See also. Hi Everyone, I know it might be a weird topic, but I have now for years struggled to find good quality underwear for an affordable price. It seems HM is the only option, but I dont really fancy the quality of HM? As it is now i'm loading up my underweaar draw everytime I go back home, but I believe in this big country there must be some decent underwear out there. Looking forward to get you guys view on this topic, and to see if I'm the only one with this problem. Hopefully as well we can share some of the best places to buy underwer that fits us westeners, without having to buy XXXXL when u r just a L back home. :). Just for the record I'm looking for mens boxers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingfunny Posted February 28, 2018 at 08:45 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 08:45 AM I bought most of mine at Uniqlo. They never were quite as good as Marks and Spencer, but they did the job. They'll also tailor the trousers to fit your leg length, making it easier to get a pair of trousers that make sense. The downside with Uniqlo though was that they only seemed to have one size of socks, it was mental. And welcome to the forums! Maybe if you tell us which city you're in, someone might be able to give some more specific advice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vellocet Posted February 28, 2018 at 09:04 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 09:04 AM I buy all my boxers back home. It is impossible to find good quality here. There are premium brands but they are horrifically expensive. I just got into the habit of keeping a few extra unopened packs of underwear, undershirts, socks in the closet. Whenever clothes get worn out, just open up a new pack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChTTay Posted February 28, 2018 at 09:22 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 09:22 AM Also all back home. Marks & Spencer's for life. Shopping for clothes here in Beijing is generally bad. I usually take half a suitcase home and fill the empty half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roddy Posted February 28, 2018 at 09:43 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 09:43 AM I never enjoyed clothes shopping in China. I suspect I maybe bought some boxers from Carrefour at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members FJsparta Posted February 28, 2018 at 09:50 AM Author New Members Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 09:50 AM Cheers for all the replies, it seems im not the only one with this problem :). I'm living in Xiamen in Fujian. I will go check out Uniqlo, but I just have a sense of that they are similar as HM? I might be wrong. Keep comming with suggestions, or if you suddenly find somehting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members WilaDK Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:23 AM New Members Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:23 AM I ordered some underwear from a brand called Viking Heritage last week, after a friend introduced it to me, as we had the exact same discussion, where to buy underwear? As, you say yourself, I usually buy mine from H&M, but I find that they break too fast. You can only buy the Viking Heritage on their wechat, at least that’s what I did (they speak English)… There might be some other way, but this was pretty easy though. They are selling a 3-pack for 150 RMB, and that includes express delivery, so that’s pretty cheap, and they are very comfortable and the fitting is great – they are made from bamboo fabric (had no idea that existed) and wow that is some nice soft stuff! Anyway, if you search for VikingHeritage (one word) on wechat, you should be able to find them. They told me they are following European size standards, so I guess you can just order size L from them, no need to think in Chinese size (XXXXL) :-D I am a size XL myself, and that’s what I ordered, and they were spot on. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:42 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:42 AM Yeah, my uncle bought some Viking Heritage underwear, but the next week his testicles fell off. Does anyone else have any horror stories about Viking Heritage Underwear? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingfunny Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:51 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:51 AM I was trying to think where I'd heard the name before, and then I remembered: wasn't Viking Heritage underwear what Hitler wore? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unluckyuncle Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:52 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:52 AM It is true! Edit: I mean about my testicles. Not sure about the Hitler thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:52 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:52 AM 1 minute ago, somethingfunny said: wasn't Viking Heritage underwear what Hitler wore? So are we supposed not to wear Viking Heritage now for fear of being labelled a Nazi sympathiser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:54 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 10:54 AM If ONLY there was someone from Viking Underwear posting on here to address these burning issues*... *Which is another thing.

889 Posted February 28, 2018 at 12:00 PM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 12:00 PM Amazon or Walmart or such for socks and underwear, then have it transhipped pretty cheaply. Two or three times the quality at half the cost, and it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vellocet Posted February 28, 2018 at 12:42 PM Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 at 12:42 PM How do you 'cheaply' transship something? The last time I got something from America, two pieces of paper cost $80 in shipping fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited the store 3 days running when they were having that closing down sale. I think I spend GBP400 in total on the food court. It was chaos in there but everything less that half price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
