was @ A&F today & noticed they had some new winter stuff out....

there were 3 fully lined fur hoodies (navy, grey & brown)

&

4 new flannels
dark navy w/ green (small light blue stripe)
red w/ navy (& i think a small yellow stripe)
off white w/ grey (& a small red stripe)
off white w/ navy (& i think a green stripe?)


also, the down vests were out.

Why are they coming out on a monday? at ruehl&anf?

Ruehln had said in a previous post that is store has been known to carry things earlier then when they are out on the site and at other stores, so like instead of putting new stuff on the floor on wednesday/thursday/friday, his store gets them on monday

eaton centre most likely looks the same way today,

both stores, easton and eaton's are tier1s and do this

nice. how did the navy fur lined hoodie look?

and ruehln, what tier is your store? trying to figure out what tiers will carry the vests...

if he was at easton, which i assume he was, since its close to his house, it is a tier 1

tier 1..

the navy just had "ABERCROMBIE" across the front if i remember correctly & something els below it..maybe New York? i really dont remember b/c i glanced at them real quick..

the brown & grey had the smaller sized logos on the upper left chest.

But matt, the flannel lined hoodies that came out a few weeks ago eaton didnt have it on the saturday after the update which was on wednesday, and then the next week they had it

Glad there are more flannels.

Easton and Polaris set major floorsets a week early. September week 1 is being considered a "floorset."

And Visualmerch said there would be no more flannels coming out, lol....
Will it take anything else to get some of you guys to stop taking him seriously?

so when should we see the rest of the stores putting the items of the floor? Hopefully we have them in shipment today so I can pick them up

He also said Mike doesn't walk through updates, Hollister and little-a aren't tiered, DMX still does our music and that he's the head of visual merchandising, all of which are blatant lies.

How much WERE they? Lol I think that is the most important question.

Polaris?

they are hollister only, right?

i never go to that mall b/c it's 98% girls stores.

What's it called? Winter preview or CHristmas preview or something else?

they are not preview they are just adding small amounts of things to the floor.

They said they would be adding things to updates here and there in order to make the actual floorsets less hectic.

also forgot to mention a bunch of new crewnecks....just your usual crewneck they put out every year w/ the "V" thing under the collar.


Navy
Brown
Bright Royal Blue
Charcoal Grey Heather
Light Grey Heather
Heather Brown
Dark Brown

probably a few other colors.

But the hectic-ness is what makes them so fun!
