Nike Loopwheeler Sweaters?

[persiafly]

Anyone gimme a scoop on these? I got one as a gift and had never seen or heard of them. The price tag says $210 but it doesn't really seem like anythingtoo special. Why the crazy price?

the answer is in the name

a loop wheel, is one of those old school machines they actually use to make clothing back then

because of the way that this sweater is made, they can only produce so many a day, i think it takes about 2 hours to produce one hoodie/sweater, thereforeabout 20 a day, which is not many all things considered

and because of the way it's made, the cotton is supposed to actually be softer


google it, there is more info out there

When the garment is made, the threads are not held tight (like when you pull a string to it's fullest length with your hands) but rather there is slack (orlack of tension) which adds to the softness of the material.

how do these fit?
i've bought nike sweaters in the past and i've had to get a size up certain occasions..

They run a bit small and they will shrink if dried ... go a size up and hang dry ... do not dry clean!!! They feel like the bomb and they are extra warm
