Uniqlo to start making masks

Uniqlo Rolls Out Reusable Mask Line as Retailers Adapt to Virus

Asia’s largest retailer is betting that it has the right product at the right time: a Uniqlo face mask.

I could use a mask that doesn't make me feel sweaty while I wear it.

That airsim mask will fly.

They sure did. I didn't stand a chance.

The non-pocketed ones on the right are interesting with that exaggerated drop sleeve.
Which art# is that?

Yes, they're quite good, been using them for quite a while now and I'm glad they're expanding the color palette. By art#, you mean the product code? If so it's 425974.

Yep the drop shoulder ones are awesome, but they're already starting to be a bit much for the heat when it creeps towards 30C. Definitely gonna pick up more colours though if they drop in EU.

The airism wide tees from U are still one of the MUST kops (for whatever is left of Summer in your region), as already labels are focusing on release calendar for AW20.

Just to get this thread bumped..did anyone get anything from the JWA release this season? What was your top 3 items (if any)

Wanna hear some inputs. esp from @cafedandy
No socks please

Agree with the U Airism tees! Looking forward for the new colors coming for the next season. Another must kop for me would be the U Cotton Linen Wide Fit Pants. I just got all the colors and have been using them often - I like how they still look great even after a day's wear because they don't have much wrinkles like your regular linen pants.

As for JW Anderson, I am actually surprised by myself with the items I got after initially getting underwhelmed from my initial review post. I may have made an unfair judgment since I these are items I didn't try during that time.

My top three would be:

The Washed Cotton Work Jacket (in yellow, which I got with the matching cargo shorts. It's pretty light and if you look inside, you'll see the original unwashed camel color, would be interesting if they released an unwashed version, although this wash gives it some character).



The Oxford Shirt (initially looks like any oxford shirt but I kind of like the asymmetrical detail stitch, and the oxford fabric feels better than the first JWA version with the plaid lining), and;



The Extra Fine Broad Cloth Long Sleeve Shirt because of the wide fit and square hem, (the simple gauntlet detail is also nice and one of the nicer made shirts, this one was really popular in Japan and hyped by a lot of Japanese bloggers since they have this super oversized shirt trend). I recommend taking all TTS for these even if they might feel loose.




I also got to try the Jersey shirt, it's actually good, but didn't have the color in the size I want so I let it go. Then I also got the Active pants because of the details and the patterned Sweatshirt (that Jonathan also wore on his Soho store launch interview, it's a bit thinner than the U or mainline sweats) on deep discount.




There's quite a lot of good items this season, even if at first they look so ordinary.

@cafedandy The Extra Fine Broad Cloth Long Sleeve Shirt, how does it flow at the bottom? Does it stay down or balloon up? I have some shirts that i purposely buy oversized but the hem just kinda balloon at the bottom which i don't like.

I've been eyeing this and on sale too here in US site.

In my experience, it stays down. I also buy a size up on some shirts sometimes (since my hips are wide), and I also usually leave the last button open for movement - but for this one, you can keep it closed since it's relaxed and you can go TTS.

 

[true.to.size]

Relevant to the JWA discussion, very happy with this linen-modal shirt for summery fits (and got it at a deep discount, too, which doesn't hurt)

This is a size small (my usual size). I don't think I would size down unless you have short arms or plan to only wear the sleeves rolled.

Also forgot to mention the JWA Regular Fit Jeans, too, they're also nice this season with the the triple stitch detailing, alternative stitching colors, and D-tube key ring. In my opinion, the denim is nicer than his past denim versions (I would've like the Baker pants they released then, only if it wasn't too thin). (Although in terms of denim fabric quality, I still feel that the mainline Uniqlo pairs have better overall feel which I hope the U, JWA and other collab lines would also use, like the one in the Classic Fit selvedge and Regular Fit Tapered Denim).
