Re: Opinions on Uniqlo jacket, please!
I've tried these on. Liked them too! They have functioning cuffs if that does anything for you.
You'll want the medium. They sizing was alright. The fit a little off maybe. Certainly fuller than the Keydge. But for £30 that's a great summer jacket.

Re: Opinions on Uniqlo jacket, please!
Theyre not that good in my view...the three button they did a few years back were decent, I stumbled over on in a chazza last year and was pleasantly suprised by it...the current jackets they have are a shadow of that..saying that if you like it then why not? I wouldn't kid yourself that they're anything other than a current fashion jacket, the cut is really contemporary

In the photos above, there's something that feels off to me about the lapels. The notch looks pretty high, for one thing.

Re: Opinions on Uniqlo jacket, please!
I bought the seersucker suit. The colour avoids the Miami vice twat look. Odd pleated elasticated trousers but jackets fine. A bit different from the Ivy standard but have given up looking for the perfect seersucker suit. Would be easier to find the holy bleedin Grail so I'd go for it. Not bad at all and working cuffs.

Didn't see the trousers, Single Uncles. Really bad?
I bought a black Lemaire/Uniqlo polo shirt that's pretty bitchin'. Three button placket, no band cuffs and tennis tails. Refined looking!...

Re: Opinions on Uniqlo jacket, please!
Well just about wearable but only when I'm feeling very good about myself which is rare. A bit narrow for me, small turn up with just about an OK rise. The pleats I don't mind but the elasticated waist oh dear. Always thought I'd be 70 before I hit this sartorial low point. Damn practical though and no need for the trouser waist extender.

Thanks fellas, I think The Uncles is right... Finding the right seersucker is tough... Especially if you want grey stripes... I am very near to go for it...

Re: Opinions on Uniqlo jacket, please!
P.S. looks like - based on the measurements - Small should fit better (shoulders and sleeve length)... ???

Re: Opinions on Uniqlo jacket, please!
Those jackets look fine to me. I'd get one if they were 3-button. I have the same one OCBD talked about in his blog a couple years back: http://oxfordclothbuttondown.com/2013/05/summer-jacket-uniqlo-premium-linen-jacket/
Size M and it fits me (40) pretty well. Little too high button stance. I'd rather have the 3/2 roll then the sack front, personally. If I have to choose.
I do love the three patch pockets, though... On second thought I'd probably snag one of those new Uniqlos if I weren't trying to downsize right now.

Was just in Uniqlo. I was wrong. You definitely want the small. It has a little too much in the chest and the sleeves are too long but it's still a good jacket for £29.
I bought some James Dean chambray jacket thing from Lemaire/Uniqlo. Very "cool".

Re: Opinions on Uniqlo jacket, please!
All that stuff arrived... and it fits very well. Everything. The biggest surprise was the chambray, that is fucking cool and really good quality! T-shirt is pique cotton, very good. Shorts are really nice with an ok-rise, not too high but ok... good fit, very nice details and cloth!
Seersucker looks very good, in the back it is slightly too roomy (no problem, minimal alteration). Lightweight as hell, just what I wanted. I didn't realise that it is two button, hahaha. But it can be converted to a 3/2 roll easily, dunno if I am going to do it... For the price unbeatable.
Gonna blog about it in the next couple of days!

Re: Opinions on Uniqlo jacket, please!
The Gingham looks pretty good and that price with functional buttons, as you say Lear "unbeatable"!
What about the sizes, would a Large equate to a 42L/44 or would you need to go up to an XL?
Thanks.
