@will6er Thanks! I’ve been low key obsessed with WL ever since I got my double heavyweight hoodie. I now also have 2 double heavyweight T’s and a long sleeve double heavyweight. Just washed both of those short sleeve T’s for the first time and had no shrinkage thankfully.
The ringer T’s are more like what you would expect a regular soft t-shirt to feel like. The shoulders on the medium fit me perfect but the chest was too small and the collar dug into my neck. The large I ended up with fits perfect except the shoulders which are larger than ideal. I really dig the fox fibre bits and how they were just grown in that colour. Very cool!
The double heavyweights are a completely unique experience. Sort of like a heavy, tightly knit sweater with no sleeves. Really interesting!

The double heavy weights rock... Worn through the winter over here. You should look at the Fleeced Fox hoodies / sweats. I was put off initially cos the colors are kinda plain but wound up with an outmeal one and its great. VERY soft and the marl is more interesting in real life. I think I prefer it to the double heavy French Terry over time.

I concur...big fan of the Fleeced Fox Fibre. The Double Heavy's are a bit too much for the weather here...so the Fox Fibre is the perfect weight.
Can't lie though, really thinking about trying out the Super Looper which drops later today. Sounds like it sits right between the Double Heavy and Fox Fibre, in terms of weight. Will probably end up giving it a go.

@Brandrea I’ll give one a try, thx!

@Jord I checked one out on Friday when I went to pick up the ringer t. Nice hoody and definitely much less dense than the double heavyweight French Terry. I noticed two things. First is the medium I had on was much smaller and more fitted than my medium double heavyweight. Tried on a large which fit much better.
The second thing was it shed little burgundy bits all over my t-shirt. I’m going to end up getting the purple zip once it drops. I must! Because purple!!

@Chibs Nice! Your tee's look awesome! I think the purple is due to drop later in the season with production issues

My Standard & Strange house brand tee (which appears to be made in partnership with Wonder Looper) has become one of my favorite tees lately. They fit really well (western sizing - can't remember the last time I bought a Large =)), have a nice comfortable stretchiness (and airiness) to them, have a nice taut neckline, while being a great year-round weight (7.75oz). Nice colors too. Got it as a gift with no expectations and it gets worn pretty much every week and goes on most trips with me. The closest fabric comparison I have is the Warehouse 4601 tees - this is close but a bit stretchier and more comfortable.

@Jbailla2 I don't own their shirts (yet) but I have a 20oz Deluxeware sweat and it's fantastic. Much cheaper to buy directly from them and the Wakayama true loopwheel fabric is beautiful. Great value brand and incredible sewing done by in house staff, so I wouldn't be surprised if their tees are comparable or even superior to Wonder Looper
