The Uniqlo Thread

[hobojones]

So I was randomly refreshing coats on the UNIQLO site and I was able to snag a +J wool coat the other day for $60. **** retailed for $220 and I probably would have paid that too. Any way, I got it in today and it is by far my best purchase of this year. Substantial wool outer with a comfortable lining, removable hood, hidden button pocket flaps, plus a ton of other nice details. Really gonna hang onto my +J pieces as they were seriously a great bang for the buck. I may have to tailor the sleeves though as they are a touch long.

I ordered a pink Oxford

I wish I got in on these "Soft Touch" l/s t's earlier in the game.

I bought one with my last order to get my order over $100 for free shipping and it's my favorite piece of the bunch. I really hope they bring them back next fall.

Uniqlo releases pretty much the same staples every season. Those l/s tees will be back late summer. And s/s tees will hit stores soon if they're not there already.

Awesome, which coat is this? Any pics?

I just popped over the 5th Ave. store and saw some l/s crew neck tees. Any info on the ones you're talking about?

Very surprised there are so many sizes left in this at this price.

Anyone know where I could get a pair of the size 32 MIJ regular fit black denim? I saw them at one of the NYC stores but they only had size 31, and they seem to not exist online.

I bought a couple lambswool sweaters online and they were alright - small was a little big (don't mind too much in a sweater), fabric was a little itchy (to be expected with wool). Went into the store on 5th to try on some flannel shirts and get a couple pairs of chinos, felt a lambswool sweater in the store and it felt a hell of a lot softer than the one I got online. Is there any difference, or is the grass just greener?

Pretty happy with the flannel, though the sleeves are within a couple millimeters of being too short. Chinos are nice, too, very very cheap and they take care of the hem for free. Now I'm wondering how hard it would be to buy a bunch of the light gray ones and dye them myself.

Also saw a corduroy shirt just sitting alongside the flannels, but it was in Small and the X-Small shirts fit me much better. Asked an employee, they said they only had what was sitting around. Anyone have any idea if and when they bring those out again?

I noticed the lambswool and blended sweaters ran a little big. The flannels are decent for the price, no complaints there. With the generic S/M/L sizing sleeve length can be a problem. I just go up a size to get the longer sleeve then have the torso and shoulders taken in. I really hate sleeves that are too short.

 

[Pilcrow]

Yeah I was kinda surprised, I was expecting clothes cut for little Asian men. They probably changed their sizing for the US, though.

 

[PhiPsi32]

I don't think so. I went to the Uniqlo flagshio in Ginza, Tokyo. Sizing seemed to the same as what I found at the NYC flagship store.

They're the same size in Korea, too. Remember, their lambswool sweaters are regular fit and sized to layer over their shirts, while their EFMs are slim fit.

 

[PhiPsi32]

That makes sense then. The lambswool was still too loose in the arms for me.

New oxfords (with colored trim at shirt) fit wayyy better - more spacious in shoulders/chest and not as marsupialedly long.  Arms still short though..at least for me in an S

More spacious in the shoulders and chest... compared to the old regular fit, or old slim fit?

 

[yesssir]

How do you guys usually size the MIJ slim fits?

What's the general consensus on the bomber jacket?
