So is the j+ oversized hybrid down the same as the regular one but just with some different pockets? The fill seems the same.

Has anyone tried the U padded quilted coat? Or have any other photos of it being worn?

It's now well discounted and was thinking it might be a decent top layer over some ultra light down or whatever. Fabric and construction looks really nice, especially the nylon shimmer in the olive. Also quite attracted to parts of the silhouette like the snap'able sleeves to change their volume etc. But it also looks quite awkward on the model and i've no idea how i'd wear it (i'm over the military vibe thing). Someone on the US site reviewing it called it 'confusing', which is my fear (someone else said the snaps jingle when open...)
I actually liked the coat but it actually fits big, I’m normally a 50 and I felt comfortable in a small. But I feel like it’s better suited under a coat like a mid layer or something. It could probably be a early spring coat. But construction was good.

I remember it being a weird fit, cropped but kinda slim and sleeves were somewhat long.

Hey guys! New here—literally joined specifically to make this request:

Has anyone tried on or purchased this U wool-fleece jacket?


I like the way it looks but the user reviews aren't too favorable so if anyone has feedback about it especially regarding fit, I'd appreciate the insight. :)
I tried it on several times and it's kinda growing on me. Lemaire always does these cropped blouson/jackets and can take a while to get used to - works with pants with a higher rise. This jacket I feel is something you'll need at least a long sleeve tee since it has no lining which can be bothersome for most. On the Japanese website, a lot like it, but it can depend on the one wearing because you can either look cool or look like an old man - styling can make it or break it. It's a good deal on sale so do try it. :)

Long time reader here. Has anyone heard of any upcoming new collaboration Uniqlo collections (outside of the U line). Was a little underwhelmed by the +J stuff but loved all the EG releases last year. I'm always checking this thread for updates on that end.

Based on the Uniqlo SS21 Press Preview in Japan, it's the same collabs coming out next year (U, JWA, IDLF, Hana Tajima). But who knows, sometimes they just announce new collaborators along the way - +J return was unexpected, same as the EG (I do hope EG comes back with more variety).
