Sweatshirts (Hoodies, Crewnecks, Loopwheeled, Vintage, etc.)

depending on your body type, check out Reigning Champ & Wings+Horns. if you need something that's cut a bit wider i can find other stuff for you.
http://havenshop.ca is a decent place to start though it looks like they're about to get the new season in.

Well, after a few hours of checking out the links and pics from this thread I end up buying …. a tanner goods belt! At some point this evening my browsing went off on a tangent but no problem as my IHs are badly in need of a good belt and I have a week or two left before Scotland starts freezing over.
Anyway, thanks for the links. There is a shop not too far away which has some Headporter Plus gear so I'm going to go check it out this weekend, will also let me get the perfect sizing if I like what I see.
Thanks,

Sweatshirt wise i still wear are a SDA loopwheel in natural indigo and a Duffer X Oki Ni effort.
Hoodie wise it's now mostly for work, Carharrt(union US made) FUBU,Schott,Hanes. And for play a reversable CP, alongside SI,Stussy and Prada.
Been looking at those heavyweight US ones to replace my Carharrt once is finally bites the dust. Any pics at all?? -
The Real McCoys hooded zips available at Superdenim.co.uk look fantastic if your budget stretches that far. Or look into the Strike Gold equivalent at Self Edge. I have a SG crew neck and really love it.

moykky, i was introduced to loopwheeled items through nike & haven't been able to turn back since. i'll take a few pictures of some items i have in a few days. every year when they drop the new items i always put all the ones i want in my shopping cart under my user name & then come back at the end of the season to see the prices slashed & make my purchases.
they are really dope products

i can't say they are better than new fabrics that are on the market. i can say they are made in a traditional manner, sort of like with selvedge denim & all that other stuff. very old machines & used & it gives the fabric a very interesting feel & look.
**i asked the same question a while ago but it never got responded to
-
i'm pretty sure if you go to the nike website & do a search on loop wheeler/ loop wheeled they have videos ofthe machines in action.
don't have access to that sort of stuff at work, so i can't plug it in here

to me loopwheeled t's/sweats are comfy as hell compared to non-lw stuff.
not that I've handled that many so far but my TFH t's and my SDA sweater are comfy like nothing else I own…so that alone is something for that I would pay a few bucks more in the end...but maybe kiya,giles or even our man foxy could share some light on this!?
MM - i try and see if I can find the post kiya made about this on sufu once...give me a few minutes though!

Lame video but some info may be of interest in this thread.

another random question.
what is the big deal with loopwheeled items? i really don't think they are that soft or warm in comparison to many newer fabrics. now the way items are flatseamed sewned seems to make a big difference in comfort, but loopwheeled or not i have a Nautica sweat suit from over ten years ago that is soo much more comfortable then any loopwheeled item i have. just the design of the Nautica sweat suit isn't that flattering
guess this is kind of a rant as well, oh well need space to get off my bull$hit
here is my kind of related question bagley920, just so you know you aren't alone
