The Loopwheel Pocket Sweatshirt in Black is the latest fabric replicating the same slubby yarn texture found on their No. 8 Slub Nep T-shirts. These have a somewhat dry and rugged feel on the exterior, and a nicely brushed fleece on the interior. Nevertheless, the sweatshirt is still an excellent soft and comfortable piece (despite the description of a dry-rugged feel). Notable with these pocket sweats are the cropped body and relaxed fit on the body, an excellent nod towards those who are embracing a fuller fit on their clothing these days. These are made on loopwheeler machines and have no side seams.
Note: Runs TTS for a slimmer fit (that is still somewhat roomy due to the relaxed cut of these). However, if you have a long torso or prefer something with more length, you may need to size up one. Please double check measurements. These are one-washed so they should not shrink that much further, but if you use machine dry on high heat, or for prolonged periods you may experience additional shrinkage.
Model: 6'0" and 175 lbs (currently closer to 170 lbs) wearing size 4 | XL (two sizes up from TTS, M) for a roomy and comfortable fit. Model can also wear size 3 | L that is still comfortable, but has a slightly more slim fit, relatively speaking (still has a roomy fit). Model could go with either size 3 or size 4, but generally prefers the 3 for a slightly slimmer fit, however the length is a little more cropped than desired.
