I’d say the pull is correct for an Italian jacket. The high button stance would be the bigger issue, though it’s not terrible. Definitely takes this brand out of my 6’3 range, though. Agree, the mild-roping looks stellar, a bit more powerful.

"Powerful" is precisely the word I was looking for.

The “Tag Along” Posts shall refer to the topics that are trending on Twitter currently; I shall choose one and write up a post, how ‘bout it?

~I can’t possibly enlist every single thing that pleases me, so let me just pick one! I love going on adventures: finding new places, discovering beauty in places most people wouldn’t take a second look at, and assigning it a name based on what my heart is seeing, as opposed to what is ordinally seen. Thus, in 2011, I found the “Enchanted Forest”, “Moon Walk Park”, “Magical Night Spot”, and “Winter Wonder Lights”.

The first place is a local park, but for the most part untouched by modern renovations and still holds an old world charm. The second place is a playground adjacent to a middle school; the best time to go there is on a full moon night, all the lights are turned off so you can truly enjoy the celestial charm. The third place is a Vegas-like ground-floor fountain, [how exactly can I describe this? =$], though much smaller in scale. I imagine musical beats, but maybe it’s just the noisy pumps =P, and the water shoots up from the ground rhythmically. It’s wonderful, and many people I’ve introduced this place to, today are fans. The last place is a park with about 50 trees, all adorned in Christmas lights during the Holiday season; to my movie-lover eyes it reminds me of a gorgeous Bollywood set erected for a lavish song-&-dance celebration.

They’re also willing to accept a shirt you like, take your comments of what you’d like to change, then copy it with those changes. I’ve not taken them up on it yet, though. How big was the collar? I’ve been meaning to ask them, Brooks size?

Didn't know about that "send a shirt" thing.

Any word on the quality?

No.

But every impression I get from Uniqlo is that quality on their goods is very, very good for the prices they're offered at. For example, Esquire's Nick Sullivan recently called their +J wool flannel suit the best suit he's ever seen under $1000.

Winston Chesterfield also sang the praises of Uniqlo recently. Check out the comments for insight from an Uniqlo employee on how they source their fabrics.
