Loopwheeler - Available online?

[wild_whiskey]

I looked around today to see if I can find Loopwheeler tees/sweaters online and had no luck. Does anyone know of a source?

[Geowu]

I couldn't find it either. It is sold in Selfridges in London, Colette in Paris, and their own store in Japan.

[wild_whiskey]

My superfuture tee is printed on a loopwheeler shirt. It's a damn fine shirt!

[frogeyes]

how are the loopwheeler tee's and sweats? thicker than most?

i did.

so my question again... how thick are they compared to most tees?

[wild_whiskey]

They're pretty thick but very soft, and the collar is really awesome. Their tees have a very masculine fit as well.

I picked one up in Selfridges a couple of years ago... £125 so about $250. (based on pumped up UK prices though !)

I was young and stupid at the time

The T itself is quality like I have never seen before, the one I have is vitrually 2 shirts sewn together it's super-thick.

damn, they look wicked - £125 is steep as everest but!

[frogeyes]

so it's as thick as a sweatshirt? do you feel overheated in it, or fairly comfortable?

[adsurgo]

damn.. i wasnt one of these if theyre so thick

they're not so thick.

it's decent fabric you can feel, not like cheap almost transparent-thin t-shirts.

I hardly wear mine bc it's a bit small.

[AlanT]

As I said earlier mine is almost like 2 T's sewn together so it makes it VERY thick, not sure if this was a different style they ran for a while or something along these lines because it does sound quite different from the others that have been mentioned.

For anyone that is familiar with them it is the 'Loopwheeler Tigers' T that they ran a couple of years back.

I'll try to get a couple of pics up tomorrow and try to show the lining & thickness.

@Frogeyes - The one I have is thicker than some sweaters I have, I live in Scotland so overheating isn't really a problem.

I really doubt that the one that I have is a $200 t-shirt, as it was free. Adsurgo, awhile ago a couple of us got Superfuture tees from Japan. It was a one-time thing and only 10 or 11 were given out.

[adsurgo]

damn. i wish i was on here earlier.

Jack Spade in NYC used to carry Loopwheeler sweats. My friend bought 2 they were around $100 I think, maybe $110? They're very nice, heavy loop back french terry fleece, kind of the weight of a supreme sweat. No side seams either, which is kinda cool, totally tublar like a tee shirt. Just that simple little blue tab label on the sleeve which was nice. I was going to pick up one but the biggest they carried was a Large. They only had them in heather gray as well.

This was a around 3 years ago, not sure if Jack Spade still stocks them.

[frogeyes]

that's a handsome shirt.

[soultek]

Anyone know how to contact them to get a Tshirt made? I need to do a promotional Tshirt run, and I'd like to use them. I tried emailing, but got no response.

[Geowu]

maybe try contacting them in Japanese.

(you could use really simple frases and translate on the Google translator)

[AlanT]

As promised here's a couple of pics of mine, didn't realise that the camera was in low res when I took them so they're not the best and I couldn't really illustrate the thickness very well.

Shows the shape of the t-shirt, cut slightly longer at the back.

Terrible picture of the stiching round the bottom of the T-Shirt, slightly frayed as this was where the label was (at the very lowest point of the shirt) and it really pissed me off.

Any more Q's just shout.

[poly800rock]

where can i get the sweatshirt online?

[wild_whiskey]

I've still been looking into this for awhile and I have tried contacting them as well to no avail. My understanding is that it's a retail brand and not one that sells blanks at wholesale (much to my disappointment, as I'm still in search of the best blank fleece).

I may try and talk to them when I go to Japan this summer.

[showbiz00ditc]

yea the t i got from superfuture is dope. really good quality. that reminds me... i should wear it tomorrow.
