Somewhere between the release of a flashy and fanciful advertising campaign for the Fall seasons and its arrival on the sales floor, UNIQLO's enthusiasm for the final season of its UU Uniqlo Undercover collaboration line evaporated. It's already on sale (see below). It isn't terribly surprising that that the burgeoning chain wouldn't want to go overboard on promotion once it was announced that the collaboration with designer Jun Takahashi would not continue past this season, but even on its launch day, the label was relegated to the atrium side aisles of the Fifth Avenue flagship's mezzanine.

In retail, that's what we call Siberia.

This is in stark contrast to the initial collections which were given prime real estate on the store's main, top floor complete with their own specially designed carpets and display furniture. Now the Fall deliveries, which have barely been on the floor for three weeks, are on sale. While it may just be a temporary price promotion, it looks like UU has not been able to muster up the same kind of excitement as the chain's previous +J label designed by Jil Sander. Even that line was a bit overstocked in the end, mostly due to the opening of an additional two flagship stores last Fall. If you still have a hankering for a last bit of masstige Jil Sander, there is still quite a bit of that year-old collection on clearance at the Fifth Avenue store, and even it has a better location in the store than UU.

It's too bad that the line doesn't seem to have caught on better. It has some great pieces at excellent prices, especially in men's and women's outerwear. And it's launch seems to have encouraged the chain to bring children's clothes back to its U.S. stores. It is now children's apparel that has mostly taken over the mezzanine level of the Fifth Avenue store that was originally designated for the chain's designer collaborations. Uniqlo executives promise that they are working on a new ongoing designer collaboration project, though it is hard to think of a designer who might be available in the way Jil Sander uniquely was. That line probably only ended because, unbeknownst to us at the time, Sander was planning to return to the luxury label bearing her own name. Hopefully, Uniqlo will find s new design partner with her appeal, and they are about to get a better sampling of their American customers' tastes. Next month, the first West Coast flagship store will open after much buildup and fanfare in San Francisco, but next week, the retailer will take a second shot at the New Jersey suburbs with a store opening at Garden State Plaza in Paramus meant to be a template for smaller, suburban stores that will take the brand's expansion to a new level. Having spent many years serving only New York City in America, we will soon see how Uniqlo responds to its customers' demands in other parts of the country.

The Unilqo site says Fall. Which means now till probably December. Some people have said October, my guess is somewhere around Thanksgiving/before Christmas.

Do the JP/UK online stores sell the exact same items as the store, seasonal items, have sales, or is it just certain items.

still, hardly a bad collection in my view. given the pricepoint - especially on sale. the pants are pretty great and well comfy.

cargos with the much-maligned bulky fleece. both US medium - i'm 182cm and 65kgs. fits well except the sleeves are an inch or so long on the jacket. excuse the dirty mirror.

Bought the parka and wool cargo pants on a whim (on sale still too). May end up in supermarket in a few months. Nothing jumped out, but still felt obligated to buy some pieces after seeing the collection in person.

mind how you found the wool pants fit? this S,M,L for pants is confusing!

Most of the Uniqlo x Undercover collection on the UK webstore has had price reductions...

http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/clothing/uu/men/

Despite some items not saying "sale" next to the price, they have been reduced, e.g. Utility Parka is down from £129.90 to £89.90, Premium down jacket and Peacoat from £99.90 to £89.90 etc.

Pretty sure the only items that haven't been reduced are the beanie and stole.

If anyone wants a free proxy drop me a PM...

To anyone who bought or handled the parka, do you think it's warm enough for winter? I'm in Toronto, so I guess a NY/Chicago winter is about the same. Not sure how warm it is with the lining and I'd also be layering.

And any word on if the online shop will ship to Canada?

i know everyone keeps saying it's warm, and it is, but when you break it down the outer is pretty damn flimsy and the lining is hardly substantial. i'm in northern europe and beginning to get cold with it late at night / early morning. just sayin'.

in other news, copped the premium puffer and wool blended trousers and both are by far the highlights of the collection for me. +j quality. i'll probably flip most of my stuff at some point, but these two will be kept.
