Abroad in Japan · Thursday, August 27, 2026
Chris Broad, host of the About Japan podcast, discussed clothing brands with his co-host Pete Dawson. Broad expressed doubt about Uniqlo t-shirts fitting him due to his frame, suggesting they are designed for a 'Japanese frame'. He noted that while Uniqlo is available in London, the fit remains an issue for him.
“Why aren't you sponsored by like, um, Uniqlo, like a black t-shirt?”
“I don't think Uniqlo, they probably Uniqlo, they don't fit me because they're like often built for a Japanese frame.”
“And my frame is like not good. Yeah. It's a compromised frame.”
