@Chibs How are the fit and measurements with the newer one washed version compared to the previous ones? I got a dune zip hoodie in medium last year and it fits me a bit oversized. I haven't washed it yet and heard that it can shrink quite a bit if needed. I was thinking of sizing down to a small, but wasn't sure if the newer one washed versions were a bit smaller in reality. Looking at the measurements on their site, the measurements look the same as the previous non-washed version so wasn't sure at what point in the process the washing was occurring (i.e. fabric stage vs post-production).

@Nobunaga my new Sumi medium is actually a bit larger than my rust one from last year in the same size. I’m a nerd so I measured them both when I got home. 🫨
Been working at my desk all day in the double heavyweight set.
-
@Chibs Thanks! This is really helpful. I'm definitely gonna size down then. The all sumi set looks great. I was initially gonna grab a couple of sweatpants in the fleeced foxfibre when they drop but now I'm thinking about grabbing at least a pair in the double heavyweight. I have superlooper sweatpants and love them so definitely want to try the other fabrics/weights.
-
@Nobunaga happy to help. The souperlooper feel closer in weight to regular joggers. The Double heavyweight feel waaaaay heavier in such a good way. Definitely recommend trying a pair.
-
@Pointman yeah man - I visited about a year ago. It was great. It’s definitely an office / stock room kind of space, but there’s tons of stock to check out and hear about projects in the works. Bahzad and Risa are both great and made it a really enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely go back next time I go to Japan.
-
Grabbed the Burgundy. Regretted not getting the Superlooper Burgundy last time and was wondering about waiting for next spring when I think Burgundy returns but all this talk of Double Heavyweight and the way it drapes better made me think I need to jump on this one. I am blaming @Chibs @CosmoSix5 and the IH forum more generally.
-
@will6er any time friend!
-
These new releases are killing me. Another WL on the way. James Dant has had the new double heavyweight loopwheel live since noon.

@WithBongInHand me nabbed a sumi black hoodie
-
@CosmoSix5 nice! This is my first hoodie from them so I’m pretty jazzed. I own 3 double heavyweight t’s that I really love.

I made it out to the Yokohama showroom a few days ago. @americanathreads, you are correct. Bahzad and Risa were both super warm, welcoming and excited about what they’re doing. I picked up a few shirts. Tried on a hoodie but I live in Texas and they’re mostly overkill for my climate. Got to try some upcoming stuff and hear about other things. I spent way more time chitchatting with them about life and industry than I did shopping. If you’re interested in WL or just curious about some quality T-shirts, well worth arranging a visit. Also, don’t sleep on Yokohama. Seaside town that’s basically a seaside suburb of Tokyo where people go for the weekend. It’s great. Spend the day there or longer. Didn’t take any pics. Sorry.

@WithBongInHand nice that's my favorite color from them, though sumi is always safe but interesting at same time. And imo they really nailed the purple super looper.
-
Grabbed a Double Hwt french terry Sumi pullover to see what all the hype is about. Sized down cause they look big,
-
@moskiitto 100% nailed that purple. Best shade of purple!! Only regret is not buying the pullover hoodie in that colour. I got the sweatpants and zip up hoodie though.
@Denimhead-0 The hype is real. Which colour did you pick?
-
-
@Chibs Black
-
@moskiitto Good to hear
-
@Chibs Ended up grabbing the sweatpants in sumi. Found them for a good price. Waiting on the sumi zip.
