thanks for the tip, momentoftruth, but i'm still unsure. for reference, here i am in the regular fit, size medium. having just tried it on now, it's sloppier than i remembered - flaring quite noticeably in places and bunching a little in the upper chest. i'm pretty tall and equally thin, yet it's still too long. (and yes, this is post-hot wash / dry so it's done all the shrinking it's going to.)

as people have mentioned staying TTS with the slim fit, given the fit below in the medium, i'm pretty tempted to opt for small and just stick to cold wash / line dry as i do with most my clothes..

thoughts?

Those $6 Uniqlo package t-shirts is garbage. They are good to use if you going to paint the house.

The American Apparel are too thin and feel cheap.

However the Uniqlo Premium tees are much better than AA.


Hmm, if there's that big of a difference between the dry and the premium, I'll give the premiums a shot.

Light gray vs. beige if I'm only getting one pair of slim fit chinos?

i thought a couple pages back somebody said the linen shirts fit huge. Was that true for you guys? I'm an XS in the oxfords, so I can't really size down.


Curious about the linen shirt sizing as well, thinking of picking one up.

I copped the beige a few hours ago, another pair of pants, and some M slim fit oxfords. Hope errthing fits well. They restocked a Taz wool in grey size 33 for $20.

By all reports they're huge. Are any of the current season blazers worth picking up?

For the guys who are asking about Tasmanian wool trousers for work, these S/S pair in cotton/polyester blend fit well and feel nice for the warmer weather.

FWIW I tried basically all the available pants online and these fit the best in terms of cut and feel.

MEN DRY FLAT FRONT PANTS (56/44 material blend)

Off-white looks nice, will pick up the beige and dark gray as well.



MEN DRY PERFECT SHAPE FLAT FRONT PANTS
http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/men-dry-perfect-shape-flat-front-pants/075456-32-038

This similar pair fits a bit slimmer by measurements and in person, and for some reason the blend of cotton, polyester, and spandex (54/43/3) makes the feel of the pants a bit more stiff and wrinkles a bit more. The thighs are definitely slimmer as you compare measurements, but not by much. I can fit into both pants well, size 32, but I just like the overall roomier cut and feel of the flat front pants over the perfect shape flat front.

still got a regular fit large pink oxford for 15 shipped if anyone wants it, worn once


How much with UK shipping? The provenance might make it worth the price...

UK need slim fit's badly
I've got an average chest. I'm medium everywhere, never small

Both broadclothes and OCBD's in medium fit are fairly baggy. Small's fit pretty well all over apart from the chest which pulls are the buttons if I move my arms back.

Will probably run them through the sewing machine to stitch the box pleat in but that does't sort the arms :/
