Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but, any plans for a Pocket Tee?

I don't believe that's been asked. We don't have any concrete plans as of right now. However, we're beginning the process of developing a 100% cotton shirt that'd be similar to Ben's Shirt (in terms of fabric weight/tightness of the knit) but with a more classic length which we may explore a pocket on.

How’s the work on the bottoms coming along? Did you ever decide on a style/fit?

We did. We're developing two styles. The first will be a slimmer fitting pair followed by a looser style to go along with new hoodies and sweatshirts we're working on for the fall.

The first sweats will pair more with what's currently on the site. I'll look for a picture of the first fit sample to post here. It's not dialed in yet, but should give you an idea of the style/fit.

I'm not sure if you're referring to ounces in your question as linear ounces or oz/yd2. However, the heavier weight Supima style will be roughly 11oz's linearly or about 6.5 oz/yd2. To put that into perspective, for people who have some stuff from us, our french terry is roughly 18oz's linearly and our Supima/Micromodal blend is around 7.5oz's linearly.

The goal with the heavier weight Supima wasn't to make the heaviest shirt we could. It was to interpret the vintage heavyweight style through the brand's lens and come out with a shirt that was both substantial and comfortable so that you'd want to wear it daily. That's reflected in the yarn choice, the weight, and ultimately the silhouette.

Following up on this. Below is a picture of the first fit sample we did of the sweats. They're not dialed in and the fabric is PFD (prepared for dye) meaning the color isn't representative of anything. These were strictly a sample made for fit.

The crotch is going to be brought up a bit and the thigh will be brought in. The pockets will be adjusted and they'll be a drawstring added. With all that said, I'm hoping this gives an idea of what the first style is going to look like.

They look great. Main thing for me will be the butt sag.

Noted. That's something I'll make sure we're paying attention to.

100% - I have a few pairs I paid 300+ for and they get no wear because they look sloppy. Lulu lemon seemed to have solved for this so it’s definitely possible

Which pair of Lululemon sweats do you feel like nailed this?

I have a feeling it might be the material blend rather than the cut.

I've had the sag issues with all my JE and Reigning champ sweatpants but never with lulu. Unfortunately lulu give off a different vibe though.

well, lulu is going to have some / a lot of poly, which will retain better. that's probably why.
