Let's Try the World's Heaviest Hoodie

Check out Wonder Looper: wonderlooper.com/collections/all
btw this video isn't sponsored and I didn't even get a free shirt, I just think this is a very cool project!
Note I'm 6 feet and 188-ish pounds, I'm wearing a Medium at 2:44. I normally wear Large, you can see the Medium is pretty fitted on me.
Bahzad is 163-ish pounds and in a Medium at the 2:55 mark.
At 12oz per square yard, the t-shirt is a double heavyweight shirt because it's twice as thick as a heavyweight shirt from anyone else. The hoodie is just under 21oz.

[@davidreyes6690]

Can't wait to get my hands on some Wonder Looper product!

[@Iskaral_Pust]

I love the idea and the guy seems really cool. $125 for a t shirt and $342 for the hoodie just prices me out, though. I'd be willing to go something like $80/$150

[@kyleshackelford]

Try Freenote Cloth. $75 Tee that's even thicker then the Wonderlooper tee. And they have a sweatshirt that's $150 and it's also thicker then Wonderlooper sweatshirt.

[@orlog3343]

@@kyleshackelford neither of the freenote garments are thicker and he literally explains it in the video how it’s measured by GSM not oz per sq yard

[@Cmez872]

Agree, best wishes on the launch for this guy. If peeps will drop $300 for Iron Heart flannel shirts, they’ll do the same for these $300+ Hoodies and the cheapest one is sold out.

well they're that durable i'm sure you'll be able to get a second hand one eventually!

That’s so cool. Hope I can source some of these in Ireland. Thanks for sharing.

[@guynamedjohn69]

I love the embroidery! I have 3 only because they don't have more colors 😂 I don't need a hoodie that thick in Florida 😭

[@austinfletcher6375]

You’re looking great, Nick. Hope you’re doing well

[@julienholmgren1543]

I received a Wonder looper sweater recently; it's still too warm here to wear it so I just tried it on once to make sure it was the right size and it looks fantastic. They're quite hard to find and sell out quickly.

[@brunonjezic6208]

Sweatpants with belt are actually really cool idea, i love it

[@Jasons_Argo]

I hope you know a good seamstress Nick, because you looked mighty ripped while putting on that t shirt! Does anyone else get a DBZ vibe listening to them talk about the shirts though? I just picture someone taking the hoodie off and throwing it down where it lands with a metallic “thud” as it dents the floor. Bahzad, you should market it like that in Japan!!!

[@shirayasha]

That shirt fit on you is perfect

[@Stridewise]

It felt really uncomfortably tight but it looks good in the video so I have no idea what size to purchase haha

[@treysmith8410]

Nice review of the sweater keep it up!

[@Stridewise]

wore it today! hoping it'll soften haha

[@amBullseye]

I got the 701 gsm crewneck and French terry is just OK of a fabric. It's used in a lot of sportswear, but it's not super soft nor very warm. The Strike Gold loopwheeled sweater is much softer, also very heavy. Slightly less than this one, but cheaper. I am a bit disappointed, but I do like the colour. Still wearing it for longer to make my final decision

[@df540148]

That's the thing. Yeah, these are heavy AF, but are they soft, comfortable? I can understand wanting sturdy denim, waxed cotton jackets, leather jackets; but when it comes to knitwear, comfort should always come first.

[@tonysoprano4883]

i believe Merz B Schwanen makes a 14oz cotton t-shirt. 380 gsm. really nice

[@MxMattieRose]

Is there a video where you sort of lay out your philosophy about clothing? Or like a primer on what you look for in your fashion selections. I look at selvedge denim and its high price tag, and none of it really makes sense to me. And I don’t really “get” the appeal of a heavy tee shirt or hoodie, at least not to the extent that I get leather jackets and footwear.

[@Stridewise]

Good idea, i've been thinking about doing a video like that! i like lighter clothes in the winter but when it's not warm, i definitely appreciate the 'protected' kind of filling you get from thicker clothes. kinda makes you feel very ready for the world, like you have a little layer of armor! i definitely get that it's not for everyone though

[@danielirvine7468]

I just checked in Australia that’s a $460 hoodie currently 😩how am I gonna get this past the CFO ( wife)

[@nicolaszamudio8699]

Not gonna split hairs about a 150 dollar shirt when I’ve got 600 jeans on, if they had a fox fiber exterior sweater or T-shirt I’d buy, just holding out for that

[@kevinorr6880]

I’ll go look. If the pricing is reasonable, I will buy. American made AND reasonable is an absolute winner.

[@Atomsk0192]

125 for a regular ass t-shirt. No thanks.

[@mm64030]

being made in made in Japan but western sizes then i assume i would need to order in my normal US size. If im a large in carhartt heavyweight hoodies and medium in carhartt heavyweight shirts then i would assume this would be the same for this brand. Asian sizing is always smaller and this company doesn't offer refunds so how would western person get something that actually fits from this brand ?

[@skandahooligan88]

There's a detailed size guide on their website with length, chest and sleeve measurements for all their sizes.

[@strengthandbulkMadness]

Why do we need thick cotton fabrics? Polyester has come a long way. Polyester fabrics are softer and more comfortable than they were years ago. They don’t fade and can last for years. Polyester/cotton blends are preferred for workwear when it comes down to durability.

[@kingofthenoobs]

They do last for years. Too many years, some might say

[@TheRushilcool]

Whats the point? Is it more durable or better by being heavy?

[@orlog3343]

Warmer and more durable (it’s still just a shirt tho so don’t expect workwear level of durability). It’s more for the charm/uniqueness of the old and rare machines they are made using imo. Nerd stuff

[@TheRushilcool]

@@orlog3343 Thanks for enlightining me!

[@juanpulido6150]

They come too small 😔 need about a 52 chest

[@NickTaylor383]

Seems like a bit of a stunt to me. Too heavy for most. You put a t-shirt on for the warmer weather. Samurai, The Flat Head, Studio D'Artisan do great 'heavyweight' tees which are still breathable and comfortable, and half the price This just seems like it'll be too much to me. Maybe not, I'll have to try one on.

[@jameswoodard4304]

Fyi, as of the middle of 2023, the tees are about $115 and the hoodies $315 USD.

$450 CAD for a hoodie 😂🤦

Cheaper than similar tshirts by Iron Heart and Merz B. Schwanen, totally worth it if you can afford it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kyleshackelford]

Big fan of Stridewise here but why are you saying this is the "World's Heaviest Tee" when other companies make heavier garments? Freenote Cloth has a t-shirt and sweatshirt that are both heavier and cheaper. Merz B. Schwanen has been making a tee for years that's heavier too. Your at least the second heritage clothing channel that has made this claim but it's incorrect. I really do enjoy your videos but it is frustrating to see you make this erroneous claim to your viewership.

[@skandahooligan88]

I have the Merz B heavyweight tee and it's not as heavy as this.

[@justinklein2982]

1) they make everything for midgets; need long sizes. 2) would like to see long sleeve Tee’s in those long sizes. Don’t care about the price.

[@Stridewise]

See I'm in a size too small yet the length is pretty good AND i have a long torso, I really don't know what you mean about midget sizes!

[@justinklein2982]

@@Stridewise Have you bought jeans from Naked and Famous? Their inseam is barely acceptable if you’re 6’1”, but after a wash, not so much. I just assumed they built everything for micro men, but it’s a new company, so fair enough. Still want to see a long sleeve tee in the heavyweight material. Glad to hear they worked well for your long torso.
