Wonder Looper

Thanks both! Yeah I’ve got a couple of double heavyweight sweaters and the fleeced foxfibre. DBH are insanely heavy and tough. I just never fully tuned into the super looper product line. So definitely lighter weight, more towel like, and more vibrant colors it seems. Feel like a super looper hoody might make sense, I have crewnecks in the DHW, feel like a hoody would be nearly too warm in a hoody.

@rasta how would you describe the difference between super looper and double heavyweight foxfibre?
The Super Looper is a bit lighter, softer and airier. Really plush and cozy. The double heavyweight foxfiber is a bit rougher and denser, its really comfortable in a rugged "weighted blanket" sort of way. They are both plenty heavy, but the french terry can breathe a bit more than a fleeced hoody so they layer exceptionally well.
One thing that surprised me about the iron mordant fox fiber hoody was the weird patina I am getting. Hard to notice in pictures but it does actually develop some interesting patina.

@rasta That texture looks insane! Thanks for sharing that photo

@Chibs @will6er @americanathreads Thank you for sharing your experiences! I'm planning to visit the Yokohama office in November and grab a double heavyweight hoodie and the sweatpants, so I found this info very useful.

@Chibs 100% Wearing mine right now. Got min the last time around and love the almost slubby feel. My wife just said it looks rubbish with the purple Super Looper zip up I just got...
-
@will6er it’s such a nice tone of brown. My understanding is that it will deepen after washes. That’s pretty cool! Sorry for the low WAF but at least we can both be twinning!!

@Dmart only thing I have from Merz is their wool watch cap but I love that thing! Eventually I’ll try out some T’s.
-
@Dmart Wonder Looper is another level to Merz - at least this ones I have.

@Dmart Same! It goes really well with denim and it’s so rich in person. Fucking addicted to WL. Going back for iron Mordant RN!!
HahaYou will love it. The shirt is even darker than the hoodie for some reason. I ended up getting all three color shirts and they all seem pleasantly darker in person compared to the pictures online.
-
@rasta I actually do love it. Wore it 2 days in a row

@Chibs My first WL purchase, I blame you for falling down this rabbit hole
-
@Denimhead-0 oh man, great choices! Wait until you try double heavyweight hoodies!
-
Indeed, great choices, I picked up the same two. These were my first of their ELS shirts and they are surprisingly breathable despite being 9+oz, nice slubby texture too. Its kind of crazy how different all their tshirts are. They can all vary pretty drastically in texture, weight and breathability.
-
Love their ELS and bought into the hand dye etc Ts. But decided they are too expensive at £160 each and left it this time buying 2x Real McCoys instead. Just checked and UK stores didn't sell through any of the colours.
