Wonder Looper

@edgarallanpoe great summary and comparison. It’s nice to have both fits IMO. The trim fit of the IH is much easier to layer under a jacket but overall comfort goes to the WL (at least for me).

@sabergirl yes, the measurements made me think the XL would be perfect.
In IH denim I like a waist at 35.5” or as close to as possible. I figured that’d be an XL in the WL, but as mentioned, they almost fell to the floor without cinching the waist tie tight.
The L come in at 33.8” and they appear to measure the same way as IH. I guess maybe because th waist has a lot of stretch it works. I’d say the thighs and hips are more generous than my 634’s. At least they feel that way.
If you have a local retailer it might be best to try them on first. Good luck!!

picked up one the tee's. I really like the fit and feel. I sized down one compared to the 1610 and 1600.

I don't own any Wonder Looper (yet?) and just stumbled upon their F/W 2025 preview video on YouTube - some very nice upcoming releases it seems:

@Xavras That's my favorite as well.

Can anyone comment on the French terry pullover sweat? I have 2 of the heavy weight pullover sweats from WL both in M; one is from one of the earlier releases and it's shrunk a little on 30deg washes over the past 2 years and fits perfectly. I picked another up last year and it's shrunk a little since then, but not as much as the first one and I don't know if it's because I haven't washed it much yet or if it's just not going to shrink more.
I'm eyeing one of the French terry sweats now and I don't know if I should go S or M. The M's are a little over sized on me, but with the shrink accounted for the first one ended up fitting really well and the second one seems to be on it's way there but not quite yet
I don't want to get a S and then it shrinks a little over then next few years and becomes to small. Anyone had a French terry through multiple washes who can comment on shrinkage?Edit:
I measured (all measurements are in cm) and compared to the website for WL from the 2023 sweater and the 2024 sweater. I also have a joe McCoys ball park sweater (love the fit on this, the fabric is also much lighter than the WL). The chest on the WL in reality is larger than the website reports. The length is also shorter in general but the sleeve on the 2024 is on point; however, this has become shorter as I used to fold it over and now I don't need to but it's still pretty long.
Summary: WL seems to get shorter in the sleeve and body while becoming wider over time. Great investment piece in that respect as I suspect our bodies tend to to the same
The Joe McCoy fit is perfect, but I think I lucked out on this one because I have seen different measurements on this cut before when checking the used market. I picked mine up gently used on Vinted so I can't comment on how it was treated before I got it.

Have seen these in Jeanstore but they seem seriously overpriced to comparables?

Just picked up two of the new Foxfibre tee's... Should be here tomorrow, I was bummed I missed out last time. I think WL are releasing them tonight on their website too - they'll go quick.
