Haven't bought uniqlo in a while. I like their sweatshirts

>>11166210
Majority of clothing produced in 2016 is dogshit quality desu

the funny thing about quality is that when you speak of it on the internet, 9 out of 10 people aren't qualified to discuss it or have no idea what they're talking about

when someone says "quality is shit" or "quality has gone to shit", what do they mean? are they talking about the method of construction? the materials used to produce it? the longevity of the piece? are they speaking from anecdotal experience or parroting back hearsay? have they done any research or compiled any data with a sufficient sample size?

the answer, in all likeliness, is no.

you want to know about quality? i don't think you yourself know what you're looking, and you just want reassurance from someone on the internet that something is "good quality" without actually knowing what that means.

go to a store and feel the clothes yourself, form your own judgment. buy a piece and see how durable it is or long it lasts.

>>11166237
i don't have a store anywhere close to me so I'm just trying to save myself the hassle of an internet return

one of the last sweatshirts I bought from them, I wore through the elbow rather quickly (I never had this happen before on an article of clothing) but I still felt like I got my money's worth. If the quality has declined from that then I don't think it would be worth it.

I read numerous reviews online that stated their oxford shirts were getting thinner and had less buttons at the wrist, which is an obvious sign of cost cutting

That's all I can tell you. I don't know shit about this stuff, which is why I came to /fa/

>>11166210
They haven't even bothered pattern matching since at least 2013, so I doubt what you're seeing can be that significant a drop in quality compared to its usual standards.

Are suppima cotton tees still good?

>>11166365
Bought some a month ago. I like them. Haven't washed them yet so we will see how that goes.

>>11166237
You bring up a valid point anon
When I see a shirt from a new brand, I check the stitching before anything else, then try to get a feel for the fabric

No expert but honestly old 70s/80s U.S.A. made tees were quite well made

>>11166454
Im wearing one right now. It's fantastic and feels silky.

>>11166464
lol i always wonder what goes through a regular person's head when they check a t shirt's seams and just sees a chain from the overlock machine

North American brands keep the bar high

>>11166587
lol what do you think you just showed me?
explain that picture to me

>>11166589
lol that stitch is off the seam

>>11166589
I like flat stitching and almost never see it except on Canadian/American shirts

>>11166597
i know, and the backstitching at the armhole is terrible, as well as not snipped as low as possible

>>11166599
that shoulder just has a bias strip like every other t shirt
this shitty, gildan printed, yeezus tee i'm wearing right now has it
darker tee is overlocked and pressed

>uniqlo finally coming to Canada this fall
>"koalatree is shit now"
>internet fashion circles have finally jumped off the hype train
>finally coming to terms that it's just a shit fast fashion store
>I'll still probably check it out when it comes

>>11166454
>bought some t-shirts a month ago
>haven't washed them yet

>>11166210
Why does everything go to shit the year after I buy it or start becoming interested in said thing? Are the Heebs to blame, guise?

No, just bought some oxford shirts from them. I compare the new ones to the old ones I bought in 2014 and barely any differences. The new blue one is a bit darker, slimmer but longer fit for tucking in. The collar also rolls better. Other than that the quality is the same. For me, they seem to be taking the slim trend a bit too far. I remember they used to have the oxford shirts in regular fit which is what I wanted.

>>11166666

how are the blazers, chinos and hoodies?

>>11166210
just got a jacket from them
super comfy, warm, and just nice.
This is the only thing I have from them so idk if I can say but so far it seems like they have good quality.

>>11166252

Uniqlo is nicely cut basics in a variety of styles, every colour at a very good price.

People shit on it because /fa/ is contrarian, the quality for the price it great.

Should I cop black selvedge slims from uniqlo or another shop? Which will last longer

>>11166748
ehh I liked how they were going slim all the way, I've got a bunch of their linen shirts but they're close to being a fucking boat

the black skinny taper fit jeans have gone from:

2% elastine 98% cotton

to

6% elastine 94% cotton

they are noticeably thinner

I returned them and picked some up from Burton (UK store - same company as topman). These were 98/2 ratio and cheaper.

>>11168576

I bought jeans from Burton but those ripped so easy :(. Under at least 3 months and caught so much dust.

>>11166613
>uniqlo
>being anything but a place to buy decent, inexpensive basics
You gaijin are fucking retarded if you actually hyped it up to be anything more than that

>>11166237
Totally agree. People on fa trashing on companies for having shit quality are typically just elitist ass holes that think your whole wardrobe should be only from high end brands. I still wear clothes from so called "shit quality" brands that I've had for years. It's all generally just a myth with a few exceptions

>>11166755
Chinos are good and don't even feel the need to "upgrade," desu.

>>11168576
strange, I bought some slim fit jeans from uniqlo a month or so ago, and they are 98/2

>>11166365
Stitching on them is terrible

>>11168784
How do they fare anon?

>>11166210
Yellow mannequins

>>11166210
Not true, quality is still pretty good, I shop basics there regularly
