Compared to those cheap brands, sure. I've mainly bought Uniqlo clothes for the last 4 years, and they've been decaying at about a slightly slower rate (maybe 0.75x) than similar brands to those you listed, but for each item, I estimate that it was probably 2-3x as expensive as their cheap counterpart.
In contrast to that, I also still wear some skateboard clothes that run in the same price range as Uniqlo and are ~10 years old by, which hold up much better (with most of the damage coming from my cat). I don't have any illusions that any of my Uniqlo stuff will last that long.
I still like Uniqlo, as they provide one of the most straightforward shopping experiences for someone who doesn't like shopping, but there is certainly room for improvement in their quality.
- paganel 6y agoCan say the same about skateboard shirts, I’m still regularly wearing an Emerica shirt I bought in late 2006 and an Emerica hoodie I bought around the same time.

But in Japan the prices were lower for what I'd pay for these brands. For the US, here is t-shirts for Uniqlo vs H&M.

Edit: Also if you haven't checked the cheaper brands in the last 4 years, you might not be aware that their quality deteriorated rapidly especially for Nike/Adidas.
