I've been holding out on the Kake for so long now, but this has convinced me. Any ideas on pricing? I'm assuming around 300?

I thought you were right for sure on the sunglasses haha. although i guess thinking about it, it's about to be the middle of December so maybe some sunglesses rn wouldn't make sense lol.

Anyways, I always see ppl raving about the loopwheel... you guys really think it's worth?


I just wore mine yesterday.

I think if you have to ask, then no it will not be worth it to you. Sort of a cult fabric/denim nerd thing IMO

I love my JE loopwheel escobars and dual-zip (wish my grey dual-zip had the silver zips like the new raglan!). The terry is very thick and plush and is really warm; can't wear the sweatpants in the summer at all.

Got my float knit and Sashiko tee in yesterday
The float knit is definitely my new favorite sweater.
Sashiko tee is probably one of my favorite pieces. I was able to use the VIP code on top of the flash sale and I wish I got all 3 colors. You could tell a lot of time and effort went into the stitching, it's very uniform and consistent and there's no puckering/tight stitches, and no loose ones either, definitely a stand alone tee for me.

Might have to pick up those grey loopwheel escos


We call them the Ebisu Sweatpants, and along with the Raglan Fullzip are a new style debuting with the Loopwheel Capsule. The Ebisu are slightly more relaxed in fit that Escobars, but still are tight at the ankle. We'd consider them a semi-fitted cut.

^ It is thicker and softer than any other terry, and gets better with age. You can read up on the history a bit here, from around the last time we produced a collection with Loopwheel: http://www.acontinuouslean.com/2015/01/19/rarest-sweatshirts-world/
Mike I ended up returning the last Loopwheel Hoodie becuase it didn't fit, I've been wearing a M in the Kake and Raw Edge, and basiclly all the hoodies since Season 7. Should I stay with that size for the Raglan Full Zip?

I'd stay the same size. If the first Loopwheel Flash didn't fit you, this new hoodie is a bit more relaxed, as are the new sweats. I wouldn't call either style "oversized" but they are less fitted than those first Loopwheel styles.
