The True Straight 25oz 'Sumo IV' Japan Selvage Denim by Brave Star
-
I have both black and white in these "super" heavyweight t-shirts headed my way. I was trying to find a wonder looper tee in size Large but they are sold out everywhere I looked besides Spain. I have their heavyweight tees in a few colors and the cut works well for my body type.
For $38 each it's worth a shot. I'll update here with my thoughts when they arrive.https://bravestarselvage.com/collections/t-shirts/products/copy-of-sumo-xh-t-shirt-black

Received the “sumo xh” t-shirts from Brave Star. I’m 5’11” and 190lb and the size large fits me great. They are a boxy cut with little if any taper from the pits down. For under $40 and made in the USA, I haven’t seen anything on offer that would parallel these heavyweight tees.
The size large black weighs 320 grams and is very soft and thick. It’s not near as densely woven as the IH 1600 though. I would compare it to the 13oz tees from Freenote.
I’ll upload pictures of the white when I rotate it in.
In conclusion you really can’t go wrong for $38.

@jordanscollected I will add that I despise a huge neck hole in a t-shirt, it ruins it for me as I'm constantly adjusting the way it sits. his has a small neck hole and sits perfect.

Here’s the White Sumo XH. This one is cut a bit better than the black as it tapers just a touch in the body. Really a great heavyweight tee for a very affordable price.

For those that missed out on the IH denim tote. This Brave Star one could partially fill the hole in your heart.

@jordanscollected cool! Thanks for sharing. For the price I’m tempted to check one out. Could be very handy carrying books etc. for my job.
-
@Mizmazzle "for the price" is the key. One downside of loving and buying Iron Heart is that any purchase sub $100 is considered free.
-
@jordanscollected seriously! I see that Brave Star price and I’m like…what’s wrong with this bag?? Haha.

Figured I’d throw my personal experience out there. Purchased some items a few years ago but zero plans of going back. Their sizing chart compared to the garment is like a game of roulette and found their customer service to be a collection of cunts. I will say, if you’re fortunate to get the sizing right, hard to find a better bang for your buck.
For this carryall, appears to be more Bravestar roulette (though props to them for disclosing this): you do not get to choose the denim; the shade, weight, selvedge ID… all a mystery -
@flannel-slut That's good info as for them being a mainly (maybe solely?) online store their customer service needs to be impeccable. I only own t-shirts from them and for the 5 I own, size large has been perfect across the board in multiple weights.
I'll chalk it up to luck.
While I don't like "mystery bag" in most formats, this one may actually be fun to see what you get.
