G2000. At John Little expo you get them as cheap as $20 for shirts. For trousers though, good quality costs $40 atleast.
The best part about living in east is Singapore Expo is so close by and every week there is some or the other sale

They're not even the same Levi's. Levi just sells the branding rights to a different company. That's why the fit and models are completely different.

G2000 is cheap, but the quality is crap. I guess it depends what OP's expectations are. The cheapest "quality" I'd recommend is Banana Republic. A step up would be Ted Baker. Both are relatively expensive in Singapore compared to other places, and they're both 3x-4x more than anything you'd buy at G2000. So it's up to the OP to set his budget.

Not if you're fat. I wear a 'M' in the US and most Western clothing brands, but L or XL for Uniqlo. If you're L or larger in western brands, it may be a problem.
Definitely go to their shop and try things on, don't just order online.

Someone ought to give our OP a lesson in how to use the quote function. Hint: just click the 'Quote' button and don't fiddle around with it if you don't know what you're doing.
