@akohut I like both the L and the XL sizes I have. I prefer the L for a fitted look (see my post here) which I can wear under my shirts or just as a T-shirt, or the XL for a relaxed, oversized look (see OP at the top) which I tend to wear with shorts or under a hoodie.
I have no idea what my measurements are; I go off my current clothing that fits well. Take a T that fits you well at the moment and compare to WL's sizing, which can be found on any of their product pages. Be sure to measure the same way they do when comparing; they do not do the shoulder measurement in the same way Iron Heart do, for instance. Below is how WL do it.

@EdH thanks for this. i know for sure the L will work. just trying to figure out if the XL will be comically large. i don't have many oversized t-shirts, so that's why i was going by measurements. chest/shoulders will work i think, but more worried about the length
-
@akohut Yeah, they have plenty of length. I'm 178cm and the XL almost completely covers my butt at the back.
-
See they are just about to release a triple heavyweight t shirt - 17 oz evidently. Got a couple of their double heavyweight t shirts which are great but this is another beast entirely.
-
Question: how are the double heavyweights in terms of stretch?
The reason I ask is because I have a SDA Suvin tee that fits on the slim side for me. The fabric has a great feeling hand, but it doesn't have much give to it and because it's a bit too small, it ends up being too restrictive.
@EdH I see that you can wear them in two sizes, which makes me wonder if these shirts are more forgiving? I love a tee that shows off a bit of muscle, but not if it's making me feel claustrophobic.

Probably my favourite T Shirts. I got all the regular colors except for black (grey, a couple of whites, kaki, green and graphite). Also got their fox fiber one, but that one is much lighter. Dont have ani IR T shirts to compare but def much beefier than any other I own (rite stuff 9oz, UES supima etc. ) Washed multiple times, no shrinking, not much wear and tear visible. Overall bulit like a tank. There are 700g tripple heavy weight coming in a couple of days, but those are probably equivalent of a 25 oz jeans and not for everyone. Also they are double the price.
had to get their hoodie and sweater (french terry ) and they are absolutely amazing also.
forgot sizing... I am XL in IR shirts and XL in most japanese brands. L/XL in 3 sixteen... I got L in Wonder Loop everything and it fits right, like XL in IR.

@popvulture - these wear pretty big but you don't get much stretch in my experience.
-
Thanks y’all! Yeah I guess I could sorta frame my question compared to IH denim. 21oz is soft enough that if it’s a little too tight, it’s still doable. Too tight XHS, though? Punishing. I think I’d definitely want to go with the XL, because in general I’d say tees under 22” P2P tend to be too small for me unless they’re kind of light and stretchy.
-
@popvulture A bit stretchier than IH's 11oz, if you have one of those for comparison. I prefer the more fitted size L than my grey XL. They stretch out around the P2P measurement no problem, which is where I need it, but I think would struggle with them digging into my pits with a size M.
-
@EdH Thanks for sharing.
I'd be interested to see this compared to the lady white co Rugby Tee.

@cbmyles I have the French Terry double heavy weight zip hoodie. It’s HEAVY feeling like a blanket, which I love. The Waldes zipper is a nice touch.
My only complaint, (really not a big one but sort of) is that the knit they used on the cuffs and hem don’t really match the heft of the rest of the garment, if that makes sense.
-
@cbmyles I think you’re right.
I own the IH zip IHSW-11 and the arms and body is significantly trimmer. I’m an XXL in the IH and Large in the Wonderlooper (for your reference).
-
24.4 in a L looks big for the sweatshirts. Is that because it will shrink?
-
@ler224 , in one of their recent videos I believe they said they will shrink about 2% but that you can get most of that back by gently stretching the fabric back out. I have not seen any noticeable shrinkage in my Double Heavy Weights. I wash them in cold, no spin, no tumble dry. The draw back is it take days to dry out lol
-
Anyone know how the sleeves on the WL pullovers compare to the IH pullovers? I have an IH and love it, but my one complaint is that the sleeves are too tight for my liking. I don't have big arms so that isn't the issue. The issue I have is that I like to push my sleeves up from time to time and the IH sleeves just aren't cooperating with that.
-
@edgarallanpoe the sleeves are much more relaxed by comparison.
I have two of the double weight French Terry hoodies and one double heavy weight crew sweatshirt and they are both quite generous in the way they wear.
-
@edgarallanpoe here are a couple of fit pics. I’m 6’2, 180 lbs wearing size large in the hoodie and XL in the Crew.
