Wonder Looper

Been trying left and right to get my hands on the full zip blanket lined indigo hoody but man this thing appears to be in short supply. Should be thankful because no body needs to be spending over $600 on a hoody but it looks so damn perfect that I pry still pull the trigger if I find a Medium.
-
They are nice indeed.
I had a chance to try one on at a local retailer before they were released, and ultimately I passed. I didn’t really care for how you could see the blanket lining through the indigo. I understand for others this might be desirable. Not disparaging it, just my pov.
I have their double heavy weight and Superlooper zip hoodies, which are fantastic. In general I find the fit a bit boxy compared to IH.

@flannel-slut I had a chance at one. Proud of myself for passing. Also mad at myself for passing. .. you know the feeling. $598 for a hoodie is sort of crazy town. There is a small on eBay atm for 100usd more

Their collab t with standard and strange has become one of my favorites. Medium weight and plush with a good taut neck kinda like the warehouse 4601 but better sizing.
-
@Brandrea @CosmoSix5 Yea, I got excited about that hoodie after watching their YT video. Once I did the currency conversion I slowly backed away from my computer.
-
Wait until you guys hear about the Baby cashmere hoodie they're doing for $2700

@Jord cashmere brings zero temptation. Thank fuck.
-
@68degreesorless I hear ya man… love my WL heavy weight t’s and 876 gsm sweatshirts which is part of what is making it hard for me to shut my brain off on these indigo blanket lined offerings.
-
@flannel-slut UK JeanStore has some medium crewnecks if it's of any interest... Also 1 XL zip up...
Was tempted myself but they are silly money
-
@Jord much appreciated flagging a medium for me man! However I’m going to pretend I did not see this
-
@Chibs FYI, Gerhard Supply carries WL, and that’s where I had a chance to handle them.
-
@Chibs
lol. They’re in the junction on Dundas. Nice store … but no Iron Heart

Lot of money - I looked into getting the Ts direct from Japan a month back and I think you are stung for 20% Vat on the item incl shipping + the fee from whoever ships it. For the £645 - its £497 from WL in JP. ±600 direct then + a fee to UPS (!).
Mind you its a bargain next to the Fear of God Polyester blend: https://fearofgod.com/en-gb/collections/fearofgod-tops/products/zip-hoodie-fg25fw12-120flc-melange-grey

Very specific cottons used in those sweatshirts, and the darker one goes through an additional process to naturally darken the color. Having said that.. I could never justify paying these prices, but their ethos is to make really exceptional pieces, and sometimes the end cost is secondary. Visited them two weeks ago, great people.

@americanathreads I love the brand. The IH of Ts - highly recommended and wearing one now (under the new green IH overshirt).
My point was just that the Jeanstore prices seem high but are seem about right (ish)compared to importing direct from Japan.
Personally I am not paying 600 for a brown sweat (particularly with the IH drops coming up) but I like that they offer this hyper niche stuff for those that want them (Niche heavy X Fox Fibre X Iron Mordant!). I did buy a Fox T and not found it in rotation.
