    @uint32:

    Anyone got suggestions for a good quality hoodie or sweater brand?  At the moment I'm looking at the NSW Loopwheeler hoodies, if I can find anywhere that has them in stock!

    how do you want it to fit and what's your budget?

      Ah this thread is where I should have started!  A few brands which I've never heard of to look at, should keep me busy for a little while checking them out.

      Anyone got experience of Headporter gear?  They have a few crewneck sweatshirts and hoodies … quality or overpriced?

          I like a fitted top which isn't too baggy.  Something with a little style or small detailing is always nice.

          My budget is anywhere up to £150ish quid, maybe a little more as long as I'm buying quality and not a label.

            depending on your body type, check out Reigning Champ & Wings+Horns.  if you need something that's cut a bit wider i can find other stuff for you.

            http://havenshop.ca is a decent place to start though it looks like they're about to get the new season in.

                Well, after a few hours of checking out the links and pics from this thread I end up buying …. a tanner goods belt!    At some point this evening my browsing went off on a tangent but no problem as my IHs are badly in need of a good belt and I have a week or two left before Scotland starts freezing over.

                Anyway, thanks for the links.  There is a shop not too far away which has some Headporter Plus gear so I'm going to go check it out this weekend, will also let me get the perfect sizing if I like what I see.

                Thanks,
                uint.

                  Any skinny guys out there can help me with sizing of a Reigning Champ crewneck?

                      Sweatshirt wise i still wear are a SDA loopwheel in natural indigo and a Duffer X Oki Ni effort.
                      Hoodie wise it's now mostly for work, Carharrt(union US made) FUBU,Schott,Hanes. And for play a reversable CP, alongside SI,Stussy and Prada.
                      Been looking at those heavyweight US ones to replace my Carharrt once is finally bites the dust. Any pics at all??

                        My favorite hoodie is the Nike x Loopwheeler. I got it for 90$ total from a sale and it must be the best deal I've ever made.

                        Though I'd like to get one that is more classic in cut…

                            The Real McCoys hooded zips available at Superdenim.co.uk look fantastic if your budget stretches that far. Or look into the Strike Gold equivalent at Self Edge. I have a SG crew neck and really love it.

                              moykky, i was introduced to loopwheeled items through nike & haven't been able to turn back since.  i'll take a few pictures of some items i have in a few days.  every year when they drop the new items i always put all the ones i want in my shopping cart under my user name & then come back at the end of the season to see the prices slashed & make my purchases.

                              they are really dope products

                                Can someone tell me why loopwheeled items are better and justify the price?

                                  i can't say they are better than new fabrics that are on the market.  i can say they are made in a traditional manner, sort of like with selvedge denim & all that other stuff.  very old machines & used & it gives the fabric a very interesting feel & look.

                                  **i asked the same question a while ago but it never got responded to  😃

                                    i'm pretty sure if you go to the nike website & do a search on loop wheeler/ loop wheeled they have videos ofthe machines in action.

                                    don't have access to that sort of stuff at work, so i can't plug it in here  😞

                                      to me loopwheeled t's/sweats are comfy as hell compared to non-lw stuff.
                                      not that I've handled that many so far but my TFH t's and my SDA sweater are comfy like nothing else I own…so that alone is something for that I would pay a few bucks more in the end...

                                      but maybe kiya,giles or even our man foxy could share some light on this!?

                                      MM - i try and see if I can find the post kiya made about this on sufu once...give me a few minutes though!

                                          another random question.

                                          what is the big deal with loopwheeled items?  i really don't think they are that soft or warm in comparison to many newer fabrics.  now the way items are flatseamed sewned seems to make a big difference in comfort, but loopwheeled or not i have a Nautica sweat suit from over ten years ago that is soo  much more comfortable then any loopwheeled item i have.  just the design of the Nautica sweat suit isn't that flattering

                                          guess this is kind of a rant as well, oh well need space to get off my bull$hit

                                          here is my kind of related question bagley920, just so you know you aren't alone  😠
