Wonder Looper
-
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.

Did they just restock Super Looper recently? Looks like it’s not listed in the future restock section on their site, and some retailers still have some big and small sizes. I figure it must be the case.
I’m super intrigued by the double heavyweight and am feeling a very itchy trigger finger, but I’m afraid I’d just roast in it. Owners — is it nice and warm, or really f’n hot?

@popvulture Super Looper is a SS release. What you’re seeing is the few leftovers. I suspect they will restock in the spring. Likely with a few new colors!
-
@WithBongInHand thank you! I might just wait til spring then. Or might not
Does anybody in the thread own any Andersen Andersen stuff? I have the heaviest gauge option in both, and they’re toasty as hell, especially the AA. Is the double heavyweight warmer than that? I think it’d be a no for me if so.
That fabric looks so awesome. I wanna make it work haha…
-
@popvulture I can’t comment on weather or not it will be too warm for you but for me, it’s not overly warm. I can have it on in room temp and I’m fine. It’s warm if I layer over it but not as warm as the weight would imply. Very heavy compared to any other hoodies I’ve tried including IH.
-
@Chibs thank you! I have IH hoodies and love them, and they’re a good benchmark for heavy but not insane. I could def go a bit heavier.
I have a fleeced foxfibre crew in charcoal heather and love the fabric, but it’s too big, so I’ll def size down. I’ll prob post the crew for sale soon and get a new one when they come out.
-
@popvulture the IH one I have is fleeced and very warm in the inside. I usually take that off indoors. The WL is not as soft or fleecy on the inside.
-
Yeah tbh I prefer the feel of a loopback interior
-
This is a great video if you're new to foxfibre, it's organically grown and is the natural colour of the cotton, it's expensive but it's pretty cool what Sally is doing and I like that a lot of brands are supporting her work.

@popvulture See here info on 27ss superlooper colors, timestamp 34:02
-
I just made it home from work travels to find my new hoodie waiting for me. Oh man is it sweet. I think I nailed the fit.
-
@WithBongInHand Got the same one - same fit! (Looks great on you!)
