The Uniqlo Thread

[lemonpotty]



I ordered a pair of the white hi-tops and a hoodie, but I'm having them sent to the Beverly Center store for pick up so I can return them right away if I don't like them or if they don't fit. I should be able to see part of the collection there in person when I pick them up, too.

Do you mind taking pictures or commenting on the jacquard weaved sweater (without the geometric graphic) and any other items you find noticeable?

Just checked out the stuff at the NYC store

Standouts
- Denim shirts -- relatively thick fabric with hidden button down collars
- Milano ribbed crewneck sweaters -- nice and thick -- the khaki colorway is awesome
- Broadcloth printed short-sleeve shirt -- sturdy cotton and cool print

Were the Milano sweaters more like a heavy t-shirt or light sweater? That's the piece I'm most interested in this time around, but it looks like a t-shirt in the look book pics but is listed as a sweater, so it had me wondering.

What were you thoughts on it @JilSlander ?

@jilslander Did you check out the black and white t-shirts that are $29.99. Ordered a few in each color hoping they're nice.

The Milano crewnecks I'm referring to are these -- https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/men-u-...6&cgid=men-uniqlo-u#start=9&cgid=men-uniqlo-u

They're really thick and sturdy. I tried it on and wondered why this was a Spring/Summer piece as it felt more like a Fall/Winter piece. Either way, it feels very smooth on the interior, but rugged and warm outside.

To give you a better gauge, they're thicker than the F/W versions, which were wool actually.

Yes, they felt thinner than the $20 versions from FW2016. I was disappointed to be honest.

The better gets would be the $20 tees (indigo + striped), which are $10 cheaper and feel like smooth silk.

Ah I see, we are talking about two different pieces.

The piece I was meaning was the short sleeve Milano sweater (@$29.99). Did you happen to catch those?

They're the short-sleeve version of the long-sleeve sweaters.

So material is thick and warm.

@JilSlander Did you get a chance to check out the jacquard knit supima sweater? How's the texture and color compared to the images online and what are your personal thoughts on it?

How was the sizing on them? I usually wear S but if it's oversized I might go to XS

It was okay. Just felt like a regular Uniqlo light cotton sweater with a cool pattern.

Note that the NYC 5th Ave store only had the white colorway in stock.

I wear a Medium in the Uniqlo U stuff and took a Medium in the Milano sweater.

A bit oversized in the shoulders, but nothing too crazy.

@JilSlander I meant this one: https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/men-u-...oU-sweaters#start=4&cgid=men-UniqloU-sweaters. It was featured in a firstlook. Was wondering what your thoughts on it were after seeing it in person (if you have).

 

[HOT Sriracha]

Anyone see the coach jacket in person -- How is it?

Also, anyone comment on sizing compared to standard Uniqlo items. I sized up on previous U items, but this collection seems to be more relaxed and oversized.

Thanks!

It looks like clothes for older people like 50yrs and over.

Damn. Hope they fit well at least. And thanks for the details!
