No, not itchy at all (for me, ymmv). I wear wool UNDERWEAR. Yes, right there, up close and personal. Women's wool boxer briefs. Most comfortable undies I own.
(I have 3 pair)
This fall Ibex is s'posed to start running lighter weight seamless wool undies and camisole/bra tops. You can bet I'll be ordering some of them!"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

This rumour was confirmed by my local Ibex rep AND by the Ibex chickie I spoke to when I placed an order by phone.
Bring it on!

My latest wooly find: a Smartwool long-sleeved top for $35 at REI in children's XL. The sleeves could be a might longer and wider, but otherwise a perfect fit. And a lovely red color.
Oil is good, grease is better.

Would this be an appropriate moment to mention that not only is TE a new Ibex dealer (we're expecting our first shipment any day!) but that we will also be carrying the seamless underwear??
And all of YOU are to blame. The Ibex folks saw so many orders coming to their website from these forums that they called us up and asked us to become a dealer....

Ok, you evil weenies...I saw the sale on TE that someone posted about and bought the blue smartwool tee and the hot lava hoodie on sale (and my first bike jersey!). The hoodie is going to be perfect for my club rides now that it is getting cooler in the evenings when our ride ends! I am not sure how/when I am going to wear the tee...but I am sure I will figure something out.

Susan rulz, cuz she's gonna carry Ibex!
(BTW: I love my 3 pairs of Ibex boxers more than my 2 pairs of Smartwool boxers. Now I want some seamless lightweight Ibex boxers, too. They promised me they'd make them in compression-short length like the Roaster boxers.)
I was all set to buy a bunch of woolie-goodies from REI-outlet.com but by the time I went to "checkout" half of them were gone already!
Lots of nice Ibex vests and jackets left.Last edited by KnottedYet; 08-24-2007 at 07:21 PM.

Ok, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...
I just realized TE has a "Wool Apparel" specialty shop.

MmmmmmmmMMMMMM, tasty!
And I already have a pair of some breathable man-made coffee socks, and here are two (count 'em TWO!) pairs of wool coffee socks! http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=12475Last edited by KnottedYet; 08-24-2007 at 07:36 PM.

Ibex
I just bought my first piece of wool, the Ibex Shak jersey that was on steepandcheap the other day (in a very beautiful orange color!). It arrived today and I couldn't wait to put it on. It fit perfectly, but was a bit itchy. Will that get better as it gets washed or is that how it will always feel? I'm sure it would be fine with a long sleeved shirt underneath, but not great with just a t-shirt.

Funny...when I was a teenager and did outdoor stuff, wool was all the rage. A number of (....many) years later when I became active again, I got pooh-poohed at Eddie Bauer (which used to be more outdoorsy) when I asked for wool stuff and ended up with a bunch of wicking stuff.
I always liked the wool...so I am glad to have some again!Last edited by teawoman; 08-27-2007 at 08:53 PM.
