Maybe I'm lucky that their sweaters don't quite fit :) Along with almost every other wool clothing company out there.
Really, jess...
You do know that if the fit is a little off in a wool garment that you can block it to fit you!
(malkin, the wool devil temptress...bwah ha ha haaaaaa!)
I went underneath my bed today and pulled out my wool stash. Apparently, I have gone all winter wearing wool without going into my wool stash.
So I sorted through it and a lot of it will appear on here in a few days.
Eager to see what you've got!
Anyone interested in a very slightly used (like maybe 50 miles total) pair of Ibex women's cycling shorts, size M? I can post pics if anyone is. Not sure what I want for them. I'd consider trade (wool).
I would be interested, assuming they don't run small. I wouldn't have any other shorts to trade for, but do have a SWOBO SS jersey that you might find interesting ;)Quote:

I have one shorter sweater from about 5-6 years ago and with a tucked in shirt this looks OK. I tried it with a Shak, thinking I could have an Ibex "suit," but that looked awful.
I think this is a short person's problem.
That might work. What color is the jersey? The shorts don't run small.Quote:

I won't be home until quite late tonight, but if you are interested I can post a picture of both jerseys so you can see what they look like - they are the same outside of color. I could give up a jersey to gain a pair of shorts - and have been wanting to try wool.
They're perfect for spring and fall, and even under tights in winter. They'd probably be too warm for over 75º.Quote:

Could you post a picture of that skirt?Quote:

I'm "into" skirts and especially dresses at the moment, I splurged and bought a couple of really nice thin merino wool dresses recently for a wedding and a birthday party, that can also be used for work :) I'll see if I can find the photos I snapped with my phone when I was trying to decide the colour (yeah, I sent them home and asked my dh to help me choose :D). Pretty, huh? First time ever shopping in a real live designer store...
It is plain outside of a logo on one of the sleeves. I will have to check on the size, it is either a medium or large, can't remember which. If it IS a large like I think it is, it runs small - I wasn't able to actually wear it last year - it fits perfectly now though.Quote:

I will check on the size and confirm when I get home tonight - it will likely be after 9:00 when I can get to it. Will also post a picture at that time. The logo is rather small and not unattractive.
I don't need a picture, it sounds good. I just didn't want the one with the giant "SWOBO" across the front, which I saw when I was googling. M would be better than L, but I'm not too fussy about size. It could be a little big.
PM me your address, since I know you moved since our last transaction.
lph, you look gorgeous! I love those dresses.
yeah, I'm really pleased :)
