Uniqlo T-000 Skinny Raw Denim (Review)

From the famous Uniqlo brand (esp. on their price), making me want to see their jeans. Lastly, I got a pair of indigo jeans with yellow thread to make a review.



Start with the front and back whole views. This model is T-000 Skinny fit tapered jeans but not too tight.



Getting closer, to see the details obviously.
The denim weight is around 9-10 oz. It’s quite soft fabric with 3-5% stretch for added comfort. In my view, it is a bit too soft for long-term usage.

Its back patch was made from regular genuine leather with simple debossed model code.


Fit style on woven label


See their sewing quality, I think it is slightly higher than average level.



Uniqlo logo on button and zip, but no logo on rivet head


Let’s see inside details
They used black pockets and standard aluminum rivet nail without logo.


Inside sewing quality is fine.


Labels


At the middle of crotch


The side seam was made by overclock and chain stitch machines which made the jeans more durable but looked quite messy. Its leg opening used a single chain stitched hem.

Altogether, I think the total quality of this jeans is on a little higher than standard level but still go under other premium jeans brands. However, from their price, I’m not surprise why they are so popular now.

    I don't know when this review was made or when these Uniqlo jeans were purchased, but the quality has gone MUCH higher still - which goes right against convention for brands increasing in popularity (they usually seek to lower costs and the quality takes a hit). I own 2 pairs of their raw selvedge line. One pair is made in China of 9/10oz Japanese denim from Kaihara's mill, and the other pair is from the premium 'All Made in Japan' line, using heavier 15oz Kaihara. The stitching on the Chinese pair is equal to the Japanese pair (excellent)...the only differences are the weight of fabric and the 'All Japan' have a button fly. They cost £29.99 and £49.99 respectively. And to be totally honest, as long as they continue produce jeans of this quality, at these prices, my days of buying premium £200 jeans are officially over. I'd feel a total mug spending £200 on Nudie now. What's the point? A showy bit of stitching on the back pockets?
