Linen-cotton blazers are really good. I find the cut very slim, I'd say XS is more like 34 or slim 36. But yeah, fit like slim oxfords. Wish they had more colors.
Really? I found the linen blazer from past seasons very large fitting

Can't speak to the pilling of the cotton/cashmere (just got mine) but i can't help but comment on how thin this thing is. thinner than a t shirt.

The crewneck cotton-cashmere I got is at least as thick as a T-shirt and the EF merino.

Anybody own the dry comfort blazer?
How does it look irl, I find uniqlo stuff to look really cheap which I wouldnt mind for some stuff but not a blazer. I can not find a Barena in black so this might be my only option.


I wouldnt consider the dry easy jacket to be any sort of lower cost replacement for barena


Dry easy, wool blended, and even the 100% cotton textured blazer all look cheap to me. But, again, linen-cotton is good. You're in luck, they have it in black.

So did I, hence my satisfaction with this season's linen-cotton, which is advertised as slim fit.

I bought the linen/cotton blazer in navy today. Nice and casual, with some surprisingly nice detailing like pick stitching on the lapel. Nice with a shirt or a tee.

And, at 6'2", it is actually long enough for me, which is more than I can say about most uniqlo blazers.

Hmm, I'll have to reconsider the linen blazers then. We're the same height. I've never even looked at them closely because I figured they'd be way too short.

Edit: Based on the measurements I'd have to get an XXXL to get a semi-long length (31"). If I fit to chest size (medium), I'd get a 28" length. Guess I'm not seeing it or the measurements are off.

I like their linen blazers a lot as a very light, casual summer piece .

But quality control is all over the place. Today I tried on some mediums in multiple colors. Some fit perfectly, others I could barely button.

One thing that is consistent is the long sleeve length. Probably the only tailoring I would have to do on mine - the one that I could button.

I'm really interested in buying some uniqlo cargo pants from seeing them in fits (i believe they were the perfect shape ones with straight pockets?).... but it seems like they don't make the same ones anymore?

i can only seem to find these:
http://www.uniqlo.com/us/men/bottom...sweat-easy-cargo-cropped-pants-110106.html#58

Also for uniqlo jeans... stretch vs skinny fit vs slim fit?


my black perfect shape cargos from 3-4 years ago are probly my favorite pants. so sad i didnt pick up a pair in olive.
