The Uniqlo Thread

Okay this is real collaboration

I love all the pants, hopefully the rise is a bit more accommodating. And the zip-up knit looks great too

It'll be interesting to see how the quality is and if it's on-par with the original collections.

I'm still wearing the duffle coat from when it first released (not the re-release) and it's still holding up perfectly. That's like 10 years now?

Ok..coming in hot on the heels of November.
That means the rest of the U / JW pieces will start to go into deep discounts soon.

Higher price point so hoping for decent quality. I'm in for the relaxed pieces - I prefer an oversized cut, which is why I really wish UU had a higher price point/nicer materials - I guess this is as close as it's gonna get.

Work jacket could be good too.

Edit: Wool blend on the relaxed pieces

To those who owned +J pieces in the past, did they hold up well?

I have the duffle coat from FW 2010 - still holding up perfectly

I don't really need any more outerwear atm, but the work jacket in olive is tempting. Some of the shirting looks awesome as well -- definitely looking to pick up the oversized stand collar + regular collar shirts with the panels (that blue color for the latter!). Having some cool accessories is a nice change of pace for these collabs

Is Canada not getting some of the items??? https://www.uniqlo.com/plusj/20fw/ca/en/men/

Very weak if what is showing is all there is in Canada. I really hope those belts make it...

What items are missing?

A lot of that +J stuff for mens look like Arcteryx Veilance, i like.

disappointing, really

Only sweater I'm really interested in happens to be in the women's collection. Not terribly familiar but a women's XL should be roughly equivalent to men's M, right?

What items are missing?

Apparently the missing items are still being added.

As for the collection, there's maybe one or two pieces I could see buying, but even then, I feel like at these prices I could just go to COS, and get more or less the same thing.

It looks like the belts and wool stole are listed under the women's section.

With the higher pricing, hopefully, the quality would be higher than usual. For people who shops at Uniqlo, the $300+ CAD for a chester coat or $200 CAD for the other jackets might be higher than what we normally pay even for the U or JWA lines.

Some thoughts on the +J collection featuring Michael Gabellini, Grace Coddington and Kashiwa Sato (creative director of Uniqlo's global branding and also created the +J logo)

With all this hype, it better be good.

Same sentiments. I checked the sizing charts for some jackets and pants, it seems that the fit may be a bit relaxed, but still trim for Jil Sander's aesthetic. I'm hoping that this line can somehow affect and push the U line to use better materials in future seasons because so many details and designs are wasted on cheap materials - case in point - the annoying thick plastic buttons and high acrylic count that pills so bad, I do hope they change that already...
