The Uniqlo Thread

WHAT. 2020 redeemed. I hold +J in such esteem it's hilarious. I come across their pieces in thrifts from time to time and it's all held up well.

True. Not much info yet, but quite exciting as I haven't been able to appreciate +J well years back. I'm guessing the fits and silhouettes will adjust to the current times as I've seen an oversized shirt in the interview article.



@anonymouz That link might be the old one Best Of collection, hopefully they update soon!

Ah ok. Can't wait to see the new collection

I'm ready to start furiously checking this thread again

Can anyone ID the blue flannel jacket that the model is wearing on this product page? https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/men-sm...en-new-arrivals#start=1&cgid=men-new-arrivals

In for a +J suit and if they bring back that awesome shawl collard cardigan.

Doesn't mean the new stuff will though; things change fast in, err, fast fashion.

OT, but elastic on Muji garments from 5 years ago still going strong. Ones from last year; ready for the trash. No reason to assume that new +J will be made in the same factories, with the same materials, and to the same standards, as the old stuff.

The +J shawl collared cardigan was awesome but I sadly outgrew it. Uniqlo quality has gone down since they expanded in the US so I wouldn't be surprised if VinceCompost is right. I will still buy a +J suit if it's decent quality because I want something cheap and I outgrew all my suits too after having a kid. (no time to eat right and work out)

 

[Coldsnap]

Yea, for sure. Uniqlo quality has gone down since they expanded their US operations. But I remember when Uniqlo Jeans were like $80ish right? Prices have come down at least 50%, while maintaining sort of decent quality.

 

[Timbaland]

I think only the MIJ selvedge jeans were that much? I remember going to the NYC store before they expanded and bought some vintage chinos, OCBD, and a few other things.

Im pretty sure the price was the same when I tried buying more vintage chinos and OCBDs online and was disappointed.

 

[Coldsnap]

Yea, the MIJ ones. I think vintage chinos were $59, but might be wrong, this was a long time ago! Haha. The current cut of the vintage chion are just about perfect for me. Do wish the material was a bit more substantial though, but still they look decent.

I'd much rather pay a little more for decent quality than filling my closet with disposable "designer" trash. The problem is there is very little middle ground. Either you have fast-fashionesque pricing/quality, or really expensive artisanal ****.

Considering a Uniqlo down coat this year, one of the proper winter ones, not the lightweight down jackets. Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative? I’m not expecting an Eddie Bauer for the price but if they’re reasonably decent it‘s probably worth it for me as it will only be used occasionally.

I have ultra warm down coat from few seasons back and it has served me well in cold finnish winters. Its very very warm and living up the name. Only worry is that zipper feels plastic and low quality so it probably wont hold for centuries but maybe it can be replaced.

Very good and working design with fake fur hood and pockets. Keeps me warm. I have carhartt winter down coat that is not even close as warm. Never tried CG etc. so cant compare
