Uniqlo Undershirts. Supima or DRY? San Franciso Uniqlo Opens

Uniqlo’s San Francisco Store Opening

A long-time reader emailed me with a question about Uniqlo’s undershirts. He also confirmed the company’s recent San Francisco store opening:

Hey Tug,

Long time no talk. The blog is looking good I see. I was reading your opinion on Uniqlo (they just opened one in the Bay Area). What do you think about their Supima cotton shirts (2 pack) versus the $5 DRY shirt?

Uniqlo Supima vs DRY

yo john,

how you doin buddy! good to hear from you.

thanks for the confirmation on the uniqlo store opening. i knew it was coming, but i didn’t check in to see about the progress.

so, i’ve tried several uniqlo “undershirt” products, including the supima and dry lines. personally, i like the supima line better – their overall value is really fantastic. i will say that the supima on the undershirts does not feel as soft as other supima i’ve tried, but it’s hard to beat the value. i also like the fact the offer the form fit with stretch, via the fine ribbing, without using spandex.

the dry shirt is pretty good too, but i’m not as much of a fan as i am of their supima and heattech (heattech undershirt review). generally speaking, the dry is just a cotton/poly jersey undershirt without a lot of forgiveness. mine fits pretty good, but if i recall correctly, it wears a hair bit on the warm side for me – plus – i generally like undershirts with a bit more forgiveness/stretch, even if they are a jersey undershirt.

bear in mind, it’s been a while since i wore them. i spent a good amount of time during the summer in either ribbed tank tops, or some super-light weight undershirt products i’m testing. i did hear some pretty good things about uniqlo’s airism undershirts, but i haven’t had the time to try them out yet.

have you tried them out yet? if so, what do you think of them?

if not, and you’re planning to buy some, can you email me back and let me know what you think?
