The Uniqlo Thread

[Desi]

They have been doing the two month drop dates for a while. The "Special Site" has some of the months pieces should hit the floor. I never use it as a end all guide though since some times pieces will release in the wrong month.

Won't know the US item dates until the NA site goes up or when they hand out pamphlets on launch day.

 

[NaTionS]

For the past +J releases, have they typically replenished stock throughout the following weeks/months or has it just been one huge shipment and once it's gone it's gone?

 

[petahcheung]

Anyone have any idea of what the price of this parka is going to be?

 

[Goombi]

^ 19,900 yen from the Uniqlo +J website: http://store.uniqlo.com/jp/store/feature/plusJ/men/

Just a quick question, but are the sleeves shorter in general for the JP Uniqlo in comparison to the UK and US ones?

Looking at size charts, and it seems to be ~1-1.5" shorter for outerwear.

Just answering my own question for those interested.

Did a comparison, and for shirts, sweaters, outerwear, etc. The Uniqlo in Japan is a size up and has sleeve lengths of 3cm shorter on avg. compared to the uk/american shops. All the other measurements are the same.

Just a thing to keep in mind when thinking of which country to proxy from. Uniqlo in Japan will work great for shorter dudes or those with dinosaur arms.

anyone looking for the uniqlo selvage can hit me up. local qlo is having a sale on them!

EDIT: I was informed that these are the ones with the coin pocket selvage AKA the version that retails for 39.9.

Has anyone purchased the Tasmanian Wool Suit, if so how is the quality, and fit?

yeah

On other news the US Special Site has launched http://www.uniqlo.com/plusj/fw2011/us/ Giving a more accurate listing of the pricing for outerwear and suiting.

The press release from a few weeks ago gives you an idea of shirt, sweater, and pants pricing http://www.uniqlo.com/us/news/2011/08/final_plusj_launch.html

Better than last year. Similar to a couple years back (I still use those). I'd love to get the grey houndstooth one but I think I'll wait for +J instead.

 

[Tico]

And what was the fit of the suit a couple years back?

I will probably get Tasmanian Suit in Dark Grey.

+1, anyone?

I think they do stock replenishing... but not sure.

 

[Desi]

Yes, they replenish stock pretty much daily for the first week and a half or so. Then new stock only trickles in and with every new drop ex. end of September and October drops. This does not mean that everything will get replenished. The three-piece tragedy of last fall should never be forgotten.

 

[airblaster503]

Won't be able to cop anything for a week or 2 after release, hopefully they restock or ship the wool down coat mid to late September.

 

[swisschalet]



I will probably get Tasmanian Suit in Dark Grey.

Has anybody seen them in person yet? Wondering if the gray version is a light gray or mid gray.

 

[gettoasty]

Light gray and I like mine. Still have to get it tailored in my experience, but I am satisfied. Sucks that I have to proxy, but oh well

If I get the opportunity I would get the navy or houndstooth grey
