The SF store has already been up, right? Its grand opening was like 9/28 and their sale ends today, I thought. I don't think it has an online store though, and I actually thought uniqlo didn't offer an online store for US, dunno though.

Im by no means one of those guys thats getting his cloth as cheap as possible and purchase "decently" expensive stuff quite often but is there really a difference between a luigi borrlli shirt for 375$ or a hugo boss shirt for 70? or a Boss tie for 30 instead of 140 bucks.

uniqlo sf store opened on the 5th. their popup was seriously underwhelming though.
online store is coming later this month.


all silk is not made equally.
similar to how zimbabwean cotton is far superior to turkish cotton which, in itself, is far superior to domestic cotton, there's a difference between fabrics used by, say a couture house, to something sold at your local department store.
usually, rule of thumb is you get what you pay for unless something is sold primarily based on the strength of its brand name.

nike, true religion, lucky, north face, lv, gucci, a|x, etc.

there are some exceptions to that exception of a rule.
for example, some people would argue burberry goes on that list but the quality of their outerwear is fantastic and one of their coats lasts you a lifetime. hence, even though a cashmere trench might cost you your liver and you're probably overpaying for it by maybe ~25%, I view it as a long-term investment that's probably well worth it in the end.

also that heattech shit from uniqlo is a downright scam hahaha

I just realized that I'll need to buy a suit sometime next year. I've never bought a suit before, so I have a question: I've been bulking up for a while so I was wondering if I should try cutting some weight prior to buying a suit. Like, would it make a notable difference in terms of appearance if I lose some weight? I've just seen a lot of people whose suits seems a size too large for them, and a few slim people who look really good in suits. Wasn't sure if it's a weight thing or not.

H&M is good for short term but you really wanna be investing :[.

I don't know what you mean by investing in Uniqlo. Uniqlo is at max low quality clothing. H&M and uniqlo are not good brands that you would "invest" in. Something you invest in is designer clothing. Fyi, hollister and american eagle are even better than uniqlo... i'm against spending 50$ just for an eagle stitching. LOL investing in department store clothing.
