                What exactly does loopwheeled imply? Are all three colors of this shirt loopwheeled?

                  maybe i'm wrong, but imho the biggest size for loopwheeled is xl and sometimes (e.g. for bigger sizes) the loopwheeled fabric will be cut into pieces and sewn together…

                    Interesting. Thank you for your input.

                      The white shirt I received is definitely not loopwheeled (i.e. It has side seams).

                      It is….

                        Care to give a little more detail (or point me to where the relevant information may be)? The information in the product description (from the hoverable loopwheel link) says loopwheeled shirts do not have side seams. Thanks.

                          Loopwheel is a process of knitting tubes of fabric, which can get made into garments.  If you hover over "Loopwheel" on the product page, you will see a more detailed construction of the fabric.

                          Loopwheel machines are ancient and of fixed circumference, that is,  only one size tube can be knitted on a proper loopwheel machine.

                          The largest loopwheel machines are capable of knitting a current XL circumference.  To make an XXL we have to cut smaller tubes and sew them together, hence the side seams on a XL or larger.

                              So on the 6.5oz we have to include side seams.  That does not make it not loopwheel.  This fabric is loopwheel. If you think a side seam makes it not loopwheel and therefore not so desireable, I'll take it back off you no problem.

                                I will and I will update the hover over, but frankly I take exception to the assertion that "my shirt is definitely not loopwheel", neither Haraki or I are are in the business of bullshit or dissembling. I would have thought that was quite obvious in the ay we expose so much to you guys.

                                I am perfectly prepared to be accused of a mistake not of dissembling.

                                Thanks, I wanted to check to make sure I received the product I paid for. It appears I did, and I learned more about loop wheeled shirts. Thank you for your time.

                                  This was covered somewhere earlier in the thread. All the XL's have side seams (and some of the other sizes too I think). The fabric is still loopwheeled. That's why it's all soft and springy.

                                  Thank you. This is why I asked to see if this was indeed the case. I skimmed over most of the thread but didn't see that information. I have other loopwheeled shirts in xl with no side seams. Just wanted to make sure there was no mix up.

                                    It's mentioned once early on. Easy to miss.

                                        My XLs have side seams.

                                        I should have kept reading… 🙂

                                        It looks like I lucked out. I can wear the L in navy (pretty fitted) and the XL in white.

                                          I do prefer Ts without side seams so it's all clear now with this model. I have a couple of loopwheeled Triple Works Ts (1401-1403) in size XXL and they don't have side seams, though.

                                            Excellent news! I was just going to ask about the fit… I may pick up the next round in L. These are the best tee's I own.
