Loopwheeler update

[2000dB]

I've been getting a lot of PMs about the stock of Loopwheeler zip-ups, so I figured making a thread would be good. Mods, feel free to move it to supermarket if it's too much business for supershopper.

Loopwheeler just restocked on LW-09 (their classic zip-up model). Here's what they have. X means out of stock!

-------------XS-----S------M----- L -----XL

Black --------------X--------------X----------

Navy --------------X---------------------------

Beige ------------------------------------------

Gray -------------------------------------------

I hope that's sorta clear. I won't put the price here for now (PM or email me for that) just because I don't want this moved to supermarket too quick.

They also have the full zip sweaters, but I was deceived by those. The cut is really odd and while being really soft, they're not as nice as their classic offerings. Also, the zips are just flimsy YKK.

Let me know if you have any questions.

[2000dB]

Yup, unfotunately, but the ones ont the full zip were really worse than usual for some reason.

[Westbrook]

That's a bummer, for 30k Yen they should be something special.

[soultek]

any info regarding availability of their Tshirts? colors and sizes?

[ayn]

fuck! navy out of stock in S already? damnit!

[2000dB]

They had some swiss cotton tees and graphic tees. I'm going today to buy other things, so I'll check more carefully.

[xcoldricex]

might have you get me some of those swiss t's / l/s

2000db - are those stock levels taken from the website, or from the loopwheeler stores in tokyo?

i have family going to japan in the next week and was going to get them to pick me up some stuff, but if there's no S in the LW09, i won't bother asking them to go out of their way.

also, i know there's been some discussion as to discrepancies in the sizing measurements on the LW website...does anyone know if the new revised measurements for the LW09 on the LW website are correct...?

Not saving up for that CCP jacket?

The stocks are taken from the store in Tokyo. I think the website is the same since you have to email the store anyway, unless they have more at their other store.

[xcoldricex]

is there a big difference in the swiss cotton vs. their regular cotton?

yes, i think so at least from wearing them.

Funny, but I think their regualr cotton feels nicer... but then again I'm far from a cotton nerd. I rock rayonne exclusively.

man the cashmere zipup hoodies look nice!

[Oldboy]

^^^^ Whoa, how much are those cashmere zip-ups?

[2000dB]

^^^^ Whoa, how much are those cashmere zip-ups?

115,000Â¥ (975$, roughly)

[xcoldricex]

next time you're there let us know how they are in person - if sendagaya still has them.

I will. Probably be there either tomorrow if I'm not sick again or Monday as I'm "working" Sunday.

[ayn]

I emailed them to see when they'll have a black LW09 in S, they told me they'd restock Jan... Are you still gonna be in Japan in January?

also, let us know how the cashmere ones are like... and please check to see if they have them in S.

Yes, I will still be in Japan at that time if everything goes well.

[ayn]

Nice, I need a Small LW09 in Black...

[super]

ayn, you do know that they changed the sizes right? Old small = new medium according to the LW site

[ayn]

really? when i first saw the post a while back at their blog I asked a friend who could read japanese to translate to me and IIRC the differences were like very small, like .5cm or something... Hmm... I will have to double check...

2000dB: they still got mediums in stock?

[super]

Nah man the difference is more like 2 cm! Check this out:

http://www.loopwheeler.co.jp/notice/res0610.html

The measurements on the left are new this season. as you can see, the pit to pit measurement jumped from 58 to 56 for medium

Was meaning to go today, but I had some waiting in line for other crap (not clothing) and I couldn't make it there... I'm going tomorrow early afternoon fer sure. I don't think the small is the new medium, the medium fitted me pretty snugly and I'm a slim medium/fat small.

my mum got into tokyo today - she picked up the small LW09 in black for me! they had been holding it for me for a couple of weeks. can't wait to try it on when she returns!

[Demronick]

just a small update,

loopwheeler have again restocked their LW-09

however make sure you look at the notice section since they changed the sizing a bit

it's more fitted i think, which is good

time to grab ur LW-09 kids!!

hint hint ayn!

[super]

Ahh they used the LW "Light" fabric instead of "Basic" like they did in the last seaon. Light is noticibly "lighter" than Basic and IMO doesn't feel as good. I had both LW hoodies one using light and the other with basic and the basic version felt a lot better. I'm interested to get a feel of what the LW "Middle" fabric is like...

[nettiemoore]

wow good to know LW has got some more of their zip up hoodies in. i might just have to order one now after looking for one for sometime.

Crap, that sucks. I only bought one again this run cause I wanted a heavier hoody, but in a different color than the LW I already have. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
