The (Un)official Yoox, GILT, MyHabit, etc. Thread - the Unbeknownst

For recent purchases and buyer reviews that will help readers who are curious and looking for more information. **The intention was to post buys from unknown labels say from Yoox and give them a bit more spotlight if you find it deserving of so. Since then this thread has sort of branched out**

If there are a lot of photos please use spoiler tag at your discretion.

My hope is that this will become a consistent source for members who are still experimenting with different designers and styles, read the reviews, and be inspired to take the plunge in trying something new that may fit into the wardrobe.

A short guideline:

I like that idea but there may be a conflict of interest I think when it comes to disclosing item names. People can always take it to PM, which I think is the best place to help others finds things without putting it on the radar. So this is sort of exposing items but at the same time, be more about picking up the next thing on the list.

Not sure if this was intended to be enabler of purchasing power, but rather a consultant to the item or person in question. We have "Shah" already

That said, we'll test it out : )

Thanks Cyc wid it
Those look sort of cool for beaters in the office. I am actually looking for a pair. Perhaps briefly explain what is wrong with them? Cheap leather I assume.

Following up with my first post, I decided to only keep the Nike sweats. The rest are being returned.

I will say that all the other bottoms are very nice for the price (under $100 excluding shipping). Small details that you only notice in person, and are all very neat at that. For example, the April77 denim came with a guitar pick and matching compartment pocket located at the top of the coin pocket (right side). VERY COOL. Imagine yourself at a bar or house party and you see a guitar lying around. You have your handy pick and start jamming. The ladies will love you.

The two other trousers are My Pant's on Yoox. Keep an eye out.

Brand - Uniqlo
Item name - Short Blouson
Size - XS (Go TTS is my suggestion so I would need a size small)
Price - $29.95 - 69.95
Item composition - Polyester

Prelimiary photos as I am returning for TTS. Photoed is an XS and though no movement is restricted upon wear aside from a little when zipped up, I much prefer a bit more volume. Size down for a fitted look IMO. Overall great jacket, durable as the tag implies, solid ribbing in terms of elasticity and will stretch overtime or with constant wear. The zipper and buttons on the jacket is designed with a hidden placket and is water repellent, tag states "DURABLE WATER REPELLENT". Very cool casual jacket that I bought for the only purpose of wearing to the office, but on the weekends, can still throw on when out in the city with some trousers and boots or sneakers.

From the offerings at the launch of the Undercover x Uniqlo collaboration, this beats all of UU Spring/Summer collection in my opinion.

Tag states it as "Nike Sportswear" so yeah NSW
The sweat pant material is also relatively thick and heavy but soft at the same time. If you and anyone has handled W+H then it is similar.

Edit:
I did see these exact sweats at my local Nike Factory but for > ~$50. Of course no small sizes

I want to keep it short and sweet so:

• I would buy again
• Nice comfy material, feels like jeggings or similar to the heattech leggings but heavier
• Decent cut with a solid taper that is not too aggressive.

Great supple leather, very soft inner lining. Tough outsole and leather exterior. I love the leather detail with the rolling effect.
Feels good on feet. Zipper pull is good. Wearing the same boots paired with the Uniqlo T001. Overall they are a great boot, and if you can find them on discount they are a very good value (re: Shah, thank you!)

A lot of other stuffs I want to review and give my takes on but been so busy/tired =\

Uniqlo floral print tee is awesome...print is beautiful but the neck is a definite crewneck so no drape. Size TTS
Uniqlo Short blouson, excellent Spring/Fall piece! Size TTS. Returned the original one in previous post ^

Uniqlo linen cardigan, excellent stuff...I want a black or grey one now, size TTS

Edit: The Uniqlo linen cardigan has gotten so much wear since I bought it. Excellent weight, bit on the heavy side as it is cotton-linen blend, but great nevertheless. Navy is quite beautiful color that when worn with a white OCBD you can see the transparency take place due to the linen context and the effect is quite nice. I still want a black one.

They were more of a pop up sale. Keep an eye out and they may be back again.

Barney's supposedly has them go on sale too so keep an eye out.
