Uniqlo opened its first store in Hiroshima in 1984 and came to Britain in 2001; the pure cashmere jumpers, sold every winter at a price that undercut the department stores, are its best second-hand buy. The +J pieces with Jil Sander, 2009 to 2011 and again in 2020, and the Uniqlo U line with Christophe Lemaire are the ones collectors look for.
Does Uniqlo run small? Yes, Japanese sizing: most people take one size up. We list pit-to-pit and length on knits and waist and length on skirts, measured flat.
How do you check Uniqlo cashmere? Composition label, hand feel, pilling and any thinning at the elbows, photographed in daylight.
