I think you’re mixing up loopback and loopwheel.

Loopback is the traditional terry.

Loopwheel is the terry made by loopwheeler that is made on traditional tsuriami machines and has a higher gsm/tighter weave/heavier

You're absolutely right. My bad saw loopback and thought loopwheel

@Jbidwal pigtail crew coming next season. I actually didn't cop the cardigan because I would rather wait for thus.

Which one of the several of y'all daredevils bought the overcoat at final sale...that's one risky move--sizing on that thing looks waaaay to difficult
I agree on the sizing which is why I cant pull the trigger. I was hoping some people have some to hear their opinion on the fit.

Yes I was. JE site has the standard Kake labeled as “Kake pullover” while Mr. P has it labeled as “Kake loopback cotton jerseyL. That’s why I got confused.

I understand what loppwheel is. But I got them confused due to Mr. P. They charge $230 for the Kake while JE has it for $198. But the 30% off at Mr. P actually made it a little over $10 cheaper than with the 20% JE discount.

I’d love to own a pair of loopwheel sweatpants eventually but I prefer the ebisus over Escobar’s.
