    I really love that you included the washing part. This is really true when it comes to brands like h&m etc. It looks nice, It fits great when you first try it, but then after few washes it's just bad. Great content as always

    • @Gnurklesquimp2
      @Gnurklesquimp2 Před rokem +15

      I pretty much only buy under-layers from certain brands, being a touch generous with the overal size of it, especially length. Even then, let's say it's a longsleeve for under an Airism oversized tee, the sleeves can sometimes kinda just get all misshapen, and the bottom of a tee peeking from under something else can also suffer from the same.
      Most of the risks I did take from H&M and the like did pay off, a lot of the time it's about predicting how it'll shrink and if it remains flattering. It's kind of a blessing, though, a lot less tempting to buy there this way.
      Too bad brands like Vans aren't jumping on these boxy half-sleeve cuts etc. more, I LOVE some of their clothes, and some have really, really nice cuts with dropped shoulders, flowy fabric, rich dyes, stuff like that, but there's definitely more potential.

    • @krzysztof7648

      It depends really. I've been wearing H&M t-shirts for years and some of them I have had for over 5 years and still wearing them with no signs of being worn off. I enjoy wearing especially the slim-fit ones as they emphasize your physique if you are fit of course.
      Other t-shirts however, started to look lousy after just few washes. From what I noticed, the ones I bought a few years back are usually much better quality than these bought recently. Same thing applies to sweaters, hoodies, etc. It appears that the overall quality of clothes from popular brands is now significantly worse.

  • @ReyoVR
    @ReyoVR Před rokem +474

    The fit really depends on body shape and personal preferences. I think putting more emphasis on durability and physical properties would be great (i.e. brushing it with a course brush repeatedly, stretching it forcibly many times to see if they return to their original shape, the weight and breathability of the fabric, how easy it is to dry or absorb moisture, and whether they are resistant to staining, will the edges begin to curl after multiple washes/tumble drying, etc)

    Hi Tim, I liked how you have made the comparison for White Tee. Uniqlo Tee gets a high rating due to its fabrics. Definitely, they use high-quality standards in manufacturing. But they have used CVC (Cotton Polyester) fabrics which helps to perform well in the criteria that you have made comparisons.
    Being a clothing manufacturer, I can tell you that Studio Nicholson and Represent are charging high prices because of their position as luxury fashion brands. Manufacturing location and fabric weight have less impact on the price they're charging.

    • @nachonachoman
      @nachonachoman Před rokem +12

      I used to think polyester was bad. And all the same but performance polyester has gotten really good. Not like the 80s anymore. Comes down to how fine they can make the thread. Hate the shrink and wrinkling of natural fabrics. Japan invented and has been the leader in microfabeics

    • @lialicious1000

      yeah but polyester has the very powerful potential to be made from recycled plastics, that’s a big win seeing how much disposable plastic there is (looking at water bottles). Would transition from a single use plastic to a garment you keep for years. But yeah micro plastics are a pain, I have heard there were specialised bacterias that could digest them, so maybe use this in water filtration 🤷‍♀️

    Another good quality test is to hold the shirt into the light to see the fabric. On cheaper shirts, the fabric is mostly sewn diagonal to save up fabric (when cut from the bigger sheet). This is also the reason, why many seams look of after some washes because the fabric is warping when not align.

    Something that has become increasingly important to me as I've gotten older (I'm 33), is the back story to the clothing I buy. I've met people who've previously worked in the sweatshops for fast-fashion places like H&M, where they were working 16 hour days, paid $1.75 for the entire day, and only like 14 years old. I am willing to pay significantly more to know that whoever made my clothes were treated better than that.

    I decided to try Colorful Standard shirts this past week after seeing their emphasis on generally nice materials and fight against fast fashion. $38 USD for a plain colored tee I did find steep, but that higher price is honestly quite worth it. I can't vouch for longevity given how I got the tee this weekend, but the shirt materials do feel considerably more quality than pretty much all of my tees. Can't really vouch on transparency either though since I got navy. Fit was spot-on for my slightly wider shoulders, if slightly long.

You can choose different weights, get it custom fitted to your taste and size, it’s the highest quality super long Supima Cotton.

    For keeping white t shirts (or any white clothing) clean and bright, use fells naphtha soap to spot clean the neck, underarms and any stains before throwing it in the wash. Works better on all natural fibers than on synthetics. After years of washes, you can also use bluing agents to make white look whiter. But I find that fells naphtha soap works very well. Both are very old techniques for keeping white fabric bright.

I have a newer Blanks shirt in the dusk colourway and it’s much shorter and the neck is tighter, a perfect fit in my eyes

    I love the Uniqlo U oversized t-shirt. However, for layering with some of my favourite items (e.g., a button down or a light jacket) the proportions just don't sit quite right. And, finding a regular fit t-shirt of similar quality is difficult for some reason. Most ones I own either shrink or just don't look as good after a few wears (I do like the Uniqlo U "short sleeve t-shirt" but sometimes I prefer something a little more soft and breathable). Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have 4 Uniqlo Tshirts and they are all great, only thing that sucks is their material composition (not that the fabric feels bad it's just the polyester that annoys me...) i really hope they release oversized tshirts with 100% cotton but then those will probably be a lot more pricier :(

      Of course it’s not optimal at all that the Uniqlo shirt has polyester, but I wouldn’t say it’s as problematic as you think. It’s not going to pollute the water, because it’s not pilling, at least not for me. Therefore all the polyester stays in the fabric.

    This test was very interesting. The wash test would really interest me across many brands, various products, and different fabrics. I am looking for cloths that I can wear for a long time. The feeling if a new piece looks terrible after the first wash is just the worst, and I have this fear particularly for brands like COS that feel so amazing at first. Also, I would love to know what sweater you are wearing around 2:50!

    It’s really hard for me to find good fitting t shirts, let alone clothes in general due to my size and body structure.
    I am 5’7 and 170lb but workout a lot so my shoulders are really wide for how short I am. Also my hips are really wide compared to my waist.
    Finding clothes that are wide enough but not super long is so hard to find. Same goes for any pants.
    That’s why I really love Uniclo t shirts and the brand in general. The fit that I get from them is always great and sometimes although I might need to get clothes tailored they keep their body proportions. Great video explaining this.

    Nice!! I do find it a little unfair that the UNIQLO t-shirt is NOT pure cotton. You say that "it's typically the cheap brands that don't make pure cotton"... which is false (Primark, H&M), but UNIQLO does. Also, we cannot overlook the fact that the cheap ones are made in sweatshops in developing countries. The wash test... mhm... I'd like to see how they would look like after 10 washes and a few months of wearing them. Great video nevertheless.

    Hey mate really good video! The Uniqlo one is my go to for quite a bit now, I wish there was more "washed" colors but I'm in love with the shape, softness, and the fact that you barely need to iron it post wash. An other one that I really do like for slightly more expensive is the Arket oversized heavyweight tee, it comes around £35, a bit longer than the Uniqlo but it has this extra cotton texture that the Uniqlo one doesn't have. It comes closer to the Represent I would say, but cheaper and smoother. Aside of that, having some extra ones coming from more independent brands like Studio Nicholson or Florence Black are giving this extra thing when you're wearing them.
