I've worn a 'uniform' based around Uniqlo's long sleeved tees for about 15 years now and I've noticed the quality drop off remarkably over the past few years.
A shirt will barely last a few months now, whilst I still occasionally wear a [much be-holed] first generation from way back when and it's kept its size, shape and still feels soft. New ones shrink and feel crunchy after a few washes. Oh, and they're about twice the price. Inflation, I guess.
- syntaxing 4y agoHaven’t bought clothes from them in a while because they last so long but the “line” matters too. My standard cotton ones are starting break but the suprima cotton ones are still going strong 4 years later.
- Gys 4y agoMany comments here praise Uniqlo and for years I also bought all 'my uniform', my short sleeve shirts there (guess I live in a warmer climate). But now I got the same feeling as you have. The shirts that I bought a few weeks ago are really different and I finally decided I need to find an alternative.
- deebosong 4y agoone more drop in the uniqlo bucket. i liked the free hemming on their jeans. and overall one-stop-shop for basics. but jeans and shorts wouldn't last for a year in the seams. Even their pockets and buttons above the zippers would fail. i haven't had that happen with other brands. without making it a conscious choice, i just drifted towards other similar brands after consistently experiencing the quality of their materials.

- 55555 4y agoAgreed! The basic white tees get washed away within a few months. I think they used to be higher quality. That or they’re in cahoots with my maid.
