PS - If lulu is going to bring back old favorites, can you please consider bringing back the Remix Light or Remix Lux jackets? I really could use a lightweight zip-up sweat jacket. When my husband was looking at lulu hoodies, he felt they were much too thick to be practical.
Remix Lights
Remix Lights were made of french terry and were a lighter weight version of the Remix hoodies. I suppose if they brought them back, they'd be Scuba Lights. I have two and wear them every week. They are lasting like iron. They were released primarily in the US a couple of years ago. It's weird that Lulu doesn't have a lightweight hoodie as one of its core items. To me, it's a glaring gap in a basic athletic wardrobe.
The lux hoodie is very similar to the Remix Light except they were made of the modal fabric instead of french terry. I recently bought one off ebay and love it, almost more than my Remix Lights. The material is slightly lighter weight than the Remix Light. Modal seems to pill a lot more easily than french terry but it's super soft and stretchy. It's a great basic piece. If lulu ever brought back these jackets, I'd probably buy at least half a dozen right off the bat, they are that useful and comfortable.

Yayyyyyy !!!!!
I can tell you for sure -- it is not a rumor ;)
Thanks, Anon 10:28 pm. More than a couple people have written they've been told GWs are coming back so it's seems a sure thing.
How much do you expect the GW to sell for? Will they be pricey???
I swear I think they were $128 when they came out a couple of years ago. I think they'd be around that price again but not sure.
Those are two of the Lux's that I have and I would happily buy more to add to my collection :) GW's were $128 when I bought my first two in January 2010, another piece that I would love to have more of.
I don't understand the GW love, but I do have a Lux hoodie that is lonely and wants friends (i.e. I need more!!!).
I would like to see more hood-free items - DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY USE THE HOOD?????
Oh yeah, and do long sleeve crew neck swiftlys look good on anybody? Even the slim models look bad, it's another one of those items that lulu sales people are always pushing you to "size down" but really, don't they look better when they're not skin tight??
I'm not a big GW fan - I don't think it is a flattering jacket. That aside, I LOVE my three remix lights and have posted here before that I'd like to see them return. I also really like my remix lux jackets and would buy more of them. Only complaint is my normal size 6 is too big in it so I have a 4 which fits well except is a tad short in the torso so I'm always pulling it down. So many people have posted to them to return these two jackets. I agree, one of these two should be a CORE item. A lightweight knit hoodie sister to the scuba.
AHHH! So flippin excited!!! I have a GW in black already, but I'm totally getting another one! A GW in black swan would be amazing. If it's coming out in black, there must be other colors :)
@anon 4:40am- I bet if you sized down in the GW you'd love it! I get so many compliments on mine. I'm normally an 8/10 in lulu and my GW's are 4/6's.
do the gratitude wraps fit similar to other lulu wraps in terms of sizing?
I knew they would bring them back as soon as I paid over $200 for one on eBay! So you have me to thank, GW lovers! LOL
The return of Modal fabric in the relaxed fit and still pants has me hopeful that the Lux will make a comback! Maybe I am crazy for thinking so haha But why not? they are already using the fabric id settle for the dark grey color they have for the pants no problem! haha
I wore the hood on my scuba today! Right now it is cold and rainy in DC where I live. That GW looks like something I 'need'.
I love my Lux hoodies as well, I have 2 of them and MUCH prefer them to the boxy Scuba's. If they do re-release these I would love to see a little extra length added to them though. :)
I don't get the GW hype.
gw looks outdated. unless they upgrade the design, i woulld not justify $128+ for this item.
I think it's great how many don't seem to like or want the GW, when it does come back perhaps there will be more available for those who have been waiting a long time to get one. For me I hope there is a color besides black, I've bought and sold two black GWs, they just don't suit me.
What is the difference between a remix light, and the sing, travel, floss hoodie? I never got the chance to either the Lux or remix in 'real life'. The colors are so pretty!
I wasn't into lulu when the GWs were around, and judging from the pictures I don't think I will want one; I'll try it on though, just to see. The remix light/lux sound perfect. I often wish for a lighter alternative to the scuba. I agree that it should be a core piece.
@ Anon 5:18: just guessing, but I think the SFT hoodie is quite a bit longer than the remix light. The SFT is pretty much the same as the old Wear with All hoodie.
I would love to see them bring back the course-ette jacket next! I'm obsessed with that jacket.
i sold my savasana and haven't found a french terry wrap to replace it. if the GW comes out, even in just black, i will be sure to get one.
I was never a fan of the remix hoodies i found them to be too stiff and not flattering on my body. I'm a huge fan of the scubas and i will be purchasing more in future :)
