I was in NYC last week visiting and getting ready to make the move, and wasn't getting charged sales tax on some of the clothing I bought. I asked one of the store owners and I guess now there is no sales tax on any wearable items costing less than like $125 or something? I don't know it sounded weird but the only thing I actually paid tax on was some stuff @ Barney's. Maybe I missed something because the last time I was in NYC was probably 8 or 9 years ago.

correct, NYC tax doesn't hit until your totals over like 125.

The zip up is nice. Very light weight for summer.

thanks,

has anyone seen the madras shorts with ties in the store?
these ones http://www.uniqlo.co.uk/catalogue/me...ras-half-pants

Tax is only applied on a single garment over $110 and not on overall purchase total.

can anyone comment on their hoodie sizing? material? worth getting?

I was underwhelmed by this place when I went. After reading and hearing about, I had unrealistic hopes I guess. I liked the linen dress shirts they had but was too sick to feel like trying them on.

Uniqulo is definetely overrated.

THE UNIQULO BACKLASH HAS BEGUN!!!!!11!one

Haha. I feel bad for people thinking they're going somewhere and getting super nice designer inspired pieces for cheap. It's just an alternative to jcrew/gap with similar stuff. ****'s cheap, some of the stuff is designed ok and fit ok. The store is ******* massive so people have a lot of options.

Coldsnap · May 13, 2009

you guys are crazy, ***** cheap and fits good. I can work in them and not give a **** about an article getting caught in a machine and ripping

Opening ceremony is now on sale near the rear of the store on the upper floor. TONS of product as of last sunday when I went.

I picked up the gilded age cotton blazer in khaki color and want to get it in navy but these collabs don't seem to be doing too well and they go on sale rather quick. I'll swing by in a few weeks and see what's going on.

Whats the sizing like on the gilded age cotton blazers? I was thinking of phone-ordering one... I know they run smaller than regular sizes but I wondered if the medium would still be too big for me (36 chest) ?

aqhong · May 14, 2009

^ Medium'll probably be fine. It's Japanese sizing, so medium is actually a regular Uniqlo small.

Yo I heard there was gonna be a fight in front of Uniqlo.

Bakes · May 26, 2009

emailed about a shirt and was told the gilded age stuff sold out already?

Anyone been recently and know what the current promos are?

Also, how often do they have promos for jeans? I was still in the city when the S-001 were at 2 for $50 and for some reason didn't buy.
