Uniqlo F/W 07.08

You might be right. Don't duffle coats always have hoods?

[constant struggle]

does anyone else feel like most uniqlo stuff is very long, i am 5"8 150 lbs and everything is really long on me, i can't even wear their clothing :| I dont know if I can downsize to a small from a medium either because of the shoulders issue. But mediums are Really long on me, and not that fitted at all

All said I like the cardigan in grey, its really simple

[onemancult]

do not agree. or maybe we have different conceptions of long.

[fadingblue]

^^^probably. my brother is about 3 or 4 inches taller than me and we tried on the same tee and i said it was perfect and he said it was too long? wtf?

[constant struggle]

i've only tried on stuff from the nj stores, so that could be it, i don't know, they might all be samples that are cut differently..

once again 5'8 and a medium, and they all seem a few inches too long (covers up the entire fly of my denim) pretty much

I'm not trying to stir up a shit storm, but what I saw on the Mannequins in the NY store last night, it looks good from afar, and is certainly well styled, but up close it falls completely flat.

I'll buy maybe 2 or 3 pieces at most, but I find that Most of the companies attempts at complexity just dont feel right for some reason.

We'll see when it actually hits the shelves...

yea the stuff looks great on the mannequins

does anyone know when this stuff actually releases? hopefully before i go off to college so i can pick up a few items

[lestat]

alot of the summer items are on sale right now... more and more F/W stuff coming in

[notesee]

Yeah, all duffle coats have hoods.

this may be out of place but anyone know anything about the possible uniqulo barneys merger?

The merger most likely would not mean anything in terms of affecting the stock and look of either store. Barneys is not being bought by Uniqlo, it is being bought by a Dubai firm who also owns Uniqlo. I imagine they would keep the two properies entirely separate.

And yea Uniqlo definitely has some uneven sizing. The plain/colored tees, UT project graphic ts, and pantone project ts have completely different sizing.

[knucks]

So a lot of the fall stuff is in? If so..i am very hopeful..

actually,

barneys is not being bought by the dubai firm.

the dubai firm does not own uniqlo.

uniqlo is owned by fast retailing corp. of japan.

fast retailing put in a 900 million bid for barneys

dubai firm only put in 825 million

they're locked in arbitration right now, as far as my last update.

as for the difference in tee sizing,

the standard uniqlo tees have one sizing scheme.

all UT tee shirt sizing is actually up to the designers in most cases.

they're not all stock sizes- it varies according to each design.

ding.

[dino might]

^are UT tees still being sold in the stores? i havent been paying attention, i dont know if they were a limited deal or not.

but what i do know is these three are fly and just convinced me to stop in once i get to nyc..

[polishmike]

The last MA-1 jacket belongs in "how to dress like a skinhead" thread. Unfortunately the one at Uniqlo doesn't have a reversible bright orange liner. My old one is in terrible condition so I might get this one.

i was at uniqlo today. and that jacket is indeed a duffle coat. IT does have a hood in the back.

Whoa, I'd only heard about the Dubai bid. I just assumed they must own Uniqlo, even though that sounded weird in my head. Definitely got caught talking out of my ass that time.

Is that duffle even a new item though? They had one last winter but the quality/fit was not very impressive for the price when I checked it out. I'm really liking the peacoat from the lookbook though. You don't see many brown ones and that collar looks interesting.

the nyc uniqlo? did it look like they had most of the new collection?

[Quattroporte]

I'm sad they don't have this in California. I would kill for some of this stuff.

[dougriley1]

I'm going to the soho store tomorrow, will have updates on whether any of their fall line is available

[dino might]

thanks dood

[masuerte]

Any new designer's projects for Uniqlo?

[lv d0n]

I can give you an update right now. A very very very small % of the fall/winter stuff is available right now in SOHO. The flight jacket and anther jacket, and thats pretty much it. Some longsleeves and some cardigans.. nothing too spectacular.

[aziz]

cleannnn from head to toe

[Lucas0607]

God. I need these.

[2:30 Starz In Their Eyez]

yes, thats a very clean outfit

[the breaks]

The styling in these is pure genious. I basically want every single piece.

[dougriley1]

what boots are most of the models wearing?

[blank]

Someone just tell me when the peacoat drops

[irbe78]

Can somebody tell me if Uniqlo sizes are a tad bit smaller? And does the sizes for Japan and US differ? Sorry if this has already been covered. Thanks.

[sohoADDICT]

thanks for the updates guys....

quick Q- which one is the "duffle coat" (the one with the hood)? are the coats thick enough for winter? im lookin for a nice warm winter coat

A few weeks ago we gave you a little outlook of what Uniqlo has to offer in their Fall 2007 collection. Just two weeks ago when visiting the tradeshows in NYC, we also had a first look at the newly opened Uniqlo store in NYC and from what we saw in their Summer collection, we were not very impressed, at least not from the mens collection.

Already at the time when we visited they were previewing the Fall/Winter collection and there were some really nice pieces in there. The now present the complete collection online and also launched it in their stores! Definitely worth going by!

saw this article on highsnobiety today... have they finally released the whole collection, or at least the majority of it?
