when the heck are measurements going to be up on uk site. Need them before I order on the 16th!

[Augustus]

This isn't expected to sell out tomorrow right? Like I can just walk into the 5th ave store and check out the stuff?

there should be plenty

[Nov Spur]

My understanding is that it will be more or less comparable to +J stocks, with some stuff selling out pretty quickly and others being restocked throughout the spring/summer. That opinion is based purely on fuck all though.

Just a heads up, looks like Uniqlo China's site has measurements posted for most items.

[Desi]

[saepnirg]

measurements are up on the UK site

[whizkit]

some mad grabbing being reported at the Singapore store.

[t0fu]

sizing only up to 33 on almost all the pants! CURSES!

[yoda91]

sizes are selling mad fast...

[prokart]

just came back from Uniqlo flagship in Taiwan. Some mad grabbing did happen like what usually happens at H&M designer collaboration drops.

Some quick fit (and crap) pics. I am usually a size 36~38, 5'95", 144lb. Usually wear medium for Uniqlo stuff. I will post better pics later on today:

Easy jacket in medium

Rider jacket in Large

hooded parka in medium

I liked the fit of most of the stuff. The zip up blouson jacket feels paper thin though. The quality of the pleather of the rider feels ok for the price. The easy jacket and parka's quality feels mediocre.

The sweatpants in medium fits good on me (I wear size 29~30) But didn't end up getting anything.

[yoda91]

some items detailed are quite 'undercover' to me..some good pieces to match with other labels

[Desi]

the parka actually looked nice on you bro.

[rirawin]

I'm happy to do an online uk store proxy for free. Just cover costs plus shipping via ems to wherever you are. UK standard shipping from Uniqlo is currently free until sunday for those who want to save £5. PM if you need a hand.

managed to pick up a white oxford, really nice for the price

[metropolis]

is rider jacket in size L on you?

It looks really tight, how is sizing on it?

[steviecuhz]

Where is that wine parka on the website?

[home]

judging from the pictures above - i'm typically a 36+" chest, but quite tall at 6' - i should be looking at asian large?

There's actually not too much difference between medium and large for the riders. The shoulder widths of the two are almost identical, and large is like 1/2 inch larger than medium in the body at most. I got a large cuz i figured I might want to layer something underneath. Medium would be the ideal fit if I am wearing a tee under it. On the other hand, the difference between the sizes are more obvious for other items, like the easy jacket.

For the rider I think a large would work. For other stuff you might want to try on both medium and large...

Here are some photos of the jackets:

wow up close the leather looks better than expected. thanks prokart!

[prokart]

All zippers are YKK zippers, with the UU logo detail. The wine parka is 100% cotton, so is the easy jacket.

Here's a brief breakdown of the items that I saw/tried on:

-The overall cheaper price compared to +J is reflected in the inferior quality....

-Got the green tote bag, but it's just a canvas tote that looks exactly the same as it shows on the site so there's not picture for it. No one was touching the tote nor the striped L/S shirt and and the checked shirts in Taiwan. The fit on the shirts are close to the normal Uniqlo shirts in the same size, and the small collar fits nicely.

-There is no color difference between the jersey part and the pleather part of the blue rider jacket, it looks very nice also. The cardigan feels like normal Uniqlo cardigan with shoulder patches.

-I personally think the cut on light cotton jacket is really good and almost bought it.

-The sweatpants are comparably well made for the price.

-The zip-up blouson is the biggest disappointment. It's much too thin, and the maroon seems a bit more dark pink than the on the site. The green one is nice though.

-The red stripe of the red/navy L/S tee definitely looks orange to me

BTW, the staff says the stock is quite limited, and they are not sure about restocking. Not sure if that applies elsewhere though. Rider and a number of items are sold out on the Taiwanese Uniqlo site.

The hooded blouson looks nice. However, wondering how it fits when its not zipped or at least not to the top? Like how does the hood and stuff drape and not fully zipped up?

[yoda91]

the sleeve of the rider is rather long...the parkas are abit small. i am a true size s can fit into m nicely

[cameron-]

no tees in soho. double rider sleeves are sooo comfy

[Njalle]

are the tees and jeans true to size?
