So last night I beat my husband home by a few minutes. As I went outside to plug in the christmas lights, I glanced at the front step and saw a box sitting there. Just then, H comes up the steps and grabs the box to take it inside. He said it was a gift for me.
What he doesn't know is that I noticed the Ibex graphic on the box right before he grabbed it. YIPEE! :D
(Is it wrong that I am now excited about Christmas because I know I'm getting something from Ibex?)
Not at all! I got a wonderful sweater a few years ago from dh for christmas! It finally has gotten cold enough to wear this season. Lucky you!
Oooohhh.....that's EXCITING!!!! :D :D :DQuote:

you're just foolin' right?
Busy day in Wool for me today! My smartwool jacket arrived at REI in-store pickup (the one that Knot so kindly enabled me to purchase) and right afterwards I headed over to the new Icebreaker retail store here in Portland. Oh, yum! Bought some of their nice Legless shorter leggings which are sort of a capri-length which works really nicely with ski-boots in their heavier weight 260. I also bought two very light short-sleeved shirts for warm weather hiking.
While checking out at REI I had a chance to do a little wool evangelizing. I noticed the clerk was wearing an Icebreaker shirt and he was asking me whether I preferred Smartwool vs. Icebreaker. I said it depends on the garment (ok, ok, I'm a complete wool **** and I love it all) but confessed that, if I had to pick just one... my true love lies (mostly) with Ibex. He was completely unaware of Ibex! I noticed he was a cyclist so I made sure to inform him about the wool bike shorts and knickers, and pointed him to an LBS that carries these.
My wool shopping excuse for today? I just had to get a few more woolen wonders before departing for the Mecca of Wool. My sweetie and I are boarding a plane for NZ tomorrow to spend some time tramping in Fiordlands. I will be sure to wave to all our beloved sheep from the plane window. :D
OMG...an Icebreaker store in Portland!?!?! WHere?
I washed all my wool today and was thinking that I actually like my IB pieces as much as my Ibex...it even feels a little silkier....
I'm in BIG trouble!!!
That's weird: last winter I saw a few Ibex pieces (including the Carrie hoddie) at the big REI store in Seattle.Quote:

Hi everyone! Back from our enforced TE fast. I lasted a while, but then this afternoon I broke down and ordered the loden wool jacket that Elk mentions above...it's the Bregenz jacket and I got it becauseQuote:

I hope it fits me better than Elk's experience. We'll see, we are all different shapes after all. Got a chocolate brown neck gaiter as well, which will match my chocolate shaks. :p
Which jacket are you talking about Lisa? (oh, never mind, I see now)
I finally wore my Cirque jacket yesterday. It was supposed to be cold, but the temp got up to 82 and I had to come out of it. A cold front came through last night and today is perfect weather for it. I really like it a lot, for more than just biking.
