I have this one in solid gray. It's the one I always wear biking. I loooooooooove it!
If I wasn't spending all my $$ supporting the airline industry, I'd be all over this! Nice color! Right size!

I just got my first purchase from Ibex. The loose tights will be going back. The larges (12-14) were too tight on my rear. Everything else I own is a 12 and fits ok. I should have listened to KnottedYet. Great sale on them too from Ibex. Nice weight pants and I loved the little zipper. I just can't seem to make myself order the extra large, especially since they charge another $6.00to make an exchange. Maybe I'll try the smartwool twister pants instead. Anyone have those?
I forgot and threw my first merino wool purchase in the dryer, it shrunk to an amazing degree of tiny. I gurss I'm still in a learning curve with this wool stuff.

Sandy- I have both the Ibex loose tights and the smart wool twister pants. I usually wear an 8-10 in pants (I am really a 10 in the booty-thigh area generally) and I have the large in the loose tight (still snug on the rear, but not in a bad way) and I have the medium in the smartwool twister pants, they are much more forgiving. Still snug on the butt, but much less than the Ibex, and looser through the thigh... I would think that the large would be fine for you. I love both, but they are really different. The twister pant is a lot thinner and softer, more like the smartwool tops. I really like the rise on them, it is a nice mid-rise, below the belly button on the hips, but not low cut by any means.... no plummer but potential there :-) Since they are lighter weight I feel like I can probably wear them for more of the year compared to the Ibex loose tight. I plan on wearing them on some of the really long airline flights I have coming up (think 16 hours on a plane), I thought the Ibex ones might be too warm for that length of time sitting on a plane.Quote:

I did this, and they did shrink a little bit, but really only in length and not too much. If you really need the length I would also keep them far far away from the dryer.
Enjoy!

Forgive me, Woolweenies, for I have sinned... (against financial common sense.)
I just ordered the Meru helmet liner, Twizel shirt, and Collo T-neck from Ibex.
I created a "personal account" so Ibex can love me as I deserve to be loved.
Lo, I have craved the Collo t-neck for at least 2 years now (since Title 9 had it and I tried it on). Yea, I did watch as the price dipped lower and lower, and my first color choice did sell out. And my second color choice. And yet the price did plummeteth further. I lost my faith at the sight of my 3rd color choice, and I did purchase.
I do not need a Meru helmet liner. And certainly not in "Espresso". But I was sorely tempted by the price. $10, oh fellow Woolweenies. Say it with me: TEN DOLLARS. And lo, I did succumb.
The Twizel... ah, behold the Twizel. Perhaps one of the gawd-awful ugliest shirts in existence. But in a sad, sick, 1970's throw-back kind of way it did call to me. I yearned for the Collo and the Meru, but the Twizel is simply a case of lust. More than 50% off. Yea, I am weak.
Even when the daemons of the internet informed me that the Twizel (the TWIZEL?!?! you must be KIDDING!!) was backordered, I swayed not from my perilous path. I ordered the misbegotten thing, anyway.
Who needs food? Who needs to pay the car insurance? Who needs electricity? No, it is wool, the siren song of wool that drives me forward.
It's back-ordered because Jan Brady ordered several just before you did.Quote:

I happen to like the Twizel, it is very soft looking, very feminine. :) But I also love the espresso coloured meru helmet liner.
Then you should buy both, as they are both on deeeeeeeep discount right now. And shipping is FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(Suze would sh*t a brick)
Oh I would if I could, but I already over spent at J Jill. :o For a brief moment I not only thought I had money for some new clothing, but completely ignored all sound finacial wisdom by justifying the expense due to the fabulous sales and my lack of clothing. I am worth it , right?? Just hope the boys do not need more reeds....have you seen what they charge for bassoon and oboe reeds? :eek:Quote:

Lucky you! Yes, all the reed money can go towards wool. Unless of course you would like to take over buying Bassoon and Oboe reeds for my twins? Then I could buy wool. :D
If you guys are busy buying Ibex sale stuff, just be aware that the "Amelia" shirt is VERY thin- I got the corn yellow one for my (grown) daughter and it is rather see-through. But very comfy. I advised her to use it as a sleep shirt, for which it would be most excellent and cozy. I wear my Ibex Wooly tops to sleep in.
