I mostly have their thermal clothes and tees but I’ve been drying them in the dryer for years and it’s fine so far.

I'm sure some of their stuff isn't the best quality, but I have undershirts that have lasted about a decade that are doing surprisingly fine. It's not supposed to be the highest quality, but it's very decent on basics for fast fashion.

I also have 2 button ups & a sweater that I wear very infrequently I bought when their first east coast location in NYC opened up (before they really Americanized sizes & I was a XXXLol). I hang dry my button up shirts & pants to extend their life anyway, rather than always do the dryer, so I'm probably not typical.

I have a soft spot bias for Uniqlo is what I'm saying

Uniqlo's quality was much higher a decade ago. I also have some decade-old items from them that have held up longer and better than things I got in the last few years.

For sure, it got worse as it expanded. It's still fast fashion-y at the end of the day.

The supima cotton undershirts mentioned are now $20 each, not $20 for a two pack.
