what is the sizing like on those GAP shirts? How does the xs compare to uniqlo?

notwithit · Apr 23, 2011

Somebody else is gonna hafta step up to the plate on that one. They say they're slim fit, and I'm operating under the assumption that a medium tall will fit ok once I get it darted.

The XS shirts are longer, both in body and sleeve length. EDIT: Probably not by much, but I had to get them tailored cos I'm a hobbit

Yea I'm pretty sure other people will think it looks OK but if I personally don't think I'd look good in them whats the point right?

Just to get an idea of what they'd look like worn:

That's the designer/maker of the shoes and he's ~5'10+.

At least no one said they look like woman's shoes (general consensus among all the people I know). Unless you all thought I was a girl? I've honestly seen a few girls wear this exact same design/material but I figure like Vans it's unisex more than anything.

A little further south. I see you're in SoCal too. More like near Huntington/Westminster area. Blah that'd be OC then. I used to live near the 91/605 and that was pretty much the dividing line between LA and OC.

Actually what I want to know is whether a grey pair like that would work. I love the look of it but want to make sure whether it would go with indigo jeans. About considering other brands, my mind is already set on Sperry, I love them, I already have 2 pairs (navy and ice). Beside, I can't afford more expensive brands and this seller sells Sperry for $45. Not too bad of a price I guess?
