Standard & Strange Loopwheel tees
Hey gang,
I saw these in store and loved the feel, but I'm curious if anyone has any long term experience with them compared to say, Whitesville or Bronson in regards to how they hold up, wash, etc

Hi @sly! The best way to get a good answer is to ask a great question.
Please consider including:
- Reference pictures of things you like or are looking for. The more the better!
- Pictures of you wearing things if you have fit questions.
- A specific budget in numbers. “Affordable" means different things to different people.
- Specific measurements: Chest and waist are far more useful than height and weight.
- Measurements of your favourite fitting clothing. Learning these measurements will go a long way in helping you shop online and secondhand!
- Whether you're happy to buy secondhand.
- Whether you prefer to buy in person or are open to shopping online.
- Your vague location, especially if that limits your options because of customs or access to stores. A country or continent is helpful.
- Timescales: Do you need something urgently, or can you wait for the right thing at the right price?
Also, please use the search function to see if a similar question has already been asked!
I don’t but I’m going to say they probably hold up very similarly, the way they are made means they just won’t be all that different and I’m sure S&S uses good materials
sure, makes sense, haven't wandered into that bracket of shirts yet so thanks!
Bronson T's aren't technically loopwheel IIRC, but the price reflects that (and they're still very nice)
I own a few pairs of these- purely anecdotal- I had what I would consider pretty significant shrinkage on Whitesville, and almost none on these
Cold wash, hang dry etc
Collars have held up well over the last year, and i don't use linen bags or anything
Very comfy shirts
cheers! i was told by the employee they shouldnt shrink, so i appreciate the confirmation
