Am I the only one who thinks the linen shirts fit TTS? Pretty much same fit as my flannels, oxfords, and chambray of the same size.

Like I said earlier, if you took a L or whatever in the flannels take a L in the linens (or rather, whatever matches your typical shoulder size). I sized down for both cos I like my shirts fitted.

I just got mine and I went with an xs and it fits well. I'm a 36 too. If it helps I take the same size in the slim oxfords.

Are any of the current navy Blazers decent?

Linen-cotton blazers are really good. I find the cut very slim, I'd say XS is more like 34 or slim 36. But yeah, fit like slim oxfords. Wish they had more colors.

New thin oxfords are too thin--hoping they haven't cheaped out on their only decent shirts & bring back beefy cloth for fall. Denim, chambray all too thin.

LS linen shirts not as rough as SS, maybe LS too, from last year, & decent.

Do the cotton-cashmere sweaters pill? Had trouble resisting the softness.

Can't speak to the pilling of the cotton/cashmere (just got mine) but i can't help but comment on how thin this thing is. thinner than a t shirt.

Linen shirts are no good. Washed once (no dry) and it is already "fuzzy" - lots of threads coming out.

would someone with the skinny denim mind measuring the leg opening? for some reason it's the one measurement not listed on the sizing charts.

If you search the thread there are some data points. A couple months ago someone said about 7" for a size 30 or 31.

Anybody own the dry comfort blazer?
How does it look irl, I find uniqlo stuff to look really cheap which I wouldnt mind for some stuff but not a blazer. I can not find a Barena in black so this might be my only option.

Uniqlo sells barena? link?

 

[ChetB]

:/

 

[Dbear]

I wouldnt consider the dry easy jacket to be any sort of lower cost replacement for barena

Are there any reviews on Uniqlo blazers? How does it compare to Gap, BR, Jcrew and the other ubiquitous mall brands.

Also, why is the all-cotton blazer and blended cotton blazer priced similar at $69.99. Wouldn't the all-cotton blazer offer better quality at the same price point?

Yeah the linen shirts are pretty true to size. The biceps were ridiculously tight for me so I'll have to return.

Not really. The materials just will have different qualities.

 

[Meis]

Blend does not = shittier quality, just like 100% cotton or 100% wool doesn't mean something will be nice.

Thanks for the inputs, much appreciated. Are uniqlo blazers comparable to Gap and BR, and to an extent, Jcrew as well.
