Now i am worried the f/w 10 cashmere cardigan i ordered in small from stel will be too big.

Thanks for the info - I was curious about that. Assuming you've handled (sorry for inquiring if not), what is the weight of it versus the F/W'10 Terry Looped hoodies? I am picturing/imagining this a thinnish cotton exterior (similar to those SS'09 thin cotton hoodies) with these large(er) terry loops lining the interior? Significantly lighter in actual weight versus F/W? Hopefully so..

I really want to see shorts as well. Probably not until Mid March--> April, though. Polo's I bet come earlier than other stuff. All the sweats/recycled fleece etc coming out first apparently. I wonder if they'll dare offer the sweatpants in red..

remember to keep it to ss'11 itt. hopefully there are some nice light-weight chinos though. the ventile field was an awesome pant last season even considering the pretty humorous side-equipped v@gina pockets

The small and medium sweats in heathered olive (only option) already sold out on 4HM. Glad I didn't need those. Gonna have to be an early riser, or a size large, to scoop these, apparently. This also considering how fast the gray and black sold out on RG. I hope to gawd that they made the pockets bigger on these sweats than last year. Not being able to put anything in your side pockets is kind of a drag. What a functional design error.

The new hoodies based on these reports are identical to the F/W'10, except "larger loops" (lol, thanks!) and different color options (e.g. heather olive and also red/salmon/washed red). How exciting. Being for spring/summer I'm surprised they didn't opt for a lighter version. Call me crazy. Saves me 180 bucks there at least, though, being I have two from f/w'10. Also funny how the retail price is lower for the same identical (sans color) hoodies (f/w10 vs. s/s10).

For me, moving forward with w+h, it's all about the pants and shorts. I hope this year's are also Japan made. Any stockist know? The sweatshirt/sueded fleece/tiger terry stuff is just played out. Obviously selling, but played out. There is nothing truly special about them. Also they must be pretty much in bed with Ideal to be using those zippers again (that feel as if they're fashioned out of paperclips, or a metal even more slight). I wish they would also get their zippers attaching and moving up, correctly, before attempting the sophisticated "two way zip". The "ideal" zipper on my $50 Dockers are of way higher quality than the ones w+h uses. Bizarre imo.

So bring on the chinos and shorts and screw this endless "loop" of sweatshirt and hoodie reiterations of year's passed. I know the new(ish) ones are the new material (knit-like) -- but identical to F/W aside from a new color or two? Smh. Throw us a frickin' bone.

and i like it, but lol @ the dungaree shirt retailing for approximately $250. At least that stock should stick around for a while (i.e. until sale time).

But thank you, guy, for posting the details on the pants. THAT is what there is to be excited about. They too I'm certain will be bank busters, but hey. With respect to quality, these pants and shorts should last a while - or at least until you get too fat to wear them.

Rob says they will be re-releasing the slim cut (slightly updated) in a raw jean, a 1 year wash and a bleached out wash.

I guess we'll have to wait until april to see what those are like.
