Pullover Hoodie Fleeced Foxfibre® - Oatmeal

This one comes around once a year, and it has never lasted. We know it, our customers know it, and the people who missed the last drop have been checking since. Part of that is simple: some fabrics read soft in a photograph and arrive softer, and the brushed-back fleece here is squarely in that category, which is why the brand calls these the most comfortable pieces it makes. The weight still lands at 345gsm, or 10.2oz per square yard, so none of that comfort comes at the expense of substance. Where it does come from is the yarn. The outer face is recycled organic cotton, and the way it is recycled is unusual in its own right: most recycled cotton is collected as scrap during fabric production, while this is gathered at the yarn-spinning stage, which leaves longer, fluffier fibers intact and puts that loft into the hand of the finished knit.

The inside is Foxfibre®, Sally Fox's life's work, organic cotton bred to grow in its own color so it never needs dyeing, and bred with enough staple length and strength to spin yarn that can carry a garment this heavy. Very little naturally colored cotton can do that, which is why you see Foxfibre® in tees and almost nowhere in fleece. That is the face brushed back and left against the skin. Wonder Looper knits the pair in Wakayama on circular machines, then builds the hoodie with a double-lined drawstring hood, a kangaroo pocket, raglan sleeves, ribbed side panels, ribbed cuffs and hem, and flat seam construction that keeps the joins smooth.

Fit Notes: This is considered an athletic fit, which reads to us as a roomier, more American cut. It's not often we see Japanese brands with that sort of cut, but the Wonder Looper owners built this brand with specifically that in mind. The medium fits him, but he prefers the roomier nature of the large. The hoodie variations of this fabric fit between a half size and full size bigger than the crewnecks. Tommy is our standard fit model at 5'9," 160lbs with a 41" chest. His typical North American size is medium and Japanese size is large. 

Please note that this garment has not been pre-shrunk, and the sizing has been adjusted to account for shrinkage. In our testing, even after hot washing and machine drying to achieve maximum shrinkage, the body and sleeves shortened by only 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 inches). Your results may vary depending on your washing and drying methods.
