Not quite as exciting but still pretty good is the chino shorts they got on at 20 quid hopefully they'll drop down a bit in the mid season sale

I did see him once get physically removed from the high street ken branch. To be fair it is hard to find the changing rooms there

Anyone bought anything in Uniqlo recently? I bought their  EXTRA FINE MERINO KNIT LONG SLEEVE POLO SHIRT & was really pleased.
But I wondered if anyone had seen the TOMAS MAIER 100% SUPIMA COTTON SHORT SLEEVE T-SHIRT ?
Sorry I don't know how to post a picture.

i like navy...

Nah, it’s a regular fit.

You’re welcome.

Good spot, Woof. Picked up one of these last week. Nice full cut too, which isn't always the case with Uniqlo.

I was in the Kingston branch at the weekend and in answer to the OP:

Chinos. - a couple of members on here have mentioned them. Quite a relaxed and fulsome cut in the ‘classic’ fit with what appears to be a reasonable rise. Quality is acceptable for a very reasonable thirty five quid. On offer in a couple of shades of khaki, navy, olive and taupe.

5 pocket twill jeans, again with what looked like a sensible waist height, various colours but the one that caught my eye was a stone/cream colour.

Cord trousers - similar cut to the chinos and in some classic colours, stone, burgundy, navy, chocolate brown.

Overcoats - raglan sleeves Balmacaan style, slash pockets and in an almost suspiciously similar cut to the current JS offering. About 4 colours on display which were in a pretty grim velour type cloth, except a dark navy Melton type cloth in which the coat actually looked pretty good, especially for £99.

Raincoats - again Balmacaan style, looked good and well priced.

That’s all I had time for really as Mrs Flat was wanting to move on. Nothing there I needed, but quite heartening that Uniqlo are again doing ‘Ivy on a budget’, it would certainly be a place to look at if you are starting out and wanting to build up a basic wardrobe with limited funds and aren’t too pedantic about where stuff is made.

I took a look at the overcoats online, they look good, could have saved myself £500 if I'd bought one of these rather than a JS ! But I'm sure there's a gulf in the quality.. well I hope so.... !

Interesting, never looked at the Uniqlo chinos in earnest, just thought they would be crotch and ball breaking too tight and high mast for me. As JFM use to say, he would never spend good money on chinos as they were only ever one red wine spill away from ruination.

Bought an Aran jumper from Uniqlo last month with just the right blend of acrylic/polyester/real wool mix to be hopefully, moth attack proof. Noted the 100% wool equivalent elsewhere are in the €399+ zone. I paid €39.90.

I bought 2 pairs of the chinos at half price and paid £7 each to have them shortened.
Spendthrift-Uniqlo now offer a free alterations on trousers costing over £20. Not sure if all stores offer this service but it might explain why the trousers all come in a 34 inch length
