Reddit mentions of Naked & Famous Denim Men's Crew Slim Fit Navy Vintage Double Knit Sweater

Hey guys, I wanted to share my impressions of this sweater that I bought in the recent Amazon sale. The description on Tate and yoko says that the fabric is loopwheeled, but I am positive that it isn't. Side seams are present on both the torso and the arms, so the tubular knit that is classic of loopwheeled sweaters is absent. Additionally, no mention of loopwheeled fabric is present on the description attached to the sweater. Those comments aside, the fabric is phenomenal. It is light and really does feel "airy" and incredibly soft. It is pretty thin, Tate and yoko says that the weight of the fabric is 10 oz, so it'd be a great fall/spring sweater. The fabric looks very slubby and has a beautiful vertical streakiness to it due to the uneven dyeing. I'm not sure exactly what the process is, but I didn't notice any obvious crocking, so I don't think this will fade to any measurable degree in the short term. In terms of fit, I sized up because people said that the length is very short and barely hits the waist. I found the exact opposite to be true, it's absolutely massive, so much so that I'm exchanging for a size down. I'm sure that it would shrink if given a hot wash, but I'm reluctant to try that.

Overall, I think the sweater is a great value and for $24, it's a steal. Unfortunately, it's not loopwheeled, but there's a reason that true Japanese loopwheeled sweaters are listed for such a high price.
