The Uniqlo Thread

[fatsu]

I bought the max 5 items... all t-shirts . Was interested in the cotton polo but there wasn't a navy color.

Does anyone know how much Uniqlo's supima cotton will shrink in the wash?

First impressions - while the style of U (in theory) is more my thing this feels a lot more cohesive as a collection imo. There are a few oddities sure, but generally it makes sense in a way U hasn't over the past few years. The blue-grey and navy colours are really nice too - reminds me how scarce blues have been in so much Uniqlo stuff lately.

Still not sure there's anything that jumps out at me though. Maybe the half-zip and sweat. Thought i quite liked the bomber, but not sure i'm a fan of all those zips and pockets. Also quite like the look of the mountain parka and lightweight half length coat. Only thing i'm iffy about is that the styling for the latter might be hiding what could be an anorak you'd get at Millets. It looks cool here though;

The loose fit shirt jacket from the women's collection looks an interesting shape and might be workable. Wish there was more stuff in this vein;

Some of it certainly looks better on the models in comparison to those earlier product shots. And some of the cuts looks interesting. But still... three blazers? Really? It's been said before but i'm not convinced there's a massive market for that kind of casual business wear, especially in somewhere like the UK (might be wrong tho?). I'm just praying for a full blown 'weird-casual' collection from them one day. Maybe they could do it through a proper Engineered Garments collab or whatever.

Anybody try the elastic waist / easy pants from +J? Model photo suggests they are wearing XL, but that seems wrong given measurements.

Tried these, they fit me like a regular straight fit pants TTS.

S, M, and L sizes mostly sold out at full prices. A small discount was available for the less common sizes.

I'd recommend buying now only if you really really really want it.

I feel that when Covid hit last year this time Uniqlo went all quiet for six months atleast. Very little new items came out. This spring has seen U, J+ and now again JWA.

Uniqlo isn’t the hottest of all, and mostly I see one or two buyable things in a collection but nevertheless this is simply fun. The collections differ from each other and for a dude who has to be careful not to spend too much on clothes (save the money for the two teenagers in the household) this works.

JWA collections have been the least ...interesting so far but even here it seems to got a bit some new energy. The embroidery idea could be expanded further - it reminds me of early 2000s Gaultier or such if my memory serves well.

Nice touch in this hopefull spring of pandemic.

For me atleast, spending money on these collections during pandemic has been elevating and inspiring.

I feel the same way, actually, but also good that there isn't much pressure to buy a lot and only what we truly want or need. U has been stable in terms of its look, same with +J, so JWA gives a little pop somehow. Surprisingly got a bit excited with this new JWA season (even if I was usually not happy about it, haha). Seems like less items than previous seasons (no outerwear even) but I feel most are very useful in this time. I was able to see some in person through the Lifewear exhibit and the stitch details and flowers have quite the charm.

I thought based on a quick review of the lookbook ..I find JWA SS21 to be more wearably / accessible.

Socks..are fire.

Does anyone have feedback from trying on the +J oversized hooded half coat?

 

[Severisth]

BTW - if anyone wants one of the +J oversized short sleeve shirts in olive/small (BNWT) I have one that I'd be willing to sell for $35 CONUS

Good looking out. Wish it was a medium. Weird they never hit online in the US

It does fit quite oversized so it might work for you! Let me know if you want measurements
