The Uniqlo Thread

[Jineline]

Hey everyone! Did anyone tried or buy this new short blouson? It has been sold out ever since it was featured on GQ as a « must-buy ». Curious about fit and material (polyester).

Make This $50 Uniqlo Jacket Your First Great Fall Purchase

But be quick about it—they can't keep this thing in stock.

I just picked this up over the weekend. I had it in my cart early last week but didn't pull the trigger and then it sold out. Had no idea GQ ran an article about it. I ended up going to the store and seeing it in person and it was a definite cop for me. I like the fit and for $49, the material is okay with me. Nice fall jacket imo.

Would you say it is TTS?

Yup, TTS imo.

Yup, TTS imo.

Do you still have any room for layering, partucularly in chest and armpits/shoulders area? Last years MA-1 jacket was too small for me in that areas. I went tts with an M, and it was essentially the same as my old nike jaket in S, just longer with bigger belly.

Preview is up for the WM collaboration. The collection is small and it seems okay. I'm pretty disappointed that there are no pants though.

So EG is no longer in the works?

Collection and look book vid shows a very tight and lean capsule. Perhaps a sign of the times we live in, to minimise waste & carbon foot print.

Overall i like this.

Anyone know when the overshirts and cord work pants and shirts gonna hit the US site? Are they in the US stores?

New collection online. Can’t buy anything. Either because of color range, or materials suck. Shame!

Long time lurker on this thread and I have to concur with some of the sentiments on the U line. I really want to love it but it does feel increasingly, almost purposefully bland. One thing I do like season-on-season are their T-shirts – especially the long sleeves with the drop pocket, but even these I just find the pallette a bit dreary (wish they'd mix in some brighter colours now and then, like an orange or a yellow).

On an unrelated note I'm also envious that women get the Ines Le Fresange line, which seems to represent a vibe mostly absent from Uniqlo (ie quasi-APCish tailoring). The men's AW collection from 2017 (the only time they did it) had some really nice bts – including tweed jackets, dobby shirts, chesterfields etc, all with some really nice detailing. Why can't men's have something like that?

I tried the workpants in store and felt they kinda tight on my usual waist 31-32.

Usually anything wide in the description i go a half size down but they felt TTS or even 1 size up.

How did you find the material on those?

How did you find the material on those?

Sturdy. There is a thickness to it. Mid weight fabric. IT does have a high rise, so i guess it's designed to go higher up the waist line.

I think these will go well with any flannel or denim jacket and should rest nicely on boots or current trend of retro sneakers.

That sounds pretty good. Is it the same material as the Chinos (assuming they're the same as previous seasons)?

I didn't really notice the chinos except for a passing glance. I wasn't impressed by those in SS21...they were lint magnets. Back to the work pants - Uniqlo describes them as moleskin fabric. I reckon they will start to have a nice fade after each use/wash depending on the user.

I was more interested in the variety afforded by the W's side. In fact the #1 item i went straight for were the gathered sweat pants. They met expectations & So is the 100% ribbed wool cardigan. I was surprised.

TBH this collection is super lean and only the flannel jackets spark any kind of print/pattern.

Still there were some gems in both M & W's as highlighted above.

This gives me hope JWA will have better options as he always seemed to be the weaker comparing both B2B.

 

[WayneLyndon]

The workpants and chinos only go up to size 33 (in EU atleast)

is there any hope to get bigger sizes, does Uniqlo update later or is this it? Last summer’s JWA collection sold out bigger sizes in trousers right away and never restocked So I’m not holding my breath. Bummer.
