Yea, Einstein wore loop wheeled sweats…
“Perhaps the most common pictures of Einstein from that time show him happily shuffling around his Princeton study wearing a big gray sweatshirt. Luckily for Einstein, his life coincided with the invention of the cotton sweatshirt – for he was enamored of the soft warm comfortable garment (einsteinatoz.com).”

Studies show Einstein found the sweater 'relatively comfortable'.

Not sure how I feel about short sleeved sweatshirts, but this is the real deal…

Looking for a basic grey hoodie, and kind of had my eye on the one from real mccoys. I can't find it anywhere in Europe though :/. Anyone who know somewhere which might stock them?

Advice on other, similar hoodies, to fit a relatively slim figure are also welcome

Not every tubular knit is loopwheeled and funny enough there are pieces with sideseams which are/were made of loopwheeled fabrics (more vintage related).

[jdl1279]

Might as well add the authority on the matter

[Superfluous]

Informative video – thanks

[mclaincausey]

geeeeeek out

Have it - was part of my studies a long time ago…
Very short on loopwheel machines due to their relatively insignificant role in today's textile industry.
Nevertheless, loopwheel based machines are still produces these days for random applications (i.e. when narrow diameter tubes are needed for medical purposes).
