If Uniqlo fits you well, try any of the Mossimo shirts at Target, v-necks or crew necks. Cheap and good enough quality. (Gleaned that from /r/malefashionadvice.) Otherwise, for the shirts and pants that almost fit, find yourself

To finish Heisig with > 95% recall: 2 months. I had a general idea of what I was reading in Japan as soon as I arrived. Passed the JLPT 1 in 1.25 years. (I had a year of university study before Heisig, but the # kanji I knew was likel
