I'm sitting here in my navy chesterfield as I write this, but I like it a lot, especially for the price. The material is 90% wool, 10% cashmere, and has a nice feel to it. One interior pocket, no exterior chest pocket, and a little coin pocket inside the outside right waist pocket.

The coat's a bit short though. It hits mid-thigh for me (5"11, XS) and is about 4.5" longer than my XS Uniqlo blazer. I guess that puts it shorter than a 3/4 length coat, but longer than a peacoat.

Straight silhouette, no taper, a little slim but not skinny. I can wear it over my Uniqlo blazer just fine.

All in all, a great coat for the $149.50 price.

S M L XL
Length 73.5 75.5 77 79.5
Shoulder 42 43.5 45 47

Sleeve Length 60.5 62 64 65.5

From *** Uniqlo site so S would be an XS, S an M etc etc i think.

Too bad jil didn't even design her own line when she was in biz.

I ended up going pretty late, first time I ever saw barren walls in the 4 floor Uniqlo in Myeongdong. So obviously I didn't get the chesterfield coat I wanted. Also too bad I'm not kunk because there was an XL of a lot of stuff left, including the mac.

Then I found someone's stash hidden with the KM stuff, so I got a couple things at least, along with some awesome KM stuff. Fishtail parka looks nice but I'm not sure if I really want to spend any more money when it doesn't even get below 0 much in Korea.

dude, never underestimate the temperature here, unless you're an eskimo and consider speedos your casual outfit, I tell girl to wait te extra step so I can take off my uniqlo half tights between the months of november til march.

 

[aeglus]

oh yeah, I forgot but someone here said Korea doesn't get the accessories. That's not true, I have an awesome cashmere beanie now. Belts seem to suck though, leather quality felt worse than normal Uniqlo belts which isn't really that great.

I'm from Minnesota where cold is -60*F windchill so I think I'm half eskimo. I have a stupid puffy down jacket that I got on sale from Uniqlo last year though in case things get really bad though but I'm pretty tempted to replace it with that parka.

ps I'd tell you to check pms but from hearing from guys on other forums that they can't get a hold of you, I'm guessing you're busy as **** with current orders on your jackets.

I had a look at the line at the Oxford Street flagship yesterday. The quality seemed decent throughout and the cuts are good. The only items I wanted to try on were the denim shirts, which fitted fine and felt good but weren't a strong enough colour for me

The shop wasn't insanely busy post lunchtime, although the staff selt the need to place velvet ropes outside the doors and only allow entry through one of them

Anyone know if they restocked lastnight/today?

 

[ville_e]

How long will this collection be available at stores?

 

[Hummingbird]

It will probably be in store for at least a few weeks. Once again, it is not intended as a limited collaboration.

 

[brad-t]

[NofashionjustSTYLE]

This is good news. I miss the fragrance she put out... I love Uniqlo!

Here's a J+ proxy thread, it has most of the pictures up of the collection I believe:

For those of you who bought stuff outside of the US, namely those in the UK or Asia how is the sizing? Are the asian region pieces a size smaller than their US/UK counterpart like regular Uniqlo or everything is consistent worldwide?
