Okay, some more fit pics. I wanted to show how much the layering pieces will stretch after just a single wear. Don't be afraid of those tight fits at first. Also shown is the loop terry hoody in heather, and the zip up tiger fleece shawl in brown. All of these are size mediums. Cashmere to come.

damn dude, ur stockin up aren't you... lol. i like that crewneck a lot. the fit on it looks fine to me. thats charcoal right? the henley looks fine too, the waist might be a bit loose but elsewhere the fit looks fine. did they only stretch around the waist? I returned a S henley recently cuz the sleeves were hugging my arms in a not-so-flattering way.

daaaamn... looks like slack copped literally every single piece from FW10 slack, is that last hoodie the same as THIS one? also, how thick is it (i.e., compared to the tiger fleece)?

His is the heather grey while the one at Context is charcoal. I can't get down with the shrunken-looking seams on the loop pieces, it's very tacky on W+H's part. Looks like I might have to get the chabanel hoodie it's too bad they're not warm at all.

Edit: Slack, I like you man, but what's with the pushing up of the sleeves and the puffing of the chest? Very strange...

Cosign on the layering pieces hugging arms in a not flattering way. If I was muscular like that dude (nh), it would look great but my arms are super skinny.

Blank: jesus man, no online store has them picked up in navy apparently in your size at this point in the US. I see olive, black, khaki, but no navy except at Stels. Please, stop asking.

I don't think it could be centimetres - that would make the waist like 20 inches. Plus the measurements on the S/M seem right.

I would go the L. They won't be crazy baggy or anything - just comfortably loose. If you're only 10-15 lbs. less I would imagine the mediums would be QUITE fitted...like not much left to the imagination. Not sure what the deal is - I'm sure just an honest mistake of sorts.

Yep - that's the one. Just in charcoal where I am pictured in the heather. RG also has it in navy blue. It is warm, but not extremely. I think the Loop Terry is getting some mixed reviews, but I'm a big fan as I mentioned earlier. However, I would say the Tiger Fleece is warmer, thicker, and softer. And yes, I was fortunate enough to manage a lot of pieces from FW'10.

Haha, fair enough questions. My arms are slightly shorter than your average person's so I constantly roll my sleeves to avoid them hanging mid way down my hand or further. I know it kind of screws up the fit pics, but at least you can get an idea of the torso. But if you have normal length arms rest assured the arm length on these pieces are fine. As far as the puffed out chest, that is my natural posture. I have a slim waist and a relatively larger upper body. I know it does look like I am flexing or something, but that's not the case, believe it or not. But in looking at the pictures I think I am kind of leaning into them which further creates that "illusion"

More fit pics...my apologies for the poor lighting and lack of full length mirror. Cashmere: Nice out of the box. Not as soft as I had hoped for, but still very cozy. Good amount of detail on the sweater. On the cuffs, neckline, and the w+h armpit thing they always do. The fit is true to size, if not fitting slightly large, believe it or not. I thought this size small would come out looking like a mitten. Nope. They're kind of big. My advice for anyone interested....to me it is designed for someone tall and thin. The torso is ribbed and slightly elongated. I am 5'8" and this sweater would look a lot better on someone 5'10"-6'ish. It also has those high arm holes -- very noticeable. In fact I'd always read people make those complaints but never experienced it first hand until now. Not a deal breaker but kind of awkward. I'll hold onto it as it will be nice for work, but I am not totally thrilled. Mainly the fit is my gripe (and just the fit on me, personally). I think this sweater is ideal for the the tall and thin -- most definitely not the short and stocky. Get your real size. I could see no one needing to size up. Especially considering they will stretch. Possibly consider sizing down if between sizes or are just really skinny.

Tiger Fleece Shawl: I'm going all shawl this winter. More versatile. These things have been discussed. All I'll say is they're very snug. Size up unless you're tiny. If this thing is clinging to me like it is with only a short sleeved OCBD on underneath, that should say something. Warm. I think warmer than the terry loop stuff. Wearing size m

The flannel: I'm gonna go out there and say it. This thing is sick. I've been reading some mixed reviews, but in my opinion, this is up there with some of the best stuff of the season. And this fortunately, as opposed to the cashmere, is made for people more my build, i.e. on the shorter side. This is a size small and I would say this fits true to size. No need to size up. If you generally wear a size small in w/h ocbd's, just stay there with this. If you fit a gant rugger small, this will fit. If you wear a BoO small, this will fit. If a gitman small is tad bit tight on you, then you might want to consider a medium in this. 3rd pic in this set is more to show the hat.

The "cashmere toque": I like it. I like it a lot. At first sight, it's like, "damn, this thing is frickin' 'uge". But it looks much better on than off. If you can pull off a slightly baggy beanie then this is worthwhile. I know already that I will be wearing this every day. Unless you have a tiny shrunken head this is one size fits all.

The reigning champ sweats, you ask? They run big. Pretty honkin' big. I should have stuck with a small. They fit no where close to as snug as the w/h sweats of season past. The material is the same except with a little polyester 75cott/25poly. But they are enormous. Huge. The last photo I am standing on my sink and is rather unflattering, but that is the length I will go to show the internet how big these damn things are. If some giant on the stateside wants to throw me an offer on these gems, let 'um fly. I need to go back for a size small. But they could even be too big. Cool sweats though. Wish they fit. Really do..(edit; now gone)

Hey Slack, you said the wool fleece sports coat fits small right? I am usually a medium in W+H (6ft, 165lbs). My jacket from RG is arriving in the next couple of days but I just can't shake the feeling that it might be too big on me. AND RG is out of the medium on that particular jacket.

BTW, flannel looks good. Is it made in China or Canada? Just curious.
