Uniqlo +J: An Embarrassment Of Riches

Stretch Cotton Broadcloth Shirts
I was so impressed with the Uniqlo +J collaboration that we went three times and bought quite the haul. I'm going to have to break it down into several posts.
Let's start with the shirts. They are all slim fit and have working gauntlet buttons.
The stretch cotton broadcloth solids are 97% Cotton and 10% Lastol. Lastol (DOW XLA) is a premium stretch fiber from Dow used for non-iron shirts by Brooks Brothers and other manufacturers looking for shape retention and a bit of stretch. I chose Navy, Dark Purple and Dark Brown. They are extremely comfortable with amazing color saturation---perfect for under a blazer or cardigan and they even came with collar stays.
The two denim shirts in Charcoal and Navy are 100% Cotton--sort of an updated working man aesthetic with button down collars---they have a subtle elegant sheen. More casual than the broadcloth, but not so much so that I wouldn't wear them with a blazer--even more fitted than the broadcloth.
Finally, the check twill 100% Cotton flannel shirt is ultra soft with a subtle nap in a sophisticated palette of Black and Grey with Sky Blue accent---again, a working man look updated with a modern fit and traditional button down collar. I would wear this in the same situation as the denim shirt--a bit more casual, but not exactly lumberjack material.
All of the shirts cost an amazingly low $39.50 USD.
Update: I returned and found a Black Broadcloth shirt in my size for a total of 7! New shipments seem to arrive daily, so it is not too late to get your own +J.
