Devin, Andy and guest Leslie Price (co-founder of Gloria) discuss Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo after a cold, cold open. Is Uniqlo’s Lifewear catalog a pretty decent magazine? Does the Uniqlo checkout, whether conscientiously handing back a credit card, or utilizing RFD tags, indicate a considered peak of customer service? Is a flagship a different store, essentially? Can an app’s sizing tech ever approach an actual changing room? Has Uniqlo digested Prep values—from Take Ivy to The Official Preppy Handbook to J. Crew—and created a superlative version of the style? Is their website confusing, or is any problem likely with the user? What is the right way to pronounce Uniqlo??
