sgmaven Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I don't know how small TS's frame is, but Uniqlo does stock clothes that are generally on the smaller side. In fact, I find it more difficult to find clothes if you are big. Many sports shops stock "Asian Size" which is rather small, and even shops like Uniqlo seldom have very large sizes (need to shop online, and not at their stores). Quote Слава Україні!

sgmaven Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 2 hours ago, singalion said: why ? the textile gets larger once they were worn... 😆 You are not making sense here! Firstly, any textile "stretch" is limited. No one wants to look like a "wrapped dumpling" or "包肉粽", when they wear their clothes. Besides, it is more about the design and "cut" of these clothes, that tend to taper rather than use a "straight cut". Sure, it might flatter a V-shaped physique, but it might also give problems if you have rather wide lats, due to their aggressive taper towards a narrow waist. Quote Слава Україні!

MarriedBiTop Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Previously in SG...hard to find smaller sizes. I used to live in usa, nyc...and they carried all sized from xxs to xxl while SG only had s to L But i believe now the size range in SG is better.

However, I have many cotton shirts that have never lost their "tightness" even after many years (until they eventually wear out). Quote Слава Україні!

Pity the nice young Asians wearing the small tapered clothes... when time passes and a belly starts to interfere with the taper. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XS.Lin Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 Personally I find it the other way around, it’s a lot more difficult to find the clothing for a big and tall (I’m 181/100), definitely those more popular brand like hobbit and midget (H&M), Uniqlo (unless I ordered online from them then have the size beyond XL), mark and spencer etc are selling clothing for the smaller size guys.

M&S is not too bad, since they do stock bigger sizes. The only thing is that their fashion is more suited for "uncles"? Can't imagine someone in his 20s wanting to wear their clothes!

shyc Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 Top man can be on the pricey side but I do love that they are super flimsy which make it great for our weather. Downside is they don’t last due to the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
