Question - LOGO vs Susan Graver

Stevie Nix — Sat, 08 Apr 2017 17:45:59 GMT

A question for all the LOGO ladies out there. Do you ever buy Susan Graver? I never do because it's polyester. But I'm wondering how Susan's poly feels compared to Lori's rayon/span. Some of Susan's tanks look nice, but I'm afraid they would be hot.

If you have both, please let me know what you think. Thanks.

I haven't purchased her line for the same reason----most garments seem to be 100% poly and I'm not a fan (makes me perspire and goodness knows I don't need any help there particularly in the spring/summer...haha). I also much prefer the look and style of Lori's clothes over Susan Graver. Sorry I'm not much help, @Stevie Nix.

@Stevie Nix I do have some Graver tops. By comparison (liquid knit vs. rayon span) I find the LOGO rayon span to be softer, lighter and more breathable. They both can have the issue of clinging-to and highlighting undergarments and bumps and bulges we would rather not emphasize. There are different weights of the rayon-span and it also depends on the cut of the top. If you are very concerned about the clinging, you may want to try other LOGO fabrics like slub knit, heathered rayon span or the cotton slub.

@aprimo @AZ girl - Thanks for your replies. You have confirmed what I thought to be the case.

@aprimo - I have way tooooo much Logo - I have every fabrication she has made. I like them all. They all have a purpose and a place in my closet and heart!

Thats like comparing apples and oranges as they have few similarities. I occasionally buy a Graver piece but the prices on Logo are riduculous. I'd never pay $70. for a top.

I survived seven West Texas summers, up to 120° one year, wearing Susan Graver and didn't find it hot at all.

You cannot compare LOGO with Graver ... there is absolutely no comparison.... forget about the fabric just compare the styles .... absolutely no comparison at all !!!!

I have several pieces in both lines. I do find them quite different, however, I never feel warm in Susans clothes as they are very light against the skin. Also Logo is quite comfortable. Beware of Susans tanks though, they are quite pretty,but armholes are a big problem. I always have to have them closed in a bit and I am an average size girl. I haven't had that problem with Logo.

I buy from Susan unfortunately I Can Not afford LOGO, but I find Susan clothing very comfortable. I'm in Florida and I do not find them heavy at all.

Yes i have purchased Susans items, I love her liquid knit. I know most think of the 60-70"s but this is great. I like that the backs are not hugging. They are not hot in the summer. I do buy way to much Logo but i cant help my self. I have also put some of Logo tanks under Susans tops and they look great too.

I love the way the Liquid knit does not wrikel at all. I like taking it when i travel. I can wash it and just hang it to dry, you can dry them but i just like to hang them to keep them crisp looking.

I think you should try one and see if you like it. It is really different from back in the days. I know a lot of people just wont buy it because it is poly.

Good luck, hope it helped a little.

@Stevie Nix I have a wonderful susan graver cardigan in liquid knit that I wear when I travel and wear my logo tanks under. I like that it doesn't wrinlke thus great to travel with.

I also have 2 tanks but I don't wear them as much as they are much shorter than logo tanks but again great for traveling. Those are the only 3 pieces I have of SG. The knit is a bit heavier but Not too hot for me in FL.

I like SG butter knit, in the washer and dryer. Easy care, does not wrinkle. It's not hot. They stay nice for years. I buy more if price came down a little. My dress pants are SG Milano knit. Same quality prices.

I don't like logo at all, not right for me. I got 2 tops in the beginning and sent them back. I did not like the seaming.

So true. SG styles are different and wearable. All the Logo stuff looks exactly the same.

I've bought all the Logo I ever plan to own, and that's not a lot.

@SarahW Most of the posters here in the Logo My Favorites Brand forum find LOGO quite wearable.

I have both. Some might find Susan's liquid knit heavy for summer. I love it. I use it for travel a lot because it does not wrinkle. The styles are more conventional though. I also have a lot of LOGO. I love it too and the rayon span and other pieces are very comfortable. They do pill though if you don't take real good care of them. Liquid knit wears like iron and so does butterknit.

This is my problem with it. First of all, I live in a very hot, humid climate. Second of all, my personal internal thermostat seems to be permanently set on "Oh My God It's Hot!" Sometimes no fabric is cool enough for me. But I definitely find Graver's liquid knit (and butter knit) to hold in the heat more than the LOGO rayon/span blends.

@SarahW Of course you are. I can tell by your posts.

I only have 3-4 pieces from each line, so I'm not the best judge. My LOGO pieces are extremely comfortable but they are also very casual pieces that I wear around the house, working out and sleeping. I only have LOGO tops. I consider them fancy t shirts, but they are the most comfortable and colorful t shirts I own. I would never wear the pieces that I own for church, work, or going out for dinner.

I have Susan Graver pieces (skorts, dresses) in liquid knit and butter knit. The fabric and draping is more substantial and in my opinion, dressier. I don't think I could ever wear the SG pieces with sleeves in the summer though. They would be too hot. But, I love her skorts and usually pair them with a sleeveless tank or top.

I think both lines have their places.
