As I am now based in Vietnam for work (where most Uniqlo is made but sadly no Uniqlo store yet until Fall 2019), I visited back home in Manila for the weekend as I've missed my family, and of course missed making trips to Uniqlo.
I went to SM Megamall yesterday where one of their large stores are and what a good timing to visit since they had a public exhibit of their Fall/Winter 2019 collection! I took advantage to check out some of the Uniqlo U pieces on display.
Generally, in terms of quality, it's still the Uniqlo U quality we can expect, but since these are samples, it may vary in the final product. Attached are some items I checked out, but didn't take photos of the items we've already seen from Fashion Press and WWD Japan posts.
These wool blend jackets have more acrylic then some wool and nylon. Still nice, I think even if it's more synthetic. I really like the low breast pockets.
The mannequin also wears what seems like a seamless knit. Didn't see the composition but I think it's lambswool blend. Still nice to the touch.
Stand collar shirts are back with double breast button flap pockets. Tag says 100% cotton, but it has a denser feel, similar to last 18FW cotton/lyocell work shirt. Buttons can still really improve - they just love those thick plastic ones :-/
Cavalry twill chinos are pretty much a staple every season, with some new colors. I think there's more but saw the light brown and the rust color.
There's also this acrylic-wool-nylon knit that's like a milano rib knit type.
Men's peacoat is an Ultra Light Down coat
Corduroy jacket in dark brown.
Here's the flannel open collar shirt in gingham check, and what possibly might be this season's pleated chinos, but now in reverse pleats (past seasons have always been forward pleats)
Wool-nylon (88-12) blazer similar to the Uniqlo and Lemaire 16FW
Some of the collared shirting
There's some neon green pinstripes that might not be noticeable in this photo but nice touch.
I think there's still some items we've seen from the WWD Japan and Fashion Press previews that weren't on the rack (like the fleece jackets and the duffel and gingham coats), or might be taken of the shelf in use for media pictorials happening at the same time.
