Because it's called "preview" floorset.
Preview is sometime in September, floorset is I believe sometime about the 25th of October??

...if the preview is sometime in September, it's the first week. Although I think ruehl's fur hoodies (which come in the preview) came out the last week of August last year.

To give people a break at stores. Two floorsets back to back are what get people to quit.

Also, what is usually done for the preview, and the actual floorset, like itemwise, and marketing.

... There isn't really a way to predict marketing.

A lof of your staple items will be moved during preview (denim, polos) to make room for any new merchandise that will be coming out during the preview and the actual floorset.
The marketing doesn't usually change until the actual floorset, at least it never did at my tier 3...

I think he's still around; you should probably check with a moderator or something if you want a definitive answer.

Winter preview in August. That makes perfect sense. Whatever, bring on the sweaters!

Speaking of sweaters, hopefully this year's v-neck sweaters will have a lower/deeper V. That's one way of switching it up.

I own most of the v-necks in all colors already
..And from different years too (not to mention the ones from Ruehl also).... UGH, even cashmere Vs.

I'm praying for deep V-neck sweaters this year or I won't be picking up any.

Dude, their v-neck sweaters have gotten pretty deep. They're about as deep as I can stand. If they got deeper, A&F would just become even more metro. There's nothing classic about it. Besides, you can fond them elsewhere.

It looks like it fits a lot better.

What happened to the XXL?

Also, if you start working out, your XS's aren't gonna fit you anymore, the width along the chest/shoulder areas will be extremely uncomfortable and look like babygap.
