Loopwheeled t-shirts are no more delicate than other t-shirts.  I wash all of mine exactly the same in standard top loading washers and have never had any problems.

Ok, thanks Chris. Did you have any shrink?

Hey G, so I totally get that the 25oz tests the limits of what’s possible in terms of heavy weight denim. And I love the XHS, it’s by far my favorite and go to denim. But have there every been any talks of IH possibly trying anything heavier? I know Naked and famous does a 32oz and I heard Samurai does something like a 25oz UHR that when soaked shrinks to 27oz.

Just curious, still very happy with IHs denim offerings, but just wondering….

Haraki almost killed me when I asked for 25.  We will not go heavier…

With all our other denims, we get a known percentage of 2nd and 3rd grade denim when we weave it (it's different for each type of denim, but it is known and it is constant).  With the 25oz, the amount of 2nd and 3rd grade it totally unpredictable.  We believe we are at the limit of what is sensible.....

[Dstauffer]

Understandable, and again like I said, IH’s XHS is my favorite with the 21/23oz UHR a really close 2nd…

Really hoping the upcoming Boss Cut (which I am predicting will replace the 634 as my favorite cut) is a success so we can see some heavier iterations.

Anyone have any experience with, or opinions of Sage denim Co.? Either with their denim or wallets?

Sage Seesmore, the Indonesian brand?

My only familiarity is following them on IG for 2 years, because their denim is gorgeous, and fades amazingly

[Matty123]

Yeah bud, that’s the company I’m referring to.

[UnTucked]

There stuff looks great, and I tried to order a pair about a year or so ago, but there was something about the ordering process that I didn't like… Or maybe that was Old Blue Co.... Idk

[Matty123]

Yeah, I hear ya. I’ve been doing some reading about them and it seems they’re size charts don’t match what people actually are receiving pre-Soak. I hear they run much smaller than what they state.. that’s enough for me to stay away. 40 dollar shipping from the other side of the world and not knowing what I’m gonna get? That’s a hard pass.

The best looking one that I have seen is the Mister Freedom "Campus Cardigan", but it's significantly more expensive than the example you posted.

I own the natural one, and compared to all  ofther cardigans and sweaters I've owned in my life (That I can recall), this one is a "tank". Very heavy, dense knitting, 100% wool, and it's WARM.

I can tell you that Ohio Knitting Mills is who made them for MF, so if you poke around the internets, maybe they have made something similar for another brand, with less of a mark-up.

(Here's the OKM website…)

Dehen 1920 are on par with Ohio Knitting Mills

I've owned both and think they are both well made.  Dehen 1920 are heavy as heck

[Bill C]

thanks guys - some excellent options for this old guy there!

Would love to see IH get in the sweater game 

[Finkster]

I keep, keep, keep saying this…

I just bought something from Uniqlo.  Am I supposed to feel ashamed?
