Instead of trying to find the old thread, I'm just posting this new one for those that were wondering about ordering from this place online: http://www.clothingtalks.com/ which had some cool things for smaller guys.

#1 - They are legit. I did receive my order and it did take 2-3 weeks to ship.

#2 - Quality on items varies. Think everything from major department store to walmart as far as that went. I ordered a bunch of stuff specifically to see what the range of quality was. Overall, I'm satisfied.

#3 - If you are larger than a size 32" in pants, don't order pants. Also, be very careful because if you have noticeable hips, you probably won't be able to fit the pants. I don't have huge hips but still couldn't fit in one pair I bought. Also, if you have larger hips, you might not fit well into the button down shirts. The last button won't button if you have large hips. Most of the shirts I bought were the largest sizes and they do fit.

#4 - T-shirts, sweaters, etc. should fit fine if you just pay attention to the sizing. They do list size in inches if you scroll down on the project pages.

So all in all I think it was worth ordering because I got some pretty unique looking things that I've never seen elsewhere in the states and only 2 things I bought didn't fit well.

If anyone is interested in specific items I bought I can post an additional review.

I've been looking for an online clothing site like this recently. Thanks for the link :) Definitely going to check it out when I have time.

Some of the stuff is pretty cool and really inexpensive.  Thanks for the link.

Some of the shirts with English-language writing are confounding, though.  "Do you believe in destiong?  Offers the most comfortable"--whaat?  (http://www.clothingtalks.com/discount-men-s-clothing/men-s-shirts/t-shirts/korean-style-long-sleeve-printed-t-shirt-black-s-m-l-at5853947cb.html)

I found some cool stuff on that site!  Too bad all the sweaters/cardigans are too big to fit me like they do in the pictures, otherwise I'd be really tempted...

The stuff does run a lot smaller then U.S. sizes. I'm only 5'3", 135lbs and I had to get L and XL for all the shirts I got. I did get a couple sweaters too and they fit perfect.

I know, they're a lot smaller than what I'd find at Walmart or something.  But at 5' 7", 110lbs, my chest is 30" when binding.  It's almost impossible for me to find things that actually "fit" as they were designed to.  Maybe I'll get one anyway.  :laugh:

Oh wow, I've bought & seen a few of the items on here on a different website and it's all much cheaper here.

The sizing lists US and Asia for sizes; when you say you had to go with L and XL was that in the US size? I'm 5'3 and 125 lbs and I typically wear US XS or S.

Edit: Though, I don't like that they're gutting you for shipping on this site. I should have known. Still, looks like it will end up slightly cheaper than the other site.

Yeah the shipping is harsh but the stuff is so cheap it kinda evens out to me because I have such a hard time finding guy's clothes that fit here. A small in men's here usually is still too big (depends on the brand, I have lucked out on some). Anyway, I just went by the actual measurements they listed (in inches) and then I took some measurements of the few things I have that DO fit me in my closet. Turned out most of my button down shirts were 38" - 40" across in the chest, so that's what I went by when I ordered from them and yeah most of the stuff was a L or XL. 

One other note, their button down shirts are more "fitted" than stuff here. I actually like that over the everything-is-several-sizes-too-big thing myself. If you've got a good binder and you order the right size for your measurements you should have nothing to worry about it.
