How quality are the twins? I've been looking at a pair. And are they similar sizing to Fairtex? I'm like a 34 but I have monster thighs haha.
If you buy a current model pair of Twins (i.e. the black label), they're just as nice as Fairtex and more stylish IMHO (i.e. they keep up with the current trends in the stadium while most Fairtex models look like they're stuck in the late 90's haha). The satin is thicker, but the stitching on the designs and writing becomes a little more easily frayed than Fairtex's stitching.
Twins run one size smaller than Fairtex and come in two cuts, generally: a classic cut that is similar to Fairtex, and a competition cut that's becoming de rigeur amongst all the fighters at Lumpinee and Rajadamnern.
I'm 6'1", 185lbs with a 33-34 waist and legs that some girls at the gym called "tree trunks" :icon_neut ,and the Twins XL competition cut fits me like it was custom built for me. I take L in Fairtex, and Top King XL runs just slightly uncomfortably snug on me (not just the waist, but the crotch is shallow as well).
Fair warning: I was speaking to shihtzu, and it looks like some of the old Twins models (white label) have very short inseams. I don't have much experience with their older models so I can't say much more on that, so caveat emptor if you go for one of their old models.
