here's the new ones.

Your web site is incredible! You have really done a thorough job! I didn't know that all of those sources were out there.

Where do you purchase your Capilene? For cool weather, would you wear a shell of silk-weight under a jersey of mid-weight? Also, is there a source for the chamios (sp?) lining for bike shorts?

Outdoors Wilderness Fabrics used to have some, they get different things all the time as does Rose City. The capillene is all sold out.

I make all my own chamois. I use the pattern that comes with stretch and sew, and I use ultrasuede and one or two layers or 200 fleece. Use butted seams. Seattle Fabircs offers a premade foam pad, but IMO it's nasty, I didn't like it at all. It felt like a cross between an oversize maxipad and a diaper. ;-(
