Wow, that was fast! :D
Maybe I should check out the men's XL.
Have to take Felicia Golightly down to RCC first. I think I bent my wheel after a fall yesterday (just a bruised knee and ego going up my hill).
Watch out on the BG if you ride it. I saw three unleased dogs on the side right around Matthews yesterday. People seem to have a lack of common sense when it comes to dogs at times.
Have a great ride tomorrow.
There was only ONE pair, so ya better go there fast!
I'm tentatively planning to go there tomorrow post TSNW ride and get Shimano Free Ride pedals (to match with Diadora shoes from Performance). What a cool bike shop! I LOVE it. Just as much (and from the opposite end of the spectrum) as Recycled Cycles.
I will watch for doggies on the BG.
How to make Medium Ibexes fit a Large heinie: put 'em on fresh from the washer (wet! and the most excitement I've had in months!) and sit in a lawn chair in the sun drinking Red Hook Extra Special Bitter with your knees up by your chin as you read "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown.
Now I have the hiccups.
I adore Ibex as well but my complaints are in the w's sizing.
1) The lack of an XL in many of the w's styles
2) As a am a strapping young lass (over 6 feet) the tops are always REALLY cropped on me. Which I hate for several reasons. Mostly because the bottom of the shirt is above my waist in most pants creating the illusion that my boobs are really low and resting on my stomach (ok, that may be my own paranoia), but also because if I stretch or say, I dunno, bend over handle bars my back and flabby stomach are exposed. Arcteryx makes a few wool tops that seem to run a little longer in the torso, but they too tend to stop at a size L and I feel that there L is really more of a M (ahem, yes it could just be me again).
So, sadly for me I have found that I can really only wear some of the Ibex casual wear/sweaters or use the tops for layering vs athletics.
Finally, despite my love of wool and knowing that the Ibex stuff doesn't itch I still fear their wool underwear esp. the thongs. Thongs creep me out, but wool thongs? That makes me feel really funny.
All of you who want Ibex to make better fitting sizes: Write to them! Tell them what you like and what you don't! They are such a cool bunch of people, and they really need to hear from their customers. They could well make some sizes, and ask you to test them. Ya never know.
Ibex L fits me perfectly, long enough sleeves, long enough body, perfect across the shoulders, etc. L boxers fit me great. The M knickers are a bit iffy, but they were on sale.
