I'm Officially a Wool Weenie!
The Shak arrived, and it is even nicer than pictured. Lisa was right, the color is a purply gray, but that is fine, still goes very nicely with my black and charcoal wool pants, jeans, and bike tights. The small is perfect, and I really can see using this to bike, ski, work, or lounge around the house in. Not cheap (even on sale), but a great piece. Its a tad lighter than I was expcting, but no worries, it still layers well over my T-necks, or layers under my cycling vests and shells and everyday jackets. Already I can see cycling in it with my terry windpro vest with the back pockets on the vest........ The quality is impeccable, and the wool really is soft, not at all scratchy.
So, thanks for all the sage advice from the senior wool weenies!
