I was pretty surprised that I was actually able to find a gray flannel double breasted jacket in XS today.
Some thoughts:
-very little shirt shows
-it has a single vent (this could be a deal killer - would've definitely preferred double)
-fit was good (I wear XS in the regular line's slim fit jackets)
I'm still deciding if I'm going to keep it.



Don't know about the trousers - small sizes usually run out the quickest. You'll be fine with the shirt though - plenty of shirts are still in stock.


Are the measurements for your double breasted blazer the same as on the website?

Would you say the measurements on your double breasted blazer are the same as on the Uniqlo website?

Jeez, tried quoting about 3 times but it won't let me for some reason. Anonymouz, would you say that the DB jacket measurements on the Uniqlo website are accurate to yours?

I need some flannel trousers in my life, but the tapered ones look so incredibly slim, and I haven't seen any pics of the regular ones.... I just need some everyday pants that won't look too weird on a 20 year old, advice? Size up tapered, or buy regular and tailor them?

Are they even nice in the first place?

^ Briefly tried one on at the store, but all the down stuff felt rather cheap and flimsy imo so I passed.

Really?

The wool down parka feels like a quality down parka - not sure if you actually felt it. Considering its 90% down and 10% feather thats not bad considering some retailers charge the same for rubbish polyester-filled jackets and gilets.

IMO the down is of superior quality to the offerings in previous seasons, and I've worked at Uniqlo since +J launched.

This guy probably tried on the wrong stuff.

The regular line down jackets/parkas are flimsy and thin. The +J down parkas (which I've tried on) are nice and warm.

How are the sizing on the +J down parkas from this season? I'm thinking I'm a small at 5'10 135 but I heard some people buying XS outerwear even though they were bigger than me cause the sizing was whack.

Is the button stance on the +j blazers higher or lower than that on the tasmanian jacket?

Thank you for the info. I also checked out the UK site n those wool down parka are pretty much sold out in S,M,L. So I figure they must be some good quaility otherwise ppl won't jump on them. Or they just haven't restock that specific +J wool down parka yet. Btw, how's the sale on those wool down parka compare the past seasons down parka?
