@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.
-
@Denimhead-0 Fit looks great. I got the same two colors. I highly recommend the other ELS slub shirts. I have all but the black and they are so soft. My favorite WL shirts. These dyed ones aren't as soft because of the dye, but will get their after wearing and washing. Their foxfibre tee are great as well.
-
@Nobunaga Are the Foxfiber ones considered to be ELS?
-
@Nobunaga appreciate the insights
-
I really like the way these T’s fit. If they get even softer over time, sign me up.
-
@Chibs Technically, I think they are. I was just referring to how they label their shirts. The recycled ELS slubs are a mix of different ELS cotton so they just call it ELS. If it's a specific type of ELS cotton then they label it by type (e.g Foxfibre, Pima, Suvin Gold, etc.). I think most of their shirts use some kind of ELS cotton.
-
@Chibs These look great on you! I saw in a previous post you grabbed the ringer tees. I'm bummed I passed on those as I didn't realize how light weight those are. Perfect for summer and now they are sold out in my size everywhere. I hope they restock those sooner rather than later.
-
@Nobunaga they are much lighter but fit different in my experience. You may be fine getting a size larger (perhaps those are in stock?). I’m normally a medium but found that size to be too small / tight and went for a large. The large fits a little big on me but way more comfortable.

Can confirm, the ELS (standard) are easily my favorite WL shirts...weight, texture, softness, fit, etc are all perfect for me. I'm just missing the Ecru color...but thats because I have about 300 white shirts already. I'm sure some day I'll convince myself Ecru is different enough and order one of those too.
Haven't tried the dyed version yet, but I reckon one of those might make it into my Ecru order when that day comes...
-
The lightest shade of Foxfibre tee I have is suuuuper soft. It still has a bit of weight to it, but fine for Summer wear (as long as it’s not 95 degrees). I’d say it’s right up there with the Suvin Gold SDA tee I have in terms of softness. SDA is heavier though.

Double Heavy Weight French Terry Sumi Black Sweat Set.
Definitely wouldn’t wear this to the gym, it’s some heavy duty stuff.
-
@Chibs Thanks for the info on sizing. I'm usually a medium so I will likely want to size up as well. In the photos you posted it fits you well and doesn't look big on you. For a summer tee I'd rather have it fit looser rather than have it too clingy.
-
@Nobunaga they’re great shirts. Wonderlooper is great!

I assume most of you are on Wonder Looper's email list but just in case you aren't, they are offering a 10% discount this weekend. Use code "Summer 10" at checkout. They don't have a lot in stock right now, but there seems to be decent stock of the double heavyweight tees and the foxfibre tees. Also, if you live in the US the tariffs for Japan dropped about 10% (from 26.5% to 16.5%). I grabbed a foxfibre iron mordant tee myself and it was still cheaper (even with shipping and tariffs) than US retailers' prices.

Thanks! Do get the newsletter but missed that.
I see what you mean re. stock. Somewhere out there an XS can clean up on sweatpants!

@CosmoSix5 I understand that specific struggle all to well.
