Got an email from a reader named Igor who tells us he called Uniqlo in New York City to order some chinos for himself. The folks in the phone order department told him that as they prepare to open several new stores (in New York), they’ve shut down phone orders. A bummer, certainly… but the good news is that they also told him they’re planning on offering ecommerce as well. They wouldn’t give him a timeline, but word was they were expecting to open their huge US flagship store on 5th Ave in 2011, so, hopefully… soon?
