I went medium, like I do with everything else Uniqlo, with both the v-neck and the crew. Compared to AA, Uniqlo is an extra ~2" longer.

I love the fit and feel of the tri-blend, too. Alt's fit is closer to the regular tees and not as slim as the tri.

Not that alt is blousey, just a bit "regular" than "slim."

Try small shirts. Uniqlo is notorious for not really having consistent sizing I think anyways. If I wear medium then they're definitely boxy, small works for a great slim fit. Undershirts are a different story though.

Too bad about sizing. When I was there last month there was hardly any Ms or Ss in most colors so I had to fit and dig just to get what I could. I'll keep that in mind when I go back in case I'm looking for some interesting colors.

I think I'm up to 20. Most wear these days is on the 2268s, Gordon Rush boots, and my blue suede Loakes. Once or twice a week I wear one of my dress shoes. I need to sell/trash a bunch of my ****.


hot sauce doesn't exist in japan, they can't handle anything that resembles spicy


sweet+spicy is the best combo ever. Luckily Korean fried chicken is that. Too bad it's pretty unhealthy. Funny **** is that whenever I go to any Korean place with spicy food, I'm eating as much as I can and the old ajumma will always ask if I will be ok and not die because they think white dudes can't eat anything spicy.


Unsurprisingly I like uniqlo's shirts the best. Comfortable and fit well.


I'm a big fan of "내내 chicken", it's boneless AND nyang-nyum, you can't lose. If they have them in Jeju, they definitely have them in Seoul. ****, I miss nyang-nyum so much

. You can only get bul-dalk here in China, but it's cheaper to fly to korea and eat it there.

uniqlo t-shirts have a nice fit for me. long, slim fitting, perfect shoulders, better than hanes, but muji t-shirts fabric is the best. my alternative apparel t-shirt fits way too short and the stitching started to unravel after two washes. someday i will cop w&h and n.hollywood

Yeah Muji is great, fits amazing too but they want 30 bucks a shirt. **** that. Muji is amazing though because it is about the only place in Korea to get decent shoe trees without spending 100k. I wonder who the hell buys them other than me though, looking at the shoes everyone else is wearing.

Haven't had quality issues from Alt after months of wear. Wears about the same as American if not better.

Do the shoes there all still have some kind of creasing/folds for no ******* reason?
