UNIQLO and White Mountaineering

After two years or so, our collaboration with White Mountaineering is back! The fabric of this hooded fleece uses recycled polyester. The functional pockets, a staple of designer Yosuke Aizawa, are framed by a hybrid of boa fleece and sponge fleece in a modern 3D pattern. The drawstring at the hem ties it all together. Available in green (above), natural, brown, and black from mid-October.

The New Minimalism

Functional combinations are part of what makes layering fun. For outfits where a HEATTECH base layer is worn under a fleece or sweater, check out the new PUFFTECH parka, filled with a performance material jointly developed with Toray Industries. This padded outer layer combines lightness with next-level warmth. Rather than the usual quilt stitch, the minimalist sporty pattern has fused panels for a stitchless design.

Fluffy Vests are the Best

High-pile fleece, a perfect midlayer, instantly warms up any outfit. Because of the boxy cut, this vest makes for an interesting top layer over a sweater or hoodie. Most of all, it’s just as soft and fluffy as it looks. Great for wearing around the house on chilly days.

Marshmallow Wear

Touch this new down jacket and you’ll be amazed: the marshmallowy softness is so pleasant you won’t want to let go. The secret is the thin 30 denier fabric, specially designed by Toray Industries using NANODESIGN® technology. The fine-tuned texture is achieved by engineering the weave at the nano level. This jacket has an upright collar and wide quilted panels of premium 750* fill power down, locking in lightness and warmth.

There’s nothing like a knit hat to mark the start of winter. HEATTECH fibers provide certifiable warmth. This season, we’ve updated the blend for extra softness.

Chic Flannels

Out early October, these new button down shirts from Uniqlo U use soft flannel in understated plaids.
