Picked up these Loden green DBs. Loving them. Even nicer in person.

What are essential norm core pieces? Light wash jeans, monotone hoodies, a long coat, and what else?

I'd also include a cap, like Ebbets or Norse Projects. May be a bit more streetwear but still comes to my mind when I think normcore. http://41.media.tumblr.com/e70807be5a082a16cd8671c1cf26d1e9/tumblr_muxsflXIpC1r3ccrro1_1280.jpg

Do you already have one in camel? If so, care to post some pictures? 

Color is spot on to the below. I highly recommend it, especially as these current ones have a thicker 90% wool / 10% cashmere comp.

If you're looking for something a bit different and unique, cop the grey plaid one. I have a total of 3 Uniqlo chesterfields (camel, navy, black) from various seasons and have been wearing them hard for years (rain / snow). They're still holding up well.

OT: This girl rocking the Uniqlo women's camel coat well too. Cop one for your girl so you can stunt together.

Thanks for the response. I think I will end up getting it, it fits well with my style (basically normcore, if we even consider that a real thing) and will be a more mature piece that I can use after college. They have a little discount right now too I believe. It fits like most other Uniqlo items I'm assuming? I go TTS with them in everything but T shirts.

No problem, fam. Yeah, it's a pretty classic piece.

Uniqlo has sizing charts on each of their product pages. Check it out. With the $15 off, you scoop this up for $135 w/ free shipping; not bad.

Is this the uniqlo joint

Not sure how that fit is functional

 

[tomdiginson]

I think you have to size up in it. I read somewhere that it fit similar to the Unilqo Jil sander top coat from last year and that jack fit small.

 

[shogun]

Dude is wearing leggings.

 

[pinoy732]

yep. I had to size it to a Large from my normal medium

more so because of chest

Yep, just a reference fit pic of the coat from IG. I personally had to size up for layering purposes.

@Pinoy732 -- you cop it?

 

[pinoy732]

Haven't made that decision yet. just tried on in stores. Large works in chest but I'll drop another $100 on alterations else where.

If I cop, it wouldn't be the only topcoat id need for winter. likely will source a SuSu joint as well for the office.

 

[hennessy]

^What alterations would you make? I'm not used to wearing coats like this. Haven't really tried mine on yet. Will have to take a fit pic and see if it fits properly soon.

Edit: I see all the Asian hypebeasts with this haircut now. Even the pedestrian in the back got it

 

[jon4rd]

What is an avg price that a tailor charges to get the sides of a shirt taken in? Trying to make sure I don't get ripped off

 

[blaz3n]

Interested in some of these. Release date is September 29th. Online and in stores.

Is there a place to find out what stores will carry it? I don't believe all stores carry the collection, correct?

Aware me.

GAP should list them all on their website.. there's a couple things I like too..

hopefully 40% jig works with the early link drop like last year so we can feast

Bro, if you going to invest another $100 on a $170 jacket, you might as well put another $50-$100 and get a better coat.

My kinda fit

Mine is way more severe. I got the douche hawk running.

At least according to the haircut thread.

What kind of alterations would you drop on the coat?

I see shortening sleeves, but that looks big on you (see the shoulders). You try sizing to medium and seeing how that fits?

 

[pinoy732]

I did and it doesn't fit on my shoulders. arms protrude far too much.

large is the only that remains flush but the arm would need a taper, sleeves shortened, and waist somewhat suppressed.

 

[pinoy732]

this is one of those situations where you buy based on how it fits on chest/shoulders.

lotta you cats might end up with say a medium because it requires less work in other areas but if it does not fit in the chest, it simply does not fit.

edit:

but that looks big on you (see the shoulders).

Where do you see it being big on the shoulders? I do not have shoulder divots from the inner lining sticking past my natural arm line. If you look on my left side (photo right) you can actually see my shoulder/arm extend past the shoulder.

No, a camel overcoat is a staple in Menswear. I don't know about streetwear though
