anyone got any fit pics of the bulky fleece jacket?

dont think its released yet, didnt see it when i checked out uniqlo yesterday but the parkas were there, picked up a pair of the sweats been wearin them all day

[saffronrevolution]

trying out suddenlee for the first time in order to get some uu skinny jeans, hoping this is all its cracked up to be..

disappointed that the biker jacket wasnt released. any idea when the second drop is?

[wanda]

well, I can say that the parka and the l/s and s/s t-shirts are all cool. parka is a good length and the sizing is pretty much tts. good insulation. t-shirts have a good sleeve and hem length, pleasant enough cotton, nice neck opening. also very happy with the hoodies, despite how they were pictured on a previous page--pockets aren't saggy on mine but I recommend buying the standard uniqlo hoodies simply because of the double zips. the uniqlo fleece lined hoodie looks cool too.

didn't cop the UU fleece jacket because it doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the womens version. womens version reminded me of that undercover winter collection but the mens is shitty. norse projects have a fleece jacket with the same mixed-material-pocket-thing going on, not a fan.

alternative colourway of the sneakers looks like a pair of regular chucks, as someone said before, so not copping. won't bother with the jeans either--might grab a pair when they're on sale but they don't look that special.

Bulky Fleece has been released in the UK...

I have to agree with Wanda on the parka point. I've proxied a few of these now for various people and having handled it while repacking them, the quality overall seems very good for the price point. £129.99 is a lot for Uniqlo in some respects, but I feel it's worth the price tag.

returned mine, material felt like shit. might be biased as I'm really going off blazers these days. fit was okay but I wouldn't say it was good value for money.

DAMN I need that women's wool coat. Exactly what I am looking for on the cheap $

[on-display]

is the padded lining in the parka removable?

[High Monika]

^ yes.

[willy cheesesteak]

To add to Hang the DJ's post, someone on Styleforum took pics of the items he tried on at the SoHo location:

Stopped by the SoHo store early to try on as much UU as possible. Took a lot of pics, made an album of everything I ended up trying on http://imgur.com/a/JcTey#0. Some really good stuff, but a lot of not so good. They didn't have the peacoat or the bikers jacket in yet. Best pieces, in my opinion, are the utility parka, padded sport coat, puffy down jacket, flannel shirt jacket, wool blend cargos, sweatpants and the slim cords. Everything else was disappointing.

EDIT: forgot to mention, everything is size XS except the pants (cargos/sweats are size S and the slim cords are 29).

thanks for the write up. will probably be @ the soho store sometime tomorrow to grab some tees and maybe the flannel shirt. meh : /

[zachinthebox]

Whoops, posted in superfashion, should've posted here. Yeah, like willy cheesesteak said, I went to SoHo and tried on a bunch of stuff, took some pics. I agree with most of what Hang the DJ said, but I actually liked the padded sport coat. The fleece was terrible and I didn't like the wool blended jacket, the fit was weird. Sleeves are kind of long and the surgeon cuffs make tailoring a bitch.

what's you're height/weight btw?

Shameless self-promotion, but I proxy Uniqlo. Do it for MFA over on reddit, but I figure I should expand to sufu and SF before e-commerce makes me defunct. Just send an email over to [email protected] if you want something or just want to ask a specific fit question or something.

[arya_triad]

how does the wool blended pant fit? Does it have drawstring like the wool cargo or elasticated waistband?

I checked out the UU collection at the 5th Avenue store today.

I didn't buy anything for myself, but did try on a few things.

I've been looking for a green hooded parka for at least 4 years now. This just wasn't the parka of my dreams. The small was too tight in the chest, but the medium (pictured) looks too bulky. The butt balloons out and just looked kind of ridiculous. I also didn't like that the placement of the buttons/zipper in front is not in the middle.

Women's biker jacket in size medium. Quality of the fake leather seemed ok, made a lot of squicky noises when I moved around though. Overall, I thought it was a cool look, but these types of jackets really do not flatter my body type.

Men's parka, size XS. I kinda liked this way more than the women's one. I should've tried tightening the drawstrings at the waist (which I think the women's does not have, oddly enough) to see if I could get it to look less like a sausage. I also really wish the pockets had side openings so I could stick my hands in there. Top opening only.

Men's quilted field coat thingy, size XS. Looks weird on me because the top button is about to fly off, but I saw a guy try it on and I got a female boner.

Men's popcorn fleece thingy, size XS. I have mixed feelings about this, and wish they had the women's version so I could compare. Overall, I think I'd be into it on a guy, but it would have to be styled properly. Maybe with the UU gray sweatpants rolled up. I don't know if I'd like it with trousers because it's really casual and bulky.

I think it's worth mentioning that Uniqlo is currently having a final sale of all of the leftover +J stock. The above is a women's size small navy coat, which I liked the cut of much more than the current season UU women's coat (better waist definition, sleeves are better placed). On sale from ~$250 or so down to $80, but I didn't get it for some reason. I'm considering going back for it. Also to the dudes who are considering getting the UU women's coat for themselves, please reconsider wearing a women's coat.

In case this helps with figuring out sizing, my measurements are about 39-28-39.

[rirawin]

I think the men's utility coat looks good on you! Definitely more so than the women's. There is a women's version of the bulky fleece... but has a deep "V".

For those who are interested the Men's UU pleather jacket has been released...

as well as the Premium down jacket...

If anyone wants a free proxy just give me a shout

[wanda]

definitely go back for the +J coat, that looks excellent on you.

[gettoasty]

^agree and about wearing that coat for women *pause*

i'll see if i can get my hands on the coat by supreme

[home]

disappointed the olive premium down jacket doesn't have tan pleather details as the lookbook shots suggested it would..
