These feel great! They were nice and snug at the waist after a hot soak, warm gentle wash and a hang dry. Wore them without a belt for a day and they molded perfectly. These are easily my best fitting pair of denim and I only see them getting better.
Do NOT buy a Wonderlooper product if you value your bank account. Not because they are not worth it. But because you will start with one and end up with a dozen. My WL obsession is second only to my IH obsession. I put them in similar company in terms of their obsessive passion for the quality of their materials and construction. I did overspend for an iron mordant fox fiber hoody last year, and even I will say that cashmere hoody is crazy town. That being said, I highly highly recommend anything of theirs in fox fiber, and their Superlooper hoodies. Their t-shirts are good, but their sweats are next level good.

@rasta Did it loose much indigo after first wash?
Maybe a bit, she definitely doesn’t get as much attention as she should. Too many hoodies in the rotation!
caught an XL at Iron Shop Provisions, thought I'd missed out on this one.
While I do have some beloved TFH clothing items, my favorites are my TFH leather and silver. Too warm for the jacket now, but this is my ride or die EDC wallet, chain and belt loop.
Eagle head wallet chain
Semi-Aniline leather belt loop (same as their jackets)
Natural Shinki Shell mid wallet
These are amazing chairs. I picked up a V2 awhile back, amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail.
These are getting maximum rotation time while the weather is still nice and cool. Breaking in nicely, I only notice their weight when they are going on or coming off.
Received mine today in XL, fits similarly to my other two IH mechanic shirts in the ripstop, but feels slimmer and drapes a bit different due to the heavier fabric weight. Big fan.
slept on the purples but managed to find an XL at James Dant today and couldn't resist.
pulled the trigger on a pair of these. My first pair of 888, the slubby selvedge and OD. Perfect time to try all three.
@americanathreads said in Wonder Looper:
@rasta how would you describe the difference between super looper and double heavyweight foxfibre?
The Super Looper is a bit lighter, softer and airier. Really plush and cozy. The double heavyweight foxfiber is a bit rougher and denser, its really comfortable in a rugged "weighted blanket" sort of way. They are both plenty heavy, but the french terry can breathe a bit more than a fleeced hoody so they layer exceptionally well.
One thing that surprised me about the iron mordant fox fiber hoody was the weird patina I am getting. Hard to notice in pictures but it does actually develop some interesting patina.
I have a pair of IH-634D, but this will be my first pair of IH denim. Can't wait!
I can see the potential from my pre-soak try-on. These are going to be mint once I get them dialed in.
Copped. This month is going to hurt.

@Dmart Same! It goes really well with denim and it’s so rich in person. Fucking addicted to WL. Going back for iron Mordant RN!!
Haha
You will love it. The shirt is even darker than the hoodie for some reason. I ended up getting all three color shirts and they all seem pleasantly darker in person compared to the pictures online.
Indeed, great choices, I picked up the same two. These were my first of their ELS shirts and they are surprisingly breathable despite being 9+oz, nice slubby texture too. Its kind of crazy how different all their tshirts are. They can all vary pretty drastically in texture, weight and breathability.
It softens up a lot. I have one from last season and it's got 1 wash. I was surprised how much it's soften up with a wash and some wear. It's a nice lighter sweat shirt.
@AskAxel said in Samurai Jeans:
@americanathreads I would recommend just wearing them. I also bought a one-washed pair and have about 5 days of yard work wear so far and they're breaking in nicely.
Did you go TTS?
Same experience with my pair of the one-wash. My pair had an abnormally tighter waist than it should have, but a couple of wears in and it's giving a little. Rest of the fit is on the baggier side, aside from the waist. I went 36 based on posted measurements, I usually wear a 35-35.5, these felt like they were around a 34.7. Looking forward to breaking them in.
