Has anyone seen/tried on the shawl collar tiger fleece hoodies? I'm curious, but would prefer to see a fit pic before ordering.

I'm thinking about selling my S/S 09 Tiger Terry W+H hoodie, gonna go for a cardigan instead. It's a size medium, perfect condition, if anyone's interested hit me up.

Apparently, I deleted the thread. No idea when or how. But I do let my 2 year old moderate sometimes, and maybe she didn't like the beanie or something.

Anyway, got my shipment from Wings+Horns today. The Diamond henley is a nice, slim, fit. The MK2 jacket fits well, slim through the body and arms. Not quite as slim as the sample (which would have been a size 37), but slim. I'd say that the medium fits like a 38 (as it should). The arms are quite slim, so when I wore the diamond henley underneath it, I had to .

Lastly, and totally underrated, the cotton/cashmere toque (that's what it says on the order form, go Canada!) which I bought on a whim, fits terrifically. I have a hard time finding toques that don't make my noggin look stange, and this one is nice and thin and does not distort the shape of the head at all. Plus, super comfortable. Maybe this winter, my ears will actually have a chance of not freezing.

The jeans fit very slim this season. The rise is considerably higher than for previous seasons (including SS09), and the waist measures as the marked size, which means that my size 31s are super tight at the waist. The legs seems to be tighter in the thighs as well. The hem, however, has been relaxed somewhat, which is nice.

I just tried on the heather gray L/S static crew neck in size XS. Unlike the olive colored one with its comically small neck opening (which I bitched about previously), the heather gray's neck opening is both wider and stretches far more easily. I had no problems getting my neck through the opening on the first try.

So either all the olive colored ones have tighter necks, or my olive shirt was manufactured incorrectly. Not sure. Although I cannot help but think the olive shirts didn't quite turn out as intended. The gray shirts have this great textured pattern, while the olive is so dark it almost looks like black and thus the interesting pattern of the static jersey fabric is nearly lost. If the olive was a shade lighter, I suspect it would look much better.

I see Context put their FW09 W+H items up on their web site yesterday. And they ordered all sizes, including XS!

However, I was disappointed to see they didn't order very deep into the collection-- only the hunting cardigan, thermal henley, and a scarf. What's up with that?! No confidence the stuff will sell?

Hey Fok, can you comment how thick is the diamond henley? I'm guessing its not as thck as the shawl pull overs from previous season?

Normally I'd be really pumped about a site ordering XS sizes but weirdly enough Small (in the zip cardi at least) fits me perfect this season.

the body is a little short. It's a very thick fleece, almost like a jacket, and fits very slim. I'm a 34" chest and a Small fits great.

I was told that they are expecting two more shipments of W+H so that's not nearly everything they are getting. No scoop on what they have coming in, but they told me that it should be online soon.

They were pretty fitted. I ended up going with the XL and returning the L for a WWM BD Flannel. Did you end up keeping the black one?
