got my box of uniqlo purchases... pretty disappointed but there are some gems.
Socks are ok. They're socks. But for $6 more you can get those happy socks or other alternatives that will feel way better. 

I figured the belt would feel cheap, and I wasn't wrong. 

The t shirts were the highlight as they're only $6 and feel pretty good. Size small fits perfect on a medium frame but cut really short, Medium is big and baggy but might shrink after washing. In any case I ind of like them more than everlane, especially for the price. 

I feel different on these particular points.

Socks: Happy socks are garbage as stated elsewhere. They don't hold up very well at all.

Belts: I've had two since they opened in Soho (NYC) and they both feel cheaper than other belts that I have and it's tough to get a good size on them since they don''t do it by waist size.

T-Shirts: I think you're better off with American Apparel on this one, but there is a price difference in the two.

They label their sizes differently here than everywhere else. Asian S = our XS. Although if it fits, I can't see why it'd matter to you whether or not you had to size down anyway


everything is longer too.

does anyone happen to have measurements for a 33 or a 34 in the slim cords? thanks



I'd like this too


Pretty sure Uniqlo does the specific sizing for the items on each page. Just check their measurements.


Edit: just realized they aren't on the website (from what I can tell)

because the size on the label matters apparently

Regarding heattech sizing, I think if you're wearing it solely as an under layer you should go TTS. But I wear my heattech on its own sometimes on brisk days (I live in Cali) and I sized up one. I'm a typical M across the board, but for heattech I go for an L and it fits near perfectly. Of course, I don't get the skin tight fit that some people were talking about earlier in the thread. It fits more like a normal t would. My heattech has also been through multiple washes and it doesn't really stretch or shrink all too much. Really good buy though.

Heattech is TTS. And I find Japanese sizing way better for me, M in US - XL in Japanese. It's more shruken so length is better for me

For heattech wear large normally and sized up to x-large for a regular shirt fit. It's a bit longer and a touch looser than their regular large t's, but I didn't want a baselayer fit.
