it's a gazillion times better than primark. best quality for their price range

>>6784272
They're probably the best in their price range.

I have a jumper from there that's pretty nice , and just ordered the ma-1 from there like half of the board has. Not bad for how cheap it is.

>>6784272
>Are items from Uniqlo decent quality for the price?
they certainly aren't overpriced. the quality is wack

Thanks /fa/, anything special from them? (apart from the MA-1 mentioned).

>>6784293
Their cropped chinos are nice if you're into that sort of thing and their oxfords are a dadcore staple. A lot of people like their premium and Airism Ts as basics, too.

I like their heat-tech stuff and their polo necks are good for the price

>>6784300
Not the guy who asked before but are the hoodies and crew neck sweaters alright?

>>6784314
I have a hoodie and a crew neck sweater out for delivery today, actually. I'll let you know in a few hours.

Most of their stuff aren't slim enough IMO. Good price for the quality though.

>>6784300
Whilst I'm asking /fa/ about Uniqlo, I might as ask about 'overdressing' as mentioned on the /fa/ Wiki.

I'm in my 20s so I don't want to be seen over doing it if I go for a blazer + oxford + chinos for example. (or is that dadcore? I'm new to the whole /fa/ thing).

>>6784317
Sounds good.

Uniqlo related question:
Is the mountain parka waterproof? it doesn't say in the description.

>>6784332
depends what you're wearing that for really

>>6784361
In general (e.g. college, out and about, nothing special).

Ideally avoiding this kind of shit in the pic that I sometimes see.

Question, is UNIQLO's jeans okay-tier for their price range? specially the skinny fit ones.

>>6784390
The T000s are pretty popular.

>>6784390
Their whole jeans range is supposed to be made out of proper denim.

>>6784390
skinny fit fit like a 511/510 cross. really really fucking comfy. quality seems good from the trwo pairs i own

>No small for the ma1
XS here I go. Good thing I'm a short malnutritioned asian

>>6784399
lol just copped an xs. i hope its not too small

>>6784402
Height/weight?
5' 6" 110lb

>>6784390
no, it's all really ugly and looks cheap (as you'd expect). maybe their selvedge was decent, but they don't sell it anymore
>>6784400
>proper denim
don't know where you heard that

>>6784406
I took measurements and compared them to my small levi's denim jacket. I'm 6'1 145 and waver between small and xs for uniqlo.

>>6784407
isn't it selvedge denim or something?

correct me if i'm wrong

>>6784412
How does the length ever suit you?

>>6784422
long legs and short torso

>>6784282
I would like to say a big fuck you to this board for making the ma-1 sell out in my size, just a day after it came out. (in black)

>>6784429
The whole internet is posting about it. Big thread over at MFA, for instance. I wanted a black XS but was too slow.

>>6784431
Do you know how long it will take to restock? I might get the mountain parka in black if it takes too long.

>>6784437
No clue. Uniqlo can be slow but I reckon it won't be that bad with it just becoming F/W. I'm considering getting a mountain parka too, hah.

>>6784358

>resistant to both oil and water

>>6784456
fuck, now I really want that parka

What are the stretch jeans like for someone who has Auschwitz mode legs

>>6784440
one more question. If I get the ma-1 in black, should I get the mountain parka in beige or black? I'm horribly colorblind, so I try to do mostly and grey/black and some simple browns and blues, but I am drawn to the mountain parka beige. Should I cop?

Gap quality for H&M prices

>>6784464
They're both nice and equally versatile. The beige will fit into a mostly monochrome wardrobe just fine.

>>6784475
thanks anon. Probably going to cop right now.

>>6784317
Thanks man.

I'm 6'0 165, should I get a medium?

>>6784494
look at the measurements

>>6784390
dunno about the price range, but they are shit

Since black is all out, how is the dark brown? I need a brown jacket but the uniqlo one looks far too dark. Granted, I bought a medium blue hoodie from there and it turned out to be much brighter

>>6784555
it looks maroon on my monitor. i would wait for the black to go back in stock. i heard rumors that itll be tomorrow or thursday

Just brought a jacket from a thrift shop branded uniqlo, it only costs less than $1 tho. Lucky me,

I know thereve been like at least 3 people that have copped the parka, can someone post a fit already?

>>6784572
which colour is right

>>6784572
once i get it in the mail ill post one

>>6784390
i really like them

Im thinking about copping the mountain parka. Does anyone know how they fit? Im 155 lbs 5'11" and i wear a small for their ocbds but dont know if i should get a small or xs for the parka. Thanks

Did anyone cop the reversible parka? Mine's coming in tomorrow, kinda feel like I should've gotten the mountain one

>>6785024
I was just in the store the other day. I don't like the feel of the mountain one and it really isn't too different from the plain cheap one. The reversible one is also weird but really not a bad choice. The sweatshirt-y stuff on the inside seemed kinda thin and I thought the stretchy bits on the sleeves/abdomen was kinda weird. Really not bad though, but I just got the plain ole cheap one because that's all I needed.

I love their cashmere sweaters but I've never had any other brand to compare them to

fags released a much better version of the bomber i already copped and its padded and there are 3 colours and the zips are better and now i have to buy that too

also the parka i wanted is thin and fits like shit

im v upset as u can see

Any other UKfags get the checkout keep fucking up recently? Couldn't cop what I wanted ;_;

>>6786442
I just copped the old black bomber from User cause I thought I wouldn't be able to find it.
Oh well I didn't know. Not too fussed about padding anyway.

So how's that new ma-1 /fa/? I'll be away when it arrives but if no one posts a review of it then I will on like tuesday.
>tfw I bought the down jacket for snow but now realised it wouldn't even help that much if I layered properly and looks weird
Hopefully it isn't too late to return it

>>6786442
Searched bomber in the site and don't see it. Is it called something else?

>>6786513
just have a look in the casual jackets section

i only cop an oxford from them and it turnt to shit

i wanna get some smart trousers in black but they are sold out

>>6786513

dumb fuck

>>6786519
Thanks
>>6786525
Thanks

Is it acceptable to wear a hoodie under a bomber? If so, what color hoodie would go nicely it?

>>6787502
pls respond

>>6786442
wtf is fags
i'm so confused i need a bomber

>>6786442
sorry for being a fag but whats fags?

>>6787502

>>6788581
>>6788565
>>6786442
pls respond

>>6785024
>>6785098
I got the reversible, since I spent about a month prior looking for both a reversible hoody and a beater windbreaker, and then out of nowhere Uniqlo does me on both.

A few notes:

- The simple product illustration pictures don't look exactly much like it. The relative proportions look off, somehow. The waistband is thicker, more like an MA-1. The pictures of the guy wearing it up now look right.

- It's not a "parka," hot that you'd expect it to be. Uniqlo calls things parkas like it calls them leggings. It's exactly as thick as you'd imagine a thinnish sweatshirt with a thin windbreaker over it would be, except they're sewn together. Presumably the air pocket between them insulates a little, but seriously. Good for layering.

- There's independent pockets on both sides, which is useful.

- Scuba hood. Very deep - it'll cover my head with fabric to spare, which a lot of hoodies don't. (I've got a huge skull and a lot of hair.)

- All the detailing looks more pronounced, especially and nicely the bordering around the pockets on the hoody side. The bizarre little ring of the outer cuff color on the inner cuff is noticeable; don't think you'll overlook it.

All in all, satisfied. I wish the hoody side had nicer fabric, and I wish it had a DWR (it doesn't seem to) and taped seams, but it's $30. More realistically, I wish the windbreaker layer was ripstop.

>>6787502
Hoodies are acceptable under anything these days. With good reason, they're practically an urban uniform.

>>6788737
And don't worry about the color, beyond basic coordination.

My grail hoody probably isn't anything special, but I saw someone on the subway one time with a thin one that was dark charcoal heather with the slightest but definitely noticeable forest green tint. It wasn't the Reigning Champ one; it was even subtler than that. Fabric looked cheaper, too, but the colorway was so great.

Probably will never figure out what it was.

>>6788737
>hot that you'd expect it to be.

Hah, *not.

>>6788565
>>6788581
>>6788651
pls some1 what is fags?

>>6788737
Thanks for the review. Might cop one, might not. Depends what else they bring out later.

>>6788800
"fags" is referring to "the people working at Uniqlo". Guy that said it was upset because Uniqlo released a new jacket today.

I NEEEEED them to bring back there wool pants. I'm tired of wearing chinos/jeans for pants.

copped the last navy ma1 in small Lel

the ma-1 looks like shit irl
just so u know

Is it too late to cop the mountain parka in black or will they restock sometime?

>>6788800
cigarettes

>>6788927
>proud of being a dirty little manlet
Lel

>>6790765
>Not wearing the smallest size in everything
Fuck off you fat piece of shit

>>6784494
5'11 150 here, getting a small but it will barely fit around my shoulders. You should probably get a M.

>>6788927
>copping the worst color

why.jpg

Neither height or weight are good indicators whether you need a bigger or smaller sized piece of clothing

Just look at the website's measurement table and measure yourself or just go try it on

>>6784429
Pls don't cry over a £30 MA-1. If I don't like it and I sell it then tell me you were the guy that was crying and i'll give you priority.

>>6784329
Their T's are a lot fucking slimmer than, say, Am Appy - which is about the same quality but more expensive

>tfw uniqlo doesn't ship to Aus

how slim are uniqlo slim OCBD's?

Because I've bought slim shirts before for the price that fit like boxes

UNIQLO is a five minute walk from where I live. Convince me to take pictures of and describe items you want.

>>6791812
pls go take a picture of the hoodies and sweaters they have. take a picture in the dressing room so we can all see how they fit/look

pls anon. some of us don't have a uniqlo in our city :^)

pretty good quality, but the sizes are slightly too large than what i find in the uk, so if you're a manlet like me you might have trouble

>>6791823
I owned a regular zip hoodie from uniqlo, and it was pretty much the best hoodie i've ever owned. Pretty heavy for its price and the material was soft as fuck. Had to give it to my gf because i was wearing it too much. If you want a hoodie, uniqlo is the place to go.

it's surprisingly good quality for the price. Apparently Uniqlo doesn't focus on investing in a diversity of fabrics for mass production, but produces the same few fabrics in big quantities, which allows them to focus on increasing the quality of the set amount materials instead of just producing a plethora of new fabrics at an unwearable quality (H&M, Zara, etc).

That said it doesn't beat out designers that'll cost you a little extra.

>>6792577
this but make sure you get the right hoodie. there are some butt naked thin ones for the same price.

>>6791805
p slim but MAYBE size down. Like I wear small shirts and got some xs slim ocbd which are almost a bit too tight. the small looked too big in the dressing room though.

>>6784390
Get real jeans. Their merino wool sweaters are good but they're thin, so they work well with layering. Even if you get literally everything else from Uniqlo, get some nice jeans.

copped one of their slim oxfords, really like the fit plus feels like a nice quality

steal at £14.90

>>6788927
Ha! got it in extra small.

>>6792692
>make sure you get the right hoodie. there are some butt naked thin ones for the same price.

which is which?

pls help

>>6792577
thanks, homie. I'm 5'11, should I get a medium then?

>>6792749
you just don't want the 'light weight' ones.

>>6792718
Was thinking of copping, what kind of body do you have, I'm a hungry skeleton and most shirts i try are too baggy in the arms.

>>6792781

twinkcore manlet, wear an XS from everywhere, uniqlo oxfords are like v. slightly baggier on me than a XS from topman (decent yardstick I suppose?) + slightly longer in the body, still a nice slim fit though, although if you really are a #nxtlvl skeleton they could be a little baggy on you I suppose

still I'd say its worth risking 15 quid on

>>6792844
Yeah I'll go for it thanks man.

>>6792776

thanks bby :^)

>>6786419
How thick are the sweaters. I'm thinking about coping one but they look a bit thin

why is everyone copping the ma-1? the fuck?

I'm 5'11 and 126 lbs and I copped the S ma-1. Did I fuck up? Should I have gotten a XS instead?

>>6792971
>thin
yep

>>6793195
I'm 6 foot and 124 pounds, I could never fit into an XS.

>>6792692
Which are the thin ones?

TBH, I like thin hoodies. I've got real outerwear for staying warm, and I wear hoodies for layering/privacy/etc.

How are the slim fit jeans?

>>6793220
the thin ones are the ones that say "thin" on them.

use ya fucking head

how thin are we talking for the extra fine merino crew necks? like, clearly-see-the-shirt-below thin? thinking of copping black to wear with OCBDs

>>6792971
the crewneck cotton ones aren't and neither are the cashmere ones.

The wool ones are stupid thin tho

>>6784374
Oxfords + chinos won't be overdressed and anyone who would say so is not worth listening too. Blazer may come across as overdressed especially if you are just getting into fa I will assume it will be fucked. I'd say get the basic down, solid colors, oxfords, chinos, shoes a step up from shitty ass new balance running shoes then work from that solid base.

Blazer would be weird in class unless you were a really well put together individual but on like a date or something it probably wouldn't be weird.

>>6784374
cheetos are fucking bomb, yo, the fuck else you gonna eat when you're drunk in your dorm at 3am.

>>6784300
how are the oxfords cut?
are they very hourglassy?
i can tell you that asos oxfords are

>>6784300
>cropped chinos
god damn /fa/
you guys always tell me to go to uniqlo for cropped chinos but they don't have any in black, not to mention they have no solid colors at all right now

where else can i look?

>edit:
i think i might get some old chinos from pacsun tailored
what's an appropriate height for cropped trousers?

How are Uniqlos belts? My dirt-cheap belts are falling apart and I want to have one that will last a while

>>6793864
Pick whatever chinos you want and take them to a tailor.

How do you buy pants there? They only have waist size.

>>6794872
The inseam is all 34. In the NYC stores you can get them hemmed for free

whats the difference between the packaged basic Ts and the premium ones

>>6794691
i got the nonstitch one for 7 i think. good enough.

>>6793253
It's not really thin enough to see through but it's fucking thin. I'd say it was almost as thin if not, thinner than my H&M t-shirt.

FUCK WE NEED ONE OF THESE IN CANADA

I'm 6'1" with a 36" chest and 30" waist. Which size MA-1 should I get when it restocks?

>>6795064
They have a size chart at the uniqlo site.

>>6795083
Yeah but I don't know if an extra small will be too short. I hate not being able to try clothes on before buying them

>>6795064
According to the size chart, if you're 36" chest and 30" Waist, then it's perfect for you to get a S. Infact, there are still some S for black ma-1 left. 3 left, I suggest you go get them.

>>6795012
I know man, when I first started browsing here I saw this neat place where I could cop some basics but nope nvm

>>6795114
thanks man

>>6784406
I copped this blouson
I'm 5'7 and an xs fits fine

>>6795192
No probs, just helping out a fellow anon.

Jesus christ the small black bombers already sold out in one day

is uniqlo going to be coming out with another parka?

>>6795647
they did

search the mountain parka, its water and oil proof

>>6795671
yeah it's great. i wear it cooking. spilled a bunch of oil on my arm cooking last night and was bone dry!

>>6795689
uniqlo is made for cooking

>>6795671

what's the best color for the parka

>>6795705
that's like, subjective, man

is uniqlo coming out with a fishtail parka this season or is this it?

>>6795764
we are just going into fall, its still august.

This is def the beginning; apparently they are collabing with some norwegian designers for some warm clothes.

Copped pic related and really like it, looking to cop another print chambray shirt. Trying to get some variety before I leave NYC, I like blue too much, any others I should get?

>>6795951
can you tell me how the cut and fit is?
are the shoulders wide at all? that's what gets me. can you relate the fit to asos at all?

Is the mountain parka for sale I'm their US site yet?

>>6796303
lol
