Your my go-to person for Uniqlo product opinions. I just wish the store was closer in my area. It takes an hour each to and from to go there, so I have to resort to online purchases, which also is limited because many sizes or products are not in stock. :(
I think you'd love Abercombrie and fitch's clothes. They have a bunch of cropped stuff and things that look really good. Been meaning to buy some more of their stuff once i've done my cut. The uniqlo videos are great, not just for the info but they seem to do well in views. Especially now with summer upon us. Maybe do a "best shorts at Uniqlo?" video
Thanks for the rec, never bought from A&F but given their recent revival maybe it's finally time to... Uniqlo shorts don't really do it for me, I might do a vid on their polos or some other category, I think.
@@subtlesartorialist Yeah they've gotten a lot better..also less racist lol. I would agree mainly because its not my style. But the short chino shorts are solid.
Came up with a good idea for your channel. Sock materials and how differently they handle the heat. I feel like a lot of us hear about different materials, things like bamboo, polyester, cotton. But I have yet to see a practical test done with them to see who handles the heat the best.
The collar is too floppy for my liking, so not really wearable with jackets. By itself or over a t-shirt, I think it looks fine. Also feels pretty soft for a linen fabric.
@@subtlesartorialist Hey I just bought OCBD from muji and uniqlo! Before comparing, would like to say that in Australia (where I'm from) Uniqlo sizes one size smaller than Asia. So a Muji size XL = Uniqlo size L = what I bought. I also tend to size up on dress shirts to avoid the overly slim look. Some initial impressions, - Collar gap is bigger on the uniqlo. i.e. I think the collar fits a bit loose for me. Muji looks good. - Muji sleeve lengths is about 4cm shorter than the Uniqlo, but I prefer my sleeve lengths to reach the first knuckle of my thumb unbuttoned as this ensures the cuff won't pull away from my wrist when I bend my arms. - Armhole on Muji is way too massive but all these issues are what you get from saving money on RTW anyways.
Yeah hopefully Uniqlo will soon offer different lengths for their tops since they already offer short, regular and long lengths for some bottoms. Not sure what's the situation like in US tho...
@@subtlesartorialist Their tokyo store states on the wall, that they vary their exact measurements by country already. perhaps japanese have shorter arms
@@subtlesartorialist we're the same height and mine covers my entire butt and it made me look like wearing grandma's dress. any tips except on getting it tailored? no XS available in Philippine Uniqlo stores tho
Man that's unfortunate... I suppose that's the tradeoff with cheaper shirtmakers, though I've heard their RTW/MTO shirts are less inconsistent, if that's an option for you.

Your Uniqlo videos get so much more views. You should consider doing comparison videos where you measure Uniqlo against higher end brands offerings
yeah been thinking about that... any brands you'd like to see?

The only brand I know and wear is Uniqlo and H&M 😅 I’ll be the one learning from you instead
Great video, love how detailed your review is
Glad you liked it!

:(
Thanks for watching 🙏! If it's an option maybe you can try proxy shipping?
Where are those blue pants from? Looks so good with white shirt
Thanks, they're custom baker pants I got from Joe's Tailoring.
Can you help me with office outfits, if we can connect one one one pls
Sure :)
How would you determine the proper length for a sleeve? I've read on some sources it says to the first knuckle of your thumb when unbuttoned
I'd say it's a matter of taste, I like mine exactly where the wrist ends

Good idea! I especially like bamboo/rayon on my underwear/aloha shirts. Will have to check out bamboo socks one of these days...
@@subtlesartorialist I'm struggling with socks now that we're getting a good amount of heat here in Sweden.
what would you say is the best brands for Oxford shirts ?
Really depends if you're looking at refined/sartorial OCBDs or something more heritage inspired. Check out Spier & Mackay, Proper Cloth, Collaro, Mercer & Son, Gitman, Land's End, Drake's, Kamakura etc
@@subtlesartorialistJ.Crew is super classic too, but their quality might not be quite what it was 20 years ago.
On an unrelated note, how's their linen shirt?

Muji ocbd also good at this price range,its better than Uniqlo old version
Thanks, will have to check it out!

Good findings, thanks for sharing!
If i buy those from japan, the arms are too short in an L and i have to buy the xl. american one have a longer arm

Just shorter in general lol

I'd just tuck it in, they look better that way. Otherwise your local seamstress should be able to shorten it.
Spier and mackay are disappointing in quality and inconsistent sizing,I wasted money on their shirts and I can’t even wear them.

@@subtlesartorialist I have bought both RTW and MTO,both are disappointing.
