My Stats:
- 30M | 99 kg | 178 cm
- Usually wear XL tops and 34/36 waist jeans and trousers.
- Chest measures around 118 cm, so I was looking for clothes with a chest circumference of at least 120 cm.
A Little Background:
I've been lurking around fashion replica subreddits for years but never really took the plunge until recently.
I finally decided to give it a shot and put together my first haul. I didn't want to go through resellers because I could never justify spending $70–100 per piece. At that price, I'd rather just buy genuine stuff during sales.
So I decided to try my luck with 1688 sellers instead.
I spent quite some time browsing this subreddit, and https://doppel.fit/ was honestly my best friend throughout the process. I used reverse image searches, checked previous quality check posts, compared listings, and eventually narrowed things down to what I wanted.
This is my first post on this sub (and my first fashion reps post in general), so please forgive me if I've missed anything. Feel free to ask any questions!
Agent & Shipping:
I used Kakobuy as my agent, and so far, I'm pretty happy with their service. They were responsive whenever I had questions.
After rehearsal, the final package weight came out to 3,950 g (3.95 kg). I paid CAD $96 for shipping after applying a coupon.
I went with Canada HD Line and shipped the package out yesterday. Hopefully, I'll have everything in hand by the end of the month!

Item I Ordered But Ended Up Returning:
Alo Straight-Fit Track Pants
Size: XL
Price: CAD $8.75
Link: https://detail.1688.com/offer/1056708456933.html
I ended up returning these because the inseam measured only 27 inches, whereas I need at least 31 inches. Pretty disappointing because I was looking forward to these!
Just a heads-up for anyone considering these, make sure you check the inseam measurements before ordering, especially if you're on the taller side.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, I'm pretty happy with how my first haul has gone so far. It took a fair bit of searching and comparing sellers, but I enjoyed the process.
One thing I learned is to always pay attention to the actual measurements rather than relying on the sizes listed by sellers. As you can see, I've ordered everything from L to 5XL depending on the item!
Hopefully, everything turns out as good as it looked in the warehouse photos.
Just to clarify, these are warehouse photos, not an in-hand review. My haul has already shipped, and I'll try to post an update once everything arrives and I've had a chance to check the quality and fit in person.
Hopefully, the sizing details, prices, and links help someone else putting together their first 1688 haul.
