Uniqlo S/S 11

[the breaks]

They haven't even started shipping outside the UK yet and they've been talking about that for like 2 years.

[Nov Spur]

There used to be multiple New Jersey locations which were shut down when the Manhattan store opened.

Yeah I used to live 10 minutes from one of them, and they were doomed from day one. Idk if they were banking on the asian population in the area already being aware of uniqlo, but the place was completely unknown to most of the average mallgoers. Total failure in terms of marketing, and they only seemed to stock their lower end basics. Shame they didn't put more into it.

it was the right thing to do - if they tried doing that in a high profile launch in soho it would have damaged the brand in the states. ironically, the NJ stores were basically H&Ms then they launched as a high value fashion brand in soho which now is basically attracting H&M customers with crapper products than they used to carry (or rather, much more infrequent high quality products)

i think i debated with omc whether the first two parts of the story was all part of an intentional business plan a few years ago.

[mellowfellow]

Now I only buy their socks and +J collections. i also miss their collaborations with other designers (opening ceremony, tim hamilton..) They need to bring that back.

[Desi]

yeah they pretty much only do it for women's now. The last to Morishita collabs were hot too.

But yeah I only go to Uniqlo when A) In NY obviously +J and undergarments C) cord shirts for fall

[DaBestSpoona]

I pretty much only buy +J and their skinny fit tapered jeans when they're on sale.

[home]

i'm down with the socks, but they be a touch too small on US10 feet. at least in jp. offer a larger size!

[Futurian]

Does Uniqlo in Soho still carry the 4.95 packet tees? I read somewhere that they discontinued it. Can anyone shed some light?

[Dam Its Johnny]

I emailed and asked about phone orders, and they don't know when they would have an online store.

Dear Valued Uniqlo Customer,

Thank you for your interest in Uniqlo!

We would like to inform you that we are no longer accepting phone and email orders. Due to the complexity involved in processing the orders, we determined that the practice is not appropriate for our customers. We hope to launch an E-commerce in the future, but at this time, we do not have further details. As of right now, purchasing items from the Uniqlo Soho Store would be by physically dropping by the store. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For inquiries and other concerns you may call our Customer Service at 1-877-4UNIQLO(1-877-486-4756) or email thru [email protected].

They have 4.95 "Dry" shirts in packs. They're supposed to wick sweat off your skin. Feel about the same as the old shirts.

[willy cheesesteak]

Anybody know if the SoHo store still has any of the premium linen shirts?

[Phrost3]

^the 100% linen? yes. it's mostly uniteresting solid colors left - black, navy, white

[ohsnap]

willy, i think some of them are on sale, but like phrost said, mostly boring colors left

[Mr HaGa]

I'm in NY this weekend, what's good at Uniqlo at the moment? Worth stopping in for anything?

[eaglezephyr]

+J a/w 2011 - set to be final season for uniqlo and jil sander's collaborations

http://hypebeast.com/2011/06/uniqlo%E2%80%99s-j-fallwinter-2011-set-to-be-final-season/

[proteus]

Wonder if this means they'll actually bring back the Designer's Invitation project for menswear as well then - they've only been doing it for the ladies recently.

[DaBestSpoona]

This last season better be good, Jil Sander needs to step it up. The sizing and cuts were really bad this spring.

[dddr]

massive sale going on....

[Dead_Wizard]

polo's down to 9.90, cropped chinos 14.90, lots of other random stuff on sale too (+J, denim, v neck dry fit t's, bunch of damaged crap)

[unknownpleasures]

Can anyone comment on the sizing on shirts long and short sleeve this season?

I got a friend going to NY this weekend and I usually get JPN Med / US Small but looking at the measurements on the JPN site, it looks like things run bigger now???!

[conqueror]

japanese oxfords definitely fit smaller than last season, not bigger. not sure about everything else.

[tu_madre51]

In NY for a bit and was wondering if there's anything worth copping? Thanks in advance

[profiterole]

Oh my.. I dont know what to think :$

[flock 2.0]

[DüM]

could be cool

[michaelttizzle]

ill be needing a proxy for that eventually. can someone pm me if willing?

[Desi]

you all can be giant bums if you want to but I am still hyped for the final +J collection. That Fall/Winter baby!

^l o l

looks like the same shitt, a lot of basic outerwear. Not that I really mind tho, I'm missing a lot of basic outerwear so this will fill the gap in my wardrobe this winter.
