The Uniqlo Thread

[Baron]

I have the ultra stretch long sleeve, I use it for hiking or working out. The neck isn't particularly relaxed.

 

[cafedandy]

Has anybody tried the UU supima crew LONG SLEEVE or the UU ultra stretch LONG SLEEVE?

Are the neck openings on either of them larger/more relaxed than usual?

Tried the U Supima Crew Long Sleeve, a bit relaxed neck same as the SS18 Supima Short Sleeve.

Some quick impressions after opening a big box today:

The suit is cool. I feel like I have too many suits as it is. Otherwise, would keep after a trip to the alteration tailor. Fabric feels fine. I like the patch pockets and ventless back of the jacket. Fits TTS, I take a 48 top and the medium fits well for OTR. Did not try on the pants after deciding not to keep. If my wardrobe was smaller (or larger, depending on your POV) I'd probably keep it.

Cardigan has interesting weave, soft touch, feels like a towel sort of. It is spongy. I really like the yellow color but honestly would prefer it as a sweater. Only keeping the brown one since I find the color versatile for wearing in the office. I had a hard time deciding between small or medium and ultimately decided to go with the latter. It fits wide in the body FWIW. Initial impression is the fabric may not wear well long term due to the weave. The fabric is 100% wool though, which was a pleasant surprise.

I was not sure about keeping the jersey L/S shirt at first but decided to stick with it, seems versatile enough for layering and the fabric feels good, 100% cotton. A bit thin and is a bit transparent. I can double down and use it as sleepwear. Fits TTS, I took a medium. Primary reason I am keeping is because laundering will be easy, I do not plan on ironing like most other shirts I own. Should help when in a pinch. The collar does leave much to be desired, hoping a wash will settle it down. This is more of personal gripe, there's no collar roll here nor does it splay open like a camp collar. Collar looks fine buttoned all the way up.

I initially wanted to see if I can put together several outfits to carry me through this fall and winter season. Hence, I picked up a bunch of stuff to try on. The idea was novel and then the novelty wore off after looking at my existing wardrobe. Will be looking forward to the sweater releases. Again, I'd probably keep most things if my wardrobe was smaller. In the end, there are some items that serve as good fillers. IMO this collection would be great for someone just starting their sartorial journey or just likes fast fashion.

Tried on some women's items out of curiosity and these seem to work as unisex pieces:

Women U Double Face Wrap Coat

Ines Peacoat

Ines Denim Coverall

Women U Work Jacket (This one I got, works like a blouson)

And yes, the U Crew Neck Long Sleeve Sweat (because of the nice dropped shoulders)

 

[MickeyPunch]

Today UU came out in my country (I guess all across Europe) and I was very disappointed to see that this sweater is like 75% synthetic. I still ordered it since I like how it looks, has anyone handled it?



I’m considering getting this one instead because it’s 100% wool, but I don’t like the colour as much.

 

[gettoasty]

I was looking forward to that first sweater, unfortunate hearing about the material.

 

[MickeyPunch]

Yeah it’s a poly/nylon/wool/mohair blend or something like that, with poly/nylon being 73% or so.

Last year I got a couple of sweaters that I wore a lot, but they were at least 80% wool.

I instakopped the merino wool turtleneck because I've been looking for an inexpensive turtleneck forever and it finally came in. Fit is nice and slouchy after sizing up. Material is nice. Will fit my #menswear needs, especially for the price.

@Darkside - you didn’t find the turtle neck to be super thin and underwhelming? I also got it and it’s like tshirt thin merino, still alright as a layer, but not what I thought I was buying.

I picked up the marled mock neck LS which is a cotton knit and wears more like a sweater, than a tshirt. I got the double layered turtle too. It’s decent, has a really high neck but I like the cut and the knit cuffs are a nice touch too.

All up, the peices I got are OK for the money, but nothing is a standout IMO.

The uniqlo u wide tapered colored jeans are WAY softer than the normal denim material. They are super comfy, but I would recommend sizing up one. Sadly, the only sizes they have left are 29,39,31,35.

I just picked up some jeans today. They were last year's model, got it for $12.90 Canadian.

Went with a straight fit. Great value, a little stiff but should loosen up nicely

Anyone works out in the Soft touch crew neck long sleeve T shirt? What are your thoughts on it?

 

[Snoopy]

Anyone works out in the Soft touch crew neck long sleeve T shirt? What are your thoughts on it?

I used to own a few back in the day and they are super warm. I would be sweating at times.

I just picked up 3 soft touch turtle necks so they will be great barriers to combat the winter this year.

 

[cafedandy]

Anyone works out in the Soft touch crew neck long sleeve T shirt? What are your thoughts on it?

I have a couple of them from past seasons and they're pretty warm and always find myself enjoying the softness. The mock necks this year have nice colors, but I wish there was more selection for the crew necks.

Uniqlo vintage chino pants pretty nice...need to try a size down to double check sizing.

Curious if you ended up sizing down and where the fit issues might stray from tts waist and straight/classic leg?
