Over here in my taman, cheras district

An Afghani/Pakistani old man with his hand push trolley cart, he collects garbage around my taman since about 8 years ago,

I noticed he wears the traditional Pakistani long robe the whole day under the hot sun, pushing the trolley cart full of metal items, the same long robe he wears for years, still wearing it

I suspect those long robe must be of super high quality

Yes?

My American Levis jeans can't even last that long

As tadpole billionaire I only wear Balenciaga at minimum, can't relate

u pay extra for quality

Yes i would say quality drop as they know they do not have to make the clothing to last anymore as most will buy new ones before the old ones wear out due to current fashion trends.

drop or not i cant comment, but price gone up significantly. one burberry tee or polo is 2-3k now

Welcome back sifu

I never got into the Burberry phase…. Was well and truly put off (and the same goes with LV) by Mainlanders decked out in Burberry or LV from cap down to shoes, walking around like chequered clowns.

gotta maybe understand the materials used
Nylon, spandex, polyester, cotton (many many types), lycra, PP etc just to name a few
- hint: look for Rayon, or PP microfibres

find the type that you like, and for cotton, the country of origin that makes the best quality

if synthetics, find out which one lasts longest without fading or going out of shape, good wetting behavior (absorbs sweat/water, wicking, without sticking to the skin or showing up as a wet t-shirt contestant) and good laundry practices. The term "Dri-fit" has been abused, as many if not some synthetics do not wet, nor wick, not to mention dry...

Uniqlo has collaboration with Toray, and some premium materials from Europe, while some are cash cow products

Yeah, recently got increase in price. But not the one you mentioned.

79.90 and 149.90 is two different model. They may look the same but the fabric is different.

79.90 probably increased to 99.90 now
99.90 increased to 129.90
129.90 increased to 149.90
etc..
is what i noticed over the years

nope
it's the exact same thing...same 1 layer Polyester...pocketable...2 pockets on the inside
i know it's the same because i have the same exact thing myself

https://www.uniqlo.com/my/en/products/E4692...sizeCode=SMA002

and there is no slow increase, it was RM79.90 brand new earlier this year thn suddenly i saw last month it's RM149.90 for the same thing

oooff.. double the price.


I also have these. i got three, a blue one, a red one and an orange one. i think my first one was 79.90. the second one and third one i bought like within the span of 3 years. There were indeed price difference over the years but i can understand because there were minor changes in material and design and our weakened ringgit. But this was like in 2019-2021.

Now its 149.90..crazy. Must be selling well.

they have always maintain their price over the years..never increase at all
but for me even RM79.90 is already hard to swallow.....so 149.90 is

their other clothing also increase like RM20-30 from what i saw

Not sure about Uniqlo

their shirt and jeans quality not bad

hahah i know what u mean.. i liked their plain color polo tees with the burberry crest last time. it was like 600-800 each, now probably 3k..

Learn to read. TS didnt imply that

I think its not just fabric quality. Nowadays a lot people dont bother to read laundry label / instructions. All clothes throw into washing machine press start and that's it

uniqlo good quality, last you 10 years... price is ok too

As a rupiah billionaire..

I only go brands outlet and get my shirt n tshirt
Cheap and good and got a pocket most importantly

I rather shop at Padini, Brands Outlet, F.O.S than shop at H&M.

I don't know why people still shop at H&M. Their quality is so bad.
I bought 1 tshirt last time and the quality is exactly like I bought at Pasar Malam every Sunday

Noticed Uniqlo clothes quality dropped for some items, like they will mix linen / cotton with rayon / polyester and price increased with less discounts like pre MCO. What a pity, I suppose due to inflation and ringgit devalue.
