Does anyone have a pair of these chinos? I'm wondering what the fit's like, especially the waist and how true it is to the given size.

I've got them in red and light blue. Fairly true to size - fit not disimilar to Levi 501's.

TBH its low rise garbage. I'd spend more money and go elsewhere.

Yeah now all we need is to star getting some of these stores in Dallas, the H&Ms and such. I still find it hard to believe there isn't an H&M in the state of Texas.

It's certainly not all low rise - the twin pleat chinos are natural waisted, and the flat fronts aren't that low. The twin pleat chinos are probably the best chinos I've bought in years - better cut and constructed than say Charles Thyrwhit or DAKS. I think they're good value for basics. I generally find that chinos end up marked/stained before they've worn out anyway. I'm sure you can find better, but you're getting a decent product at a cheap price.

Are they ok for T-shirts? I need some basic simple summer t-shirts that are slim fit for the beach, I am planning on making a trip this summer to NYC and check it out because we do not have them in Boston. I also need some linen pants and maybe a pair of two of summer shorts.

Do they not offer complimentary hemming on trousers in the store? They do in Japan, for instance. Also, prices there seem to be a lot lower than prices here for whatever reason.

Uniqlo is more or less the Japanese(read: better) version of Banana Republic: decently-made basics at affordable prices. Styles don't change as quickly as fast fashion chains like H&M, Zara, or Topman, but fabric, construction, and quality control are a fair bit better.

Their Ts fit well if you size down 1.

They do offer hemming at the NY store. But I perfer to take it to my tailor since I'm tapering and adding a cuff.
