I just received an e-mail from Joseph (Operations/IT) at UNIQLO USA. He commented on my January column with:

When we first opened the flagship store in NYC, it did have a lot of the said canister packaged UT t-shirts, but that was not what we carried exclusively. We also had, as we do now, a large selection of fashion wear, cashmere, denim, and outerwear.

Just to avoid any confusion, the UT “canister shirts only” store I mentioned was initially in Japan.

I have no idea why I didn’t specify this in my article, as I visit UNIQLO SoHo quite frequently. Apologies for the error, and thanks for getting in touch, Joseph!
