Uniqlo x Lemaire FW2015 thread

[baklanyc]



it's funny how some dislike the low breast pockets when this is Lemaire's signature design

I know, it's one of my fave things about my regular Lemaire items, esp. since it's sometimes the one thing that makes a shirt Lemaire versus anything else. It's the main thing that made these UxL items look Lemaire online.

The cardigan has this weird hole

LOL.. that's a thumb-hole, the sleeve doubles as hand warmers. this is easily the coolest feature of the cardigan, one i was not expecting. i picked up a couple things, the cardigan i believe is the nicest and best value item. the outerwear indeed fits huge. not a fan of the wool blend coats or thin merino items. overall hit & miss as far as quality/fit but overall solid collab. would really advise trying in store if possible though..

You're the first person to post pics that look fit like Lemaire should. Which pants are you referring to, the pleated ones?

I wasn't pleased with the +J quality either but will see if these are passable otherwise they get returned.

when i checked the label they turned out to be the regular flat front pants (TTS). quite a high rise, relaxed thigh and then taper. pretty much the only thing worth having IMO.

+J had a lot nicer fabrics than this collab. The regular Uni-qlo stuff has some good pieces. I dunno what happened, but the melton wool on almost every piece just feels like felt from Jo-Ann fabrics

Wife's stuff. Also ordered a dress online, didn't have the right color in store

Bad lighting making the shirt look orange - it's vibrant red

Uniqlo melton wool has never been good. I bought a peacoat from them several years back when that was all the rage, first day caught in very light rain(so light you didn't need an umbrella) and it already looked ruined.

Has anyone seen the women's cape for sale? It's nowhere to be found in Australia

Posted in the main Uniqlo thread...picked up the sweat pants, long sleeve tshirt and lambswool sweater all in dark green. Think I'm happy with my choices.

NN is right, relaxed trousers are pretty nice, coat drapes quite well but quality is meh

can i ask about your height and weight, and what size you got in the coat?

Quality is garbage, worse than regular Uniqlo. None of the men's stuff felt worth a pass

Ran into a cool guy from StyleZeitgeist and my wife bought some pants and a rayon shirt

Too bad. Guess I'll probably be returning. Hoping at least the knit blazer is passable.

Knit jacket was easily one of the better pieces, actually

here's my review.

on first pass quality feels total garb. started trying stuff on and found some goodies tho.

knits in general are the best things. kopped all three colors of mockneck.

tunic shirt is very good. got white and olive.

couldn't find convertible collar/loop collar shirt which bummed me out.

both blazer were really nicely patterned; I went with the shawl in the green/brown wool. may go back for the black. It's a loose wool twill that doens't feel particularly nice but will do the trick.

grabbed pants to match the blazer. haven't tried on yet. seemed slimmer than i'd want though.

the tech shirt jacket was kinda sweet, but not that far off from regular uniqlo. felt warm as **** though which was cool. knit blazer also felt pretty nice, didn't try on though.

would like to go back to try play with sweatshirt stuff and find the convertible collar shirt. also didn't see the longsleeve tees.

some v nice women's knits. women also got the better/more directional pants.

overall quality is quite a few notches below +J and is more or less regular Uniqlo in most cases. was really disappointed with the cotton outerwear (mostly women's), felt like paper in a terrible way. but the designs are solid to great so basically worth it if you know what you're getting into.

All I got was the dark green flat front trousers. In my sleepy state I thought they were the elastic waist pants. Although the measurements say the 34's have a 13"+ thigh so maybe they will work out.

How is NYC store stock? Thinking of running by Soho at lunch.
