Wonder Looper
-
@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
-
This brand is legit.
I have a pair of their double heavy weight sweat pants (25.8oz) and double heavy weight hoody in Sumi black. Quality is right up there, heavy but it actually really breathes well. Somehow and I don’t know how but the 25.8oz sweat pants stay up on my hips without braces or a belt. Love the open none elasticated cuffs too -
I'm a big fan of the black fleeced fox fibre. Perfect for training.

I got my Super Looper before launch and made a quick YT short!
-
Quality combo!
-
These guys are definitely going from strength to strength. I’m still yet to get a super looper hoody, I already have the double heavy weight but still have the need for a lighter weight version. I saw a new YouTube post pop up about a cashmere version too, i might also check that out
I sometimes run their live streams in the background whilst doing house work.Looking as stylish as ever Chris

…. And I just saw the price of a cashmere hoodie. Whoa, I’m out.

I was tempted but then I thought … wait … I could buy like 4 UHF’s for the same price

@Rustygate37 according to the shop owner where I got my Super Looper, it’s completely luxurious, amazing feeling and worth it. He saw the original baby Kashmir in person. Wish I could find out for myself but.. @Brandrea thats 5 iH Flannels and an 11oz T-Shirt. 🫨
-
@Chibs I’m hearing you and I’m sure it is amazing stuff.
But….. I regularly question my sanity with pricing when buying an item from Iron heart and with around 30+ pieces already and another 5 more in my sights I’m clearly nuts.
But $2k for one hoody is right up bonkers, even for me -
And to be fair my IHSW-10-BLK is that damn good that im happy to wear the hell out of that.

I see @Rustygate37 you were not aware of the price. You don't just casually check out their full cashmere products, you need to be ready for a battle
That product will still extremely fast, it is basically in similar territory as NF 40oz jean, superlatives.

@moskiitto I have no doubt that it will sell well. Not for me though thanks. Loving what they do and always appreciate when a brand pushes the boundaries.
Not aware of anyone’s 40oz jeans, sounds painful though. -
I’m sure it’s incredible stuff, and trust me, I’m the wrong person to comment on whether it’s worth it. I’ve paid more for some things that are probably half as nice
.In all seriousness, the one thing that gives me pause is the pilling. I’ve never owned anything in cashmere that didn’t exhibit this after a while. To my mind, a hoodie is a piece I just want to throw on and forget about. Obviously YMMV
-
@moskiitto Terrible scenario. How dare you take 2 of my 3 favourite hoodies away! Glad I don't have to decide.
I'll try and revisit this question in the upcoming review though.
-
@Brandrea Great point! I didn't even consider this. To be honest, if I splurged on this it would be worn so sparingly I probably wouldn't be worried about pilling.
IDK, this stuff gets put on such a high mental pedestal it almost defeats the intended purpose. I wanted to get an IH 21oz apron last summer but flip-flopped until they were sold out and missed my chance. I thought I might not want to get it dirty so I wouldn't end up using it the way I use my old apron. Completely silly. I brought that up here recently and Goosend replied with "It can be washed as any other denim can…" I realized how idiotic I was being. But then again, said apron doesn't cost 2800 Canadian dollars!!
-
@Chibs slept on the apron myself! Hope to see them return one day. They look super crisp new but of course will age into something more beautiful and interesting. It's easy to have that museum preservation instinct with certain pieces but good to have that challenged
-
... I'll stick to my foxfibre tee's instead of babycashmere
-
@Rustygate37 thanks mate. I too am not able to spend the money rare NF/Wonderlooper drop. Their last Made in Japan were almost $900. All fox fiber cotton, hand dyed in japan, shell cordovan patch. I about passed out hitting the pay now button for my XHSib lol
