The Uniqlo Thread

Any suggestions for a Uniqlo blazer?

I don't care about material, just want something that is slim fit and will really only be used on an infrequent basis.

I usually wear a 38S and BB1 in Brooks Brothers Black Fleece. I am 5"4 and 160 pounds. Athletic/slim build.
I wear 15 - 32/33 in dress shirts.

So, I need help on both sizing and what model I should consider getting.

I'm looking at the following =

^ Why not just get the Uniqlo flannel suits?

Pants are $80, jacket is $170, I believe.

I have a couple good suits allready. Plus, I work in a casual IT setting, so I don't wear suits much. I just need a cheap blazer for dates, going out on the town, and so forth.

In time (two years), I hope to get a proper blazer or sportscoat, but that will be when I've moved on to a better job which requires me to dress up a little more.

anyone handlded Djokovic sports tennis shorts and shirt?

I've got the white shorts (played in them once); although they are not quite as slim as the press release had me believe, they are very comfy and a joy to wear. The pockets are a particular highlight, with their felt lining. Sizes were pretty bare in the 5th Ave flagship, not sure if they are planning on restocks soon or not. Though if Djok somehow manages to knock off Federer I wouldn't be surprised with a further promo push

Has anyone checked out their flannels yet? Do they have nice colors this year? I have not had time to visit their store.

Last year they had some nice flannels colors were very nice.

 

[RuffyD]

Yeah, they look pretty good.
Here's their flannel collection for this year (Hong Kong): http://www.uniqlo.com/hk/product/men/tops/flannel

Picked up these two shirts from the UU collection:

Can anyone comment on the quality of the flannel jacket / trousers?

If you don't mind the material. Go for the slim fit linen blazer. The fit is really great. I saw it on sale for 19.90 at my local store

How accurate are the chest measurements on the uniqlo website for the oxfords ? Do they include the box pleat stretched out/opened?

Thanks.

 

[Youngj]

Are the oxfords known to crease? 3 have just arrived and the old women is already refusing to iron them

Anyone know if the SF flagship will be stocking any Undercover the day it opens Oct 5th?

Went to the 53rd st flagship sunday and it's pretty ******* big. Tourists going apeshit over those stupid down jackets in the tunnel.

Picked up more tees and socks, kinda mad they didn't have my mesh work out shirts but the uu stuff was decently nice. A couple blazers and cardigans plus lounge set only thing I'd probably cop later. Don't like any of the shirts or cargo pants and tees feel terrible.
