing for stock in general?

toasty where are you looking at? Click on the size chart for the cardigan on the uniqlo UK site. They give garment measurements. Nowhere do I see 16.5" shoulder measurements.

one of the +J merino wool v neck cardigan has a 16.5" shoulder for size M.

Seems like the cardigans in general i would have to size up but then the sleeves would be too large.

I am sure they will have some stretch thinking about it since it is wool blend. Hard to decide whether S/M. Probably only pick this cardigan up: http://shop.uniqlo.com/uk/goods/070083#colorSelect but still deciding on size.

Leaning toward S due to the sleeve length, but "M" may fit better in chest.

So, will anyone be able to locate the tasmanian wool trousers for me to proxy before the new opening on friday? If at all possible would like to have in hand by this Saturday.
Ordering 2 pairs in the dark gray and navy, TIA

what size are you looking for? afaik, the store in soho won't be getting any new stock until after the friday opening of the new store.

If the shoulder of the jacket fits you I would just get a Small and tailor it accordingly.

Pants should be fine, especially after alterations.

would have to check the measurements, but assuming it's sized tts, I highly doubt the shoulders will fit me :/

Are the colors accurate on the +J shawl collar cardigan?
http://shop.uniqlo.com/uk/goods/070089#colorSelect
I've looked on a couple computers and the brown looks grey and the olive looks brownish. Do they still have it in the NYC store in medium in black or brown?
Do they still have the mountain parka in olive?

Thanks.


At Soho, there are only red mountain parkas. I'm sure the olives will be in stock in the new stores though.

Did they make the +J Tapered Flannel pants in Navy? I am looking on the UK site but they only have the Navy ones in straight leg. Also does anyone know if they have the block tech jackets in yet? Might need to proxy for the new store opening Friday for some +J so if anyone is going let me know.

hey I'd be willing to. I know I'm new on this forum but if you need references/feedback info let me know. I have plenty on ebay and an audio forum I frequent. I'm going down to the new opening this Friday so I'd be able to check/pick up anything for you if you want.
