edit: actually that is for a +J blazer. havent tried non +J blazers. but i have other uniqlo casual jackets that are medium.



cool, thanks guys, i figured i'd probably be a medium.

would really like to try it on first, but there's no uniqlo near me. i could always buy one and return it if it doesn't fit.

I have these, friend picked them up on a trip to Korea/ Japan for like $20 They are good to throw on to bum around but I wouldn't say they are worth the hassel to go find.

I wear 31 in Uniqlo denim. 32 in Levi 511's. Normally 32-33.
Size 1, try sizing 2 if its not to bad. Denim's pretty stretchy.

has anyone used uniqlo's "dri-fit" stuff? I might just snag a whole bunch of tees for the gym if they're significantly better than hanes cotton tees

I sized down one on the raw MIJ S002s. Worked well for me. Not sure about the other cuts/washes/fabrics.

it's only a hassle if you live in the sticks.
