Pullover Crewneck 701gsm Double Heavyweight French Terry - Heather Grey
Wonder Looper - Pullover Crewneck 701gsm Double Heavyweight French Terry - Heather Grey
Wonder Looper set out with one main goal...to create the heaviest circular knits in the world. Well, this is the pinnacle of that notion. This is nearly twice the gsm of the Foxfibre, yet it doesn't feel like this stiff, unwearable garment a lot of people might expect. It reads more like a 3lb sweater you can only get from wool. But it's soft, and not itchy by any means. The French terry is so heavy that you can see the vertical lines almost like it's a corded wale. It really is a miraculous product unlike any we've seen. They call it the double heavyweight because it's double the weight of most knits you see in the industry listed as "heavyweight." This thing pulls no punches and gets all the details right.
The Pullover Crewneck is a modern athletic fit and features a ribbed collar with vintage style inlaid V gusset, raglan sleeves, ribbed side panels, ribbed cuffs and hem, flat seam construction, and is made in Wakayama Japan.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size medium. This is considered an athletic fit which reads to us as a roomier, more American cut. It's not often we see Japanese brands with that sort of cut, but the Wonder Looper owners built this brand with specifically that in mind. The medium fits with a nice amount of room in the chest and hem and plenty of room in the arms. The set-in sleeves also help to give a perfect fit in the shoulder sin almost any size. Tommy is our standard fit model at 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest. His typical North American size is medium and Japanese size is large.
Apparel
Merz has been on our list for quite some time. Can you believe they've been around for 111 years? That's currently our oldest brand! They've stuck around because they do something quite incredible with basics. They stand behind the idea that basics can be something to get excited about. So they create the best and put their iconic branding on just the tags. We're so happy to introduce this German line to our store. In the same way we correlate Japanese production to meticulous attention to detail, we correlate German production to impeccable engineering. We hope you love these super-engineered basics!
Their henleys have the best buttons and clock in at at a super light weight that's built for the hottest summer days. These have the wonderful aesthetic of a visible horizontal loopwheeled line throughout. It's super subtle, so you'll have to look closely. They're so soft that these feel like a henley you've been wearing for years. An original flea market find from 1911 is the template for this "worker button-up shirt". Special attention is paid to the authentic processing of the neckline! The collar is turned over very finely by hand twice requiring incredible skill. This is exactly how the neckline of this shirt was originally processed 100 years ago since comfortable modern edging machines did not yet exist. In addition, the attached button placket made of cotton fabric and the original laundry buttons make this shirt a special eye-catcher.

This heavy loopwheeled tee is the epitome of an easy-going look thanks to its relaxed fit, the fabric’s slight slub structure, and the detailed neckline, which is an eye-catcher in its own right. This piece is special in many ways: the loopwheeled fabric is unique from the ground up, and the slight slub structure adds an even more casual look to it. And while this T-shirt is a serious matter with a weight of 13.4 oz. / 380 grams, it still feels soft, good, and comfortable in every moment! We compare it to the heaviest tee we've ever carried, but as if it's been power-washed to make it easy to wear.
Hawaiian Shirt - Ice Tiger
The Hawaiian tiger shirt is forever going to be a Japanese icon. This proprietary fabric Freenote locked down seems to impress year after year. The mixture of the indigo-dyed linen and that gorgeous tiger print is truly perfect. It's such a rich, royal color of indigo and it gives the instant impression of a white tiger. They've finished this beauty off wtih mother of pearl buttons.
The Alamo Shirt - Tiger Heron
The Alamo is a staple for us nearly every year. When they introduce new colors, we all collectively get a little giddy. This year's central color outlier color is this Tiger Heron. It's a wonderful shade of red that's not too in your face. It is kind of the classic red mechanic shirt color you just know when you see it. The corozo nut buttons always give the piece a nice pop of contrast and the construction never fails. The 1/8" single-needle stitching lends to this military-style silhouette. Luckily, this time you can grab the sturdy but soft cotton Alamo in a color that will hold up for a lifetime.
We really, really love the Dotsume pocket tee...but we know they're not for everyone. It takes a lot of effort, and just the right temperature to put on a tee that heavy. When we first laid our hands on the lighter-weight, USA cotton version of it we knew that it carried the same quality in construction and fit, but a more versatile fabric. This pigment process adds so much character to the shirt and is a special edition for SS23.
This version of the pocket T-shirt is made from cotton which is mainly produced in the cotton-growing area of the Mississippi River basin in the United States. Air spinning produces a cotton fluff with a length of 13 mm to 33 mm which then becomes yarn by centrifugal force. This creates a crisp texture. They also feature traditional details from the 1890s including the oversized pocket and W stitching. The flash gusset on the bottom of the pocket is a special specification that's meant to reduce sweat from moistening the inside of the pocket.
Made in Japan.
