Eh sue me. Hemming is a part of tailoring. It's like a square is a rectangle sorta thing.Getting clothes to be adequate for you is normal, yes.
I personally would never wear anything that I don't consider adequate.
Like I said, my objection was that you used (interchangeably I take it) a word that means something else than what you described.
To be fair though, they have much better shirts fit wise than nike. They are slimmer in the midsection so they are closer to the body and more comfortable. The seams are flat and not abrasive at all.Well, you used "perfect fit" in your sentence, which is a pretty big claim to not pay attention to.
Especially if you know, what a perfect fit is worth.
Honestly, I feel ripped off by nike everytime I buy something rf of rafa. I have probably bought well over 5000$ worth of tennis clothes and after seeing the aging of everything...well its dissappointing. Nike colors fade faster than They should, for me at least. Nike polos and shirts are often cut the same way all the way down instead of conforming more to the body. Adidas clothes, well...The barricade stuff is a little thick for my liking and the new adizero stuff is a very strange fabric, not my cup of tea, but adidas really never was except for shoes. Uniqlo is significantly lower quality than the rest, but much better pricing. I like uniqlo but lets face it, theyre not the best out there.Funny how every comment of yours is as much kicking of Nike as is a compliment for Lulu.
I wonder what I should make of your words about Nike in general, as my polos all fit and feel differently depending on what is the material etc. (not to mention that the general trend has switched to more "fitted" garments than in the past).
For example, my 100% cotton Grand Slam polos have more weight to them, are very soft and hang more freely in the mid section, but not overly so.
My cotton and polyester RF polos are mich lighter and also soft, but because they are lighter they don't feel as plush until you start hitting balls and the softness of the fabric can be felt against some less premium products from Nike. They are also slimmer in the midsection, which makes them more "fitted" than the GS Polo. I already mentioned the variations because of seasons etc.
The Barricade Polos from Adidas are also soft, but they have much more stretch built into them, so they also feel more conforming to the body.
Lacoste, with their 100% polyester polos have gone a completely different way, staying true to their origins and the feel is a bit like uniform, but a very comfortable one. They are even cmore fitted, if you like, but in a more general way throughout the body and around the collar.
Making general sweeping statements is not a good way to approach this.
I also sence a lot of dishonesty about the actual technical aspects of what you are saying.
Unless Lululemon have some really weird fit and sizing I would expect that the "slimmed" section relative to the size is always an approximation of how a fitted person in that size would be. Especially IF the garments are not close conforming to the body there is no way for you to make a conclusion like "closer to the body".
Closer than freely hanging T-shirt maybe, but RF are not exactly that.
That is IF we accept that slim version is always better for tennis, which I find a bit questionable.
I don't know what "abrasive" seams you are experiencing on your RF polos either, but I am also yet to have that (and for that matter on most any of my other polos from Adidas or Lacoste (speaking of modern traditional tennis apparel producers).
As a matter of fact, the seams especially on the sleeves of the RF are minimal to the point that you cannot know that they are there unless you turn the sleeve (I am not talking the polos Nike is making for Federer himself (they are completely different story), just the RF products.)
If you want I can show a before and after of a match wearing each garment? I sweat a lot and my lulu stuff stays dry. I will be playing 2 matches this weekend, I will upload results within the first 5 minutes of each match.Note to self: stop responding.
OK. Got it.
I'm competing every other weekend at the moment so I do not have the time to do so at the moment, I will do so once my schedule slows down. I am in the process of trying to get ready for a l1 national in a couple months. Once that passes I will do so.
Which national level 1 do you hope to play? Spring team or summer clays or hard court? How many players does Texas get in the quota? In my son's section players probably have to finish in at least the quarterfinals of half the 64-128 draw tourneys with national points to get in Kzoo. It is tougher for 18s than 16s as more players get in for 18s from ATP points, ITF, and national standings so less from quota. Even players in the TRN 100 are on the bubble as far as getting in Kzoo. Maybe some guys got in Clays who were TRN 150 last year, but most of the KZoo guys were top 100, or low 100s at a minimum. Do Texans play much on clay? The Texans my son played at nationals last summer in singles or dubs were all TRN top 100. Now there are certain weaker sections that get 3 or 4 players in nationals based on quota and sometimes those guys are 2 stars.
I played November and many of the top Texas guys won't play this year in 18s because of birthday months.
Pretty sure you've never felt the fabric, it doesn't hold sweat like nike. It lets it evaporate and stays dry, unlike nike.
It is really great quality, their customer service is also amazing. If it wears out too fast or is defective they replace it. I had sweats pill at the seams and they replaced them the next day. Very great customer service. I had a nike logo fall off a shirt and nike told me too bad...
No no. that dryfit material really work. especially it is hot and sweaty then it really does wick moisture and heat away from fabric and stays relatively dry and keep you cool
maybe you had an accident ?? Really it is supposed to smell bad after playing.....That is why you WASH it..............lol. Does LULU have wick away techknology ?? I thought their cloth was just regular cotton or polyester stuff.
Haha, get the metal vent tech stuff, that is the best for sweating.
At $68 still better than what nike offers for more expensive!
