Uniqlo F/W 07.08

[emixam]

I picked up the short down jacket, and waow...it is much better than last year ! I hesitated last year to buy it, but the overall look was average and the inside polyester colour was....flashy green (outshell was black)...so I didn`t buy it. But this season, the colours are just fine, and the look/cut even better, made from premium down, it is really warm.....it has the Moncler look that I was looking for (but 5 times cheaper hehe !).

does anyone know if the NY store has the snow-zip style sweaters in stock?

[emixam]

Anyone has seen the little fur hood in stores ? It seems it is not released yet....can`t wait....

[hamham3001]

i don't think they look good....haha maybe the one without fur..haha

[emixam]

I got the shiny Black/navy one without fur....quite short, thick and niiiiice. There were 4 other colours but I am not so sure : like orange, green, purple....I actually like the big hood.

Fantastic outfit, this is tied favourite with the one below.

The sweater worn underneath is absolutely lovely.. Is it wool?

[emixam]

^I got the exactly same down jacket. As for the sweater I guess it will be 100% wool....I love it too, but still not in store right now.

[polishmike]

They have the shawl collar sweaters. 4 solid colors and 4 with stripes. They are $40. 45% wool, rest acrylic and nylon. They are ok but not that nice.

[homi29]

what are the other solid colors?

[TheBrokeDJ]

^^ dark blue, dark brown....yeah i expected better quality from the pics

[polishmike]

solid are grey, beige, red and black. stripes are black and grey, red and beige and two other ugly ones.

does anyone know a online retailer of uniqlo?

[Guest rambo]

Have anyone tried their cashmere sweaters? Are they good / average / bad?

[turcy.]

just got my order from uniqlo, impressed with the quality, especially considering the price

i got a lambswool cardigan, some v-necks, and a blue oxford shirt

everything fits much bigger than i expected, but the oxford is beautiful, love the colour, collar, and cut of it

below average. worth about what you're paying for it.

same applies for the fabrics on most of their other stuff.

their $5 solid t-shirts are pretty nice, though.

the corduroy pants that everyone was raving about are disappointing. they're thin and cheap feeling.

the shawl sweaters have a ton of acrylic and nylon in them

the marino wool sweaters are acceptable, but again, they're worth about as much as you're paying, and they don't come in any interesting colors.

[Guest rambo]

Personally, I find their plain white t-shirts made of "luxury cotton" to be very good. They are indeed cheap and very comfortable. I have tons of them. Also jeans are nice and some outerwear, and shirts. As for sweaters, they are indeed not very cool. I have some wool sweaters too and I'm not satisfied with their fit.

[catcatcatcatcat]

Really nice, can you buy any of this stuff on the web?

on the balance they're not that great but the lutz and patmos capsule collection from last month is better than their average line. their basic sweaters have a relaxed fit which is sort of annoying.

the premium down jacket that's out now is crazy nice for 130, not sure if it's the short one people are referencing though

i have a 38" chest and size small fits fine. i'm not sure why everyone has the preconceived notion that everything must fit super tight. it certainly hugs the shoulders, arms and chest a good amount, and doesn't fit like a sweatshirt i'd wear to the gym. too bad the quality leaves a lot to be desired.

[onemancult]

for the price, the quality leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. you're a little bit of a stickler if you're honestly knocking their product as shoddy.

[emixam]

The V neck merinos sweater are just fine with me. Colours, quality, cut and prices satisfy me enough !

well i personally don't like skinny fit. however if you are doing a basic offering, does it have to fit like an ll bean sweater with no options for variation? my point being that they could have hewn a little closer to a contemporary fit, as is the case in pretty much everything else they do.

SO did the Kim Jones, Carrie Cassett Playa, Pugh stuff come out today?

[the_state]

CO-SIGN ON THE PUFFY SHORT JACKET.

what's this about CCP and Kim Jones?

[onemancult]

kim jones, gareth pugh, and cassetteplaya designed UT shirts for uniqlo.

[polishmike]

supposedly they should be out today. i'll be in the area tomorrow so i'll stop by to check.

[the_state]

no CP/Jones/Pugh shirts at uniqlo as of 11.1

most of their stock is running REAL low, i'd assume their getting a big shipment in soon.

ps - there are new cords out... s-002 cut. they look nice! much more traditional corduroy fabric than the slim ones OMC was raving about a few weeks back
