The Uniqlo Thread

[JanC]

Are the items of the +J release any different from the previous?

 

[NaTionS]

Cut is mostly the same. Materials can be better or worse.

fit on the compact v down cardigans?

light cotton blazer and linen cardigan came in

body of the cardigan is nice and loose but the sleeves might be too slim for some. i took my slim fit oxford size.

no complaints about the blazer

this is expected as my knit size is one larger than slim oxford

I need to stock up on chinos and I remember Uniqlo was always the gold standard for mid-range. Is this still the case?

 

[jet]

uniqlo is the gold standard for low end

Anyone try the slim fit ankle pants? How does the fit compare to the slim fit chinos?

Anyone own the Polo's by Michael Bastian? I'm a XS in Club Monaco and J crew and wondering if I would be the same in the polo's?

Yeah, that's more accurate. UVC's still the best bet?

I'm selling the light cotton blazer (navy, size M) for $35 shipped. only tried on, noticed chest was too small for me 2nd go-around after I took off the tags. PM me for deeetz.

Compare with J.Crew Bowery dress pants, is +J tapered about the same fit? Or slimmer?

I may be wrong and I believe there is a Bowery classic and a Bowery slim. Fit is relatively similar to Bowery slim

from about 09-12 i used to get a friend to send over ocbd's from japan since australia didn't have any stores and the fit/price were pretty much spot on. they tended to fluctuate ever so slightly from season to season (some are thinner than others, different collar sizes, shades of blue etc) but i always remained the same size. qlo ended up opening here about a year ago and recently my ocbd's have needed replacing, so i decided to try them out after never having one from outside japan.

the australian stores only seem to sell the 'slim fit' ocbd which is talked about on here and fits me super weirdly - i normally wear a S in most of their western (not JP) shirts and the M is waaaay too long on the arms and is like a dress. i'm not a small dude either (6'1/165lb), do the US stores still sell a regular fit? muji would be an alternative but unfortunately the aus locations don't sell much in terms of clothing compared to japan (and presumably the states).

edit: interestingly the flannels in a S fit me pretty much perfectly, although the linen 'shirts' are more like dresses.

Thanks a lot.
