The cotton blouson doesn't look bad, and there are a few other small basics here and there I'll probably look to pick up. I imagine the shorts are pretty well-cut for their price. Hoping the linen shirts fit well, too.

strong collection imo. better than the last, not only because of its size. hopefully the webstore is better prepared this time around, quite a few items i'm interested in

I like the blazers.. the rest are meh for me.


This was my reaction as well.. and only the navy blazer with normal chest pocket, not patch. Shirts are basically the same as the last collection except with the added detail of goofy stripes everywhere. Chinos are just regular chinos… pleated pants are a niche maybe. Everything else … like you said, meh.

edit: ok… I did forget a couple of the linen shirts might be good. Polos, printed tees, striped shirts both long and short are just straight up goofy.

For me, I think its the location of the pocket for many of them.
Sure, it's what makes Lemaire Lemaire, but since its a collaboration with Uniqlo, its now being marketed to a different group of people who might find the location too unorthodox.

Secondly, I've a feeling it won't sell out as fast, simply because it's the second time around. When Michael Bastion did a collab with Uniqlo, it was really popular and people lined up for it. He kept coming back and people (at least in Japan), got used to it, and things lasted longer as people now think (well this year's so so, lets wait and see what next year's collab will bring).
There were a ton of MB stuff in the bargain bin shortly thereafter.

it's a lot weaker then FW imo.. but then again i'm a sucker for outerwear, knits & more muted color palette.

Nothing really jumps out as a must buy, but I can see the appeal of putting together a chambray suit.

Anybody know if the cotton flat front pants will stretch/soften up? I probably should've gotten a 31 but they were sold out and they were a steal at $20.

As per usual I come to find an item I love that is long gone from any convenient retailer, so if anyone can point me to the Lemaire duffle coat in brown I'd be eternally grateful

The cotton chinos are last year are uniform stiff & canvas like in nature.

I know this because I was soaking them in by hand wash and was surprised how long it took for the water to soak in.

I got a L wool cashmere coat, tts, everything fits fine but the sleeves are 23.5" and come up to my wrist. The seller didn't mention anything about alterations. He shortened them right?
