I love Patagonia clothes and am an addict.
The wool base layers are wonderful---never itch, well made, etc. Well worth the $$$ because you'll have them for years (with proper care).

I'm puttin on my wool yummies now...october.... :p
Happy that I have an ample supply since having gone overboard during the past two years buying good wool items. I expect to be swathed in merino for the next 15 years even if I don't buy another single thing! :cool:
Point6 merino socks :) I like them better than Smartwool.

I have a Surly t-shirt. I love advertising the fact that I'm a Surly person. ;)
Ibex wool "Knickerbockers" http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/product...mmuter-knicker
Too bad they're $160
Too bad they don't come in women's sizes (boy, Ibex's women's cycling selection just gets smaller and smaller)
Too bad they are woven in China.
Didn't TE have some really cute wool knickerbockers made by Sheila Moon? I remember Susan modelling a pair, I think. They looked like this http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodSM_6572.html but they were wool tweed, I think. Like, a tan tweed with a tan/brown butt patch.
yeah, I noticed that too!
on the other hand, I got my Ibex stuff!!! OH MY GOODNESS!! HOW BEAUTIFUL!!
Both were heavily discounted last year's colors. (one was halfway between maroon and pink, the other was red with dark pink highlights)
I LOVE THEM
One is a heavier sweater type with a zipper. Don't know if that's a shak or not..
I'm wearing a wool/soy ExOfficio sweater that I adore, though it seems to itch freshly shaved armpits (sorry). My cat keeps trying to make biscuits on it so I guess she loves it too.
I don't know how I've never looked at this thread before. Love love love wool!
Our cats LOVE LOVE LOVE our wool. Especially when we sleep in it (which is about half the year). Great for kitty biscuit making. :D
Until I broke my sewing machine doing it.... I was making kitty beds out of old wool sweaters that I bought by the pound at a Goodwill outlet (yes, really a thrift store outlet). Washed them in hot water to felt them a bit then sewed them into round kitty beds. I did a few rectangular that were covers for kitty heating pads too. My cats love theirs. I still occasionally make a bed or two by hand.
My generous and thoughtful brother gave me a gift certificate to the Ibex website for my birthday. So I'm entering the world of Ibex.
Back in the 80s I had several (4 or 5) wool long-sleeve cycling jerseys. They were beautiful, but for some reason I got rid of them at some point. Dumb youth!
