This collection looks good on-model and in the look book. Upon closer inspection, however, I am super disappointed by the heavy use of synthetics. A designer collaboration with heavy use of synthetics just doesn’t make sense to me. I’d be willing to pay a little more for much better quality natural materials and Uniqlo construction. It’s a pass for me on the majority of this collection. What a disappointment.
For outer wear I'm not too bothered about the material because I won't be making skin to skin contact with it. However for tops, generally I would prefer higher percentage of natural material. Adding in polycotton is often good because it helps prevent shrinkage in material, and adds structure to the garment.
That’s why you need to pay attention to the women’s section at uniqlo, their women’s collections are ALWAYS better quality and better fitting than the men’s stuff. On top of just having more options than the men’s section.
More and more uniqlo products are in synthetic materials. Gone are the days you can find 100% wool trouser or jacket. Reason is simple, Uniqlo need to make more money for Shareholder, store expansion & global purchase power are now slowing down, so cutting the material cost is the only way to go.
oh wow! Idk how this ended up on my feed but I watched it and only then glanced at your subscriber count and then went "oh! wow!" I would have thought you had many more subs. quality was great. wishing you best of luck with future videos. nice video
Sometimes synthetics is necessary to cut down cost and also helps with giving the garment structure. But I think anything more than 50% I need to really consider how the material feels before I comit to purchasing it!
@@kevinauyeung8 no synthetics literally destroy your testosrone its a fact . how dare you try to defend synthetic fibers wtf is wrong with you man . next your going to say we should eat processed food too
I agree. i used to not care that much about it but now in my 30s and having eczema, natural fabrics are what I am after. They help me not sweat as much and not rub as much on the akin. Although i notice some of my clothes pill easier. Those rough patches on cotton where fabric breaks, those still make my eczema flare. Maybe i’ll find the blend that’s better for eczema.
I think the polyfiber used by Uniqlo is decent in quality compared to other brands. A lot of people are diehard airsim fan (I’m personally not massive on it), but I think they’ve proven the quality through its popularity. For outerwear I’m fine with high plastic as long as it’s durable and great silhouette.
Oh shit...I hope you have the scarfs, cuz I love the size on them. Just wish it was less acrylic. (haven't started the video yet) The hoodie looks extra oversized so I'll be checking that out as wel.
I think there are some great scarfs from acne studios that are similar in design and better material. But the hoodie, I’m interested to see what the inside is going to feel like!!
@@kevinauyeung8 Acne do make some nice ones, but dropping 240-300 dollars on a scarf is something I cant justify. Since I only wear it for a few months out of the year. I bet the hoodie will be very similar on the inside to the Dry stretch hoodie. It's similar in feel to the airism oversized T on the inside. I use them at the gym.
I get you, I think the design from this collection is an attempt to set some staple pieces, like the Uniqlo U Tee and Airsim Tee. Gonna be interesting trying the pieces, I think they will be good base pieces to compliment statement pieces.
My countries will get this in mid Sept and we wont have the wool blend coat and the hooded coat, but we have a sneakers from Uniqlo C. In black or white and both will have suede on the front and the back.
@@kevinauyeung8 Indonesia haha. Bandung to be exact. Issa much colder city compared to the country average since it surrounded by hills but wearing both long coat is a sure shot of getting many stares or trainninh to getting accustomed to hell’s climate. Been in HK in winter ~15-16 degrees still make sense maybe?
@@kevinauyeung8 I couldn’t either, had them shipped to Australia. Just followed the sizing instructions, crossed my fingers, and fortunately they fit just right
@@kevinauyeung8 Wool Cashmere Chesterfield Coat from Uniqlo (thinner and more for spring/fall) then two from Herno. and two more from a Swedish small designer. All varies in length and colors. I think too many people default to just a black coat. I got natural, gray, navy and a lighter gray that's almost like a melange with white.
The boots do look fairly cheap to me. I'm a boot snob and I expect goodyear welt and things like a vibrum sole. It's $50 though so it kind of makes sense that they wont be great. I'm in a similar boat as you, i'm a 44.5 in shoes so find it odd that 43 is the cap. Especially since the average shoe size in Europe is 42-44. I'm only 5"9 but I can be a 45 in some shoes. You're basically screwed if you're 6 feet or taller.
Dark gray coat I will try on, but everthing else is a bit meh to me. But like everything it caters to a certain group. Just dont like the look of most of this collection
@@kevinauyeung8 Uniqlo has enough great base garments, I expected something more fashionable/elevated from a C collection. At least in materials, if not in silhouette/fitting.
I think they will be really good basics. Also have to factor in price because they are extremely affordable but have a look and feel of something more premium.

The syntetics maybe needed for the silhouette

Arr thanks. I only started a few months ago, really enjoying making videos! And justifies spending my money lol
Yeah, I'm also already excited for this drop. Looking forward to see your review 👍🏽😎
So many synthetics

Synthetics is fine as long as it have its purpose, beside cost cutting obviously

Very clean looks
Can't wait for the double face coat. Going to go for the brown since I don't have any.
they got a brown and a pattern version as well which I didn't mention in the video!
Hoodie and trousers got my attention as well.
Trousers look really good for me. I'm hoping the hoodie will have better inner lining!
I agree that I am excited that this is the first men's collection they have ever done but also disappointed with so much plastic being used.

@@Plague_Doc22 that’s true. Also… I keep losing them lol
@@kevinauyeung8 lol, i'm super organized with that stuff.
Love it my man!!
Thanks Mr. Kahn!
I'm not mad excited about anything in this collection tbh. Surprised they haven't included a longer coat for a winter collection.
I get you, I think the design from this collection is an attempt to set some staple pieces, like the Uniqlo U Tee and Airsim Tee. Gonna be interesting trying the pieces, I think they will be good base pieces to compliment statement pieces.
That was good. Thanks mate.
Glad you enjoyed it

Which country are you in? I live in London and Hong Kong, and there’s absolutely no need for the wool blend in Asia 🤣

For me 15-16 degree is sweater weather lol. Might have to get a VPN to check out the sneaker
Goral are fantastic, really enjoying my Muggs
My only issue is I can’t try before I buy :(
@@kevinauyeung8 I couldn’t either, had them shipped to Australia. Just followed the sizing instructions, crossed my fingers, and fortunately they fit just right
I don’t wear plastic, thanks
The chelsea boots aren't even coming to my country :(
That’s a shame. I think other brands do something similar anyway!
I like the simple designs but i'ma pass on the polyester and acrylic stuff. 🥴
disappointed about the boots. Been looking to snag a pair
It is a bit strange they stop at size 43.
Hi, do you know if there’s all the collection? I saw other trousers but maybe from the women’s collection.
The women’s collection has a wider range of products. I’m looking at the wide pleaded trousers and jacket on the womenswear.
I own like five coats so I'll be passing on those lol. the knit jacket does look interesting though. Could use something a tad more formal.
What coats you have??

Hey bro where'd you get your glasses and what's the name of the model?
They are from rayban. Not sure on the model, but I know cubitts do a similar design.

Yeah I’m not expecting anything incredible. We’re pretty much matching in size 👊😂
Bruh…. Goodyear welt? At Uniqlo lol. Doesn’t matter what collaborations they have they’re an amazing basics store. Nothing more nothing less
@@matthoffman6962 I'm not saying I expect it from them. I'm saying I expect it when it comes to me buying boots.
Dark gray coat I will try on, but everthing else is a bit meh to me. But like everything it caters to a certain group. Just dont like the look of most of this collection
That's fair, it's not for everyone. I'll be interested to see the silhouette compared to regular Uniqlo products.
@@kevinauyeung8 do you have a link to view the collection for men? on the site it only has the c collection for women in australia site. cheers
@@MrNathan1575 Try this one: www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/contents/collaboration/uniqlo-c/24fw/
What time is the release
Should drop tomorrow when stores open/morning on website. I don’t think you’ll need to rush as there should be plenty of stock
How did you attach the mic to your tshirt?
It’s got a magnet on the inside lol
Thomas Melissa Williams Sandra Johnson Mary
Anyone know if the hooded coat is waterproof?😊
Yeah it’s designed to be a rain coat type of outer coat 😀
How taller are you? And what size do you normally wear?
I’m 175. 80kg… though I’m 75 atm, had 2 months off exercise from a serious injury
Thoroughly underwhelming. Uninspired, uninteresting.
I think these will be great base garments to compliment your statement pieces.
@@kevinauyeung8 Uniqlo has enough great base garments, I expected something more fashionable/elevated from a C collection. At least in materials, if not in silhouette/fitting.
looks boring fit wise ngl
I think they’ll make good base pieces. Nothing is going to steal the show but they will compliment any statement pieces you might have!
tbh i don't see anything special
I think they will be really good basics. Also have to factor in price because they are extremely affordable but have a look and feel of something more premium.
