Most underrated brands
What are your thoughts on this? Was thinking about Uniqlo. Any other brands that offer decent clothing quality at affordable prices?

Charles Tyrwhitt is a great one. Shirts are excellent quality and are very affordable.
+1 on Charles Tyrwhitt, particularly if you focus on their discounted items.
You should also consider T.M.Lewin, the London tailor who invented the button-up shirt in 1898. The two stores are practically next door to each other on Jermyn St. in London, and their Super Fitted cut is a great option for guys who are sick of baggy waists.
For pure price/performance, Amazon's new Buttoned Down private label uses the same extra-long-staple Supima cotton as Brooks Brothers, but a significantly better value.
Nordstrom also does a very good job with their private label Nordstrom Men's Shop line.
The main problem with Uniqlo and other brands with S/M/L sizing is you're probably going to have to compromise on either collar or sleeve length (unless you're lucky enough to be a body double for the guy they had in mind when they designed their size models.) If you're wearing suit & tie, this matters: you want the sleeve to cover your wrist bone, but not your hand, and to show ~1/2" of shirt cuff when you're wearing a jacket. (Think James Bond in Casino Royale.)

If you're in NY and want to go hands-on before buying, you might want to check out their new Manhattan Men's Store. https://shop.nordstrom.com/c/new-york
If you decide Nordstrom Men's Shop gives you what you're looking for, you can find them on Rack at even lower prices, along with deeply-discounted Hugo Boss, Brooks Brothers, and other dept store brands.
If your time is too valuable to waste monitoring multiple retail sites, you might need a new solution. https://www.wardrobeessentialist.com/post/when-brands-compete-you-win

MVMT watches. I'm bracing for the MS because I know how touchy people are about their timepieces, but they're pretty handsome and damn near bulletproof, not to mention an absolute steal in their price range.
Also, per cfitz above- never, ever sleep on Nordstrom Rack. Some of their stuff is pretty goofy, but in other cases, the buyers ordered more of some pretty quality stuff than they could realistically sell, so they push it to the Rack at ridiculous prices. I found a Versace suit there for $185, which is way closer to FV than its list price, but come on.
I would never advise anyone to buy an MVMT watch but to each their own. In that price range you are better off with a Seiko 5/Citizen or for a few more bucks a hamilton khaki or Tissot.
