[kunk75]

^+1. gonna get the chesterfield and a flannel suit fo sho

[polishmike]

i'm going 30 min before opening. will be selling it with 666% markup.

[lmaozedong]

but isnt this a new addition to uniqlos line in general, not just a temporary limited collab thing? meaning it should be restocked over and over and over again...

[kunk75]

^if they are smart they will. don't need temporary, hyped-up collab. it's jil for chrissakes.

[Guest umhaha84]

can someone proxy me the chesterfield coat? pm me

[unknownpleasures]

does anyone have the 14-wale cord or raw jeans in straight fit?

I'm trying to get waist , knee and hem measurements for a size 30 or +/- 1 from that.

Much appreciated!

[kunk75]

yes, pm'd you

can someone proxy me the chesterfield coat? pm me

[kunk75]

so it seems that this will become a regualr collection and not a limited-time collab. may be best to wait a few days for hype to die down.

[polishmike]

kunk-man, how do you know this? i mean i believe you but i rather not miss out on this.

[DaBestSpoona]

fuck I'm in shitty ass boston for work on release weekend

it's not unheard of for regular collection stuff to get sold through pretty quickly with no restock. everybody and their sister who's into uniqlo is going to be there thursday. look at what happened with cdg/h&m.

the weird thing for me is that it's jil sander, not exactly a designer with mainstream rtw cachet. from a marketing perspective they did a great job of making people think they'll get jil sander quality stuff at uniqlo prices across the board.

[Liberation1945]

wait. what is km? fishtail parka? darn.

wait? +j? like plus jay. jayz. wo.

[Liberation1945]

are there fishtails left cause i dont mind color.

[dino might]

dave i was there two days ago and they still had a good number of them

[polishmike]

they still had some yesterday

[kunk75]

^well, many have said this as it is jil's new gig, and has been referred to as her first collection for the brand. also got some info from a friend at H&M.

[kunk75]

totally different.

[readytoignite]

let me clarify - if hundreds of people show up thursday pushing and grabbing an armload of whatever they can get ahold (as with cdg/h&m), then the question of whether or not this is a limited vs regular collection series is a moot one. yes there may be restocks down the line, but this would be true whether it's a collaboration or not, no?

the fact that there are no phone orders and that uniqlo employees can't put pieces on hold would imply that this collection is somewhat limited and they want to satisfy in-store demand first.

i think it would be wise to withhold assumptions until hearing otherwise from a credible source such as ms yardbird.

[polishmike]

it could be even worse than cdg/hm. at least that was launched at few stores at the same time. unless they do some kind of limit of one size/item per person, it will be chaos again.

[sushijerk]

The +J is not a flagship thing right? From what I understand all the Uniqlos should be getting +J which hopefully means they have a lot of stock to fulfill demand.

I also hope this screws over the ppl push and grab and not allow me to browse in peace just so they can try to flip on the resell.

[kunk75]

apparently they will limit how many items someone can pick up. i also fear that quality wise, the suits will be h&m level

[polishmike]

apparently they will limit how many items someone can pick up.

that only means people will line up with whole families.

kunk, you have nothing to worry about. with your size you'll push through the crowd like they are a bunch of kids. i also think it will be mostly women, so the mens stuff should be easier to grab.

they have one coat on display behind the glass. it looks very nice.

[kunk75]

^but i am getting a coat for the wife and bitches put up a helluva fight. i know from the warehouse sale.

For Sander, and for Uniqlo, this is not a one-off novelty collection, designed to maximise press coverage and generate mass hysteria the morning the clothes go on sale. This is, they hope, an ongoing collaboration. The prototypes for spring/summer 2010 are ready to be fitted, and word is that while the autumn/winter collection is firmly monochrome, the new samples are imbued with a soft colour palette.

[Liberation1945]

what if raf took over +j too thatd be FUNNY TEHEHEHEHE

[polishmike]

That doesn't mean it won't sell out on the first day. It just means she might continue designing other seasons.

We've seen regular stuff like windbreakers sell out quickly and never get restocked. I think this will be restocked just like Tim Hamilton was during the next day or two, but don't hold your breath that it will hang on the wall in full size run by the end of the month or even week.

[Raskol]

looking for a proxy for one of the +J coats.

willing to pay the proxy fees.

hit me up via PM please. thanks.

[onemancult]

8am, posted up with a stale doughnut from the breakfast/halal cart that is always in front of uniqlo, swear to god. need the mac and the flannel blazer.

[Jkissi7]

I have been telling my friends who work there to hold down my size(S) which will be gone quickly, depends though from them what I was told they will restock - who knows though they weren't too sure
