The Uniqlo Thread

[feliks]

ordered two linens sized down (measurements make it seem like they're bigger than last year), so we'll see how those are. dissapointed the navy one isn't as dark as previous year's.

Anyone know when the next UK sale might be? Kind of want to buy these linen/cotton blazers but it's not even season to wear them yet.

Did a hot wash with minimal agitation (with a hot presoak as part of the wash cycle) on my selvage denim. still no perceivable shrinkage. Waist did tighten back up to what it was like when boxfresh, but is stretching back out quickly. "unsanforized" but not shrinking? Whatever, it works for me.

Do the linen shirts shrink a lot in the wash?

I can't speak to the Uniqlo ones, but my Brooks Brothers linen shirts shrunk more than my cotton ones.

Weird. US site makes no mention of unsanforized denim in the product description of the same item number: http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/men-slim-fit-straight-jeans-selvedge/124313-69

Is it assumed that most selvedge denim is sanforized? I thought unless specified they were unsanforized.

Tons of cool colors, but do the collars look to wide or spread out to you guys? I'm so picky about shirt collars.

I prefer the wider collars than the trendy skinny ones, but that is just my preference. On a casual shirt like that though I would also prefer a button down collar.

I would assume the opposite, that most selvedge denim is unsanforized. Cheap selvedge denim tends sanforized and I'm surprised by the unsanforized denim at $50

Are the Airism tees stretchy or should I size up? The p2p looks really small

 

[ghdvfddzgzdzg]

indeed, it's weird that this would be (undisclosed) $50 unsanforized denim. However, since it barely shrinks in my experience, i guess they don't have to mention it--in terms of fit and shrinkage, it doesn't matter that it's unsanforized. as for what's more common, i'm not sure it's safe to say that "most" selvage denim is unsanforized, being as selvage denim appears at many pricepoints now. personally, I assume "sanforized unless mentioned otherwise."

stretch but i'd size up one if you're not wearing it as an undershirt

Has anyone tried to shrink the sweatpants and how did it go?

Is the linen shirt slim fit? Does it have the middle pleat in the back? Kinda doesn't look like there is a pleat in the online picture

My merino sweaters have not piled.  Also the oxfords are thinner because spring, duh.

last season's spring oxfords are thicker

Ran over to the store just now to pick up the Linen/Cotton Slim Fit Sports Coat.

Arms are a little long on me as I had to get a medium, but think they have non-functional button sleeves, so should be able to tailor. Small was too tight on me. Should be a good spring/summer sportscoat.

Not totally sure I will keep, but will be traveling to a warm climate and thought this would be good for that.
