Mmm.... those look cozy, Mimi.

I bought a pair of longish board style shorts that come with a cycling liner. I know I will wear those all the time, without the liner.

What brand were they?
I bought a pair of Harlot shorts with their "beaver comfort zone" liner.
Ward,the Beaver was not in it's comfort zone. I think I will be removing the liner and wearing my favorite Performance shorts underneath.

ROTFLMAO! I'm curious - is the "beaver comfort zone" their technical term?

Zen, I've bought 2 things from Sheila Moon and both of them fit poorly or just were different from the way they looked in the catalogue.
So, it doesn't surprise me that the shorts (or whatever they are called ) don't do what they are advertised to do.


Lisa,
Yes, my buying lust for wool has gone down immensely because I keep wanting it to actually BE spring like. But, my buying needs do not just include wool, unfortunately. The stuff I bought from STP is summer stuff for tooling around on my commuter bike or walking. I don't need any new jerseys or shorts and I am usually good about buying just one new jersey a year and recycling old ones.

Ward is obviously very happy in this photo.

Well, its that time of year where I had to stop buying wool .......... Never thought I would be so sad to see spring come. But today I bought a present for the wool collection I accumulated this winter: cedar blocks! They are quite inexpensive at Lowes, 8 blocks for only $3.88. I also bought some that are attached to hangers for my wool suits. So, I carefully packed all my ibex away in a drawer with 16 cedar blocks, and hung my wool suits and pants on the cedar lined hangers. My closet smells soooo niiice now....... Good nite wool.

Oh, sadness.

Oh, wooly despair.

My first (and oldest) pair of Ibex Roaster Boxers has developed a hole. Right, um, in the gusset, as it were.

Not on a seam (Ibex has some of the best neatest cleanest seams I've ever seen). Smack in the middle and center of the gusset. I'm guessing that's where the friction from biking and jeans hits the worst. (these are over 2 years old, and been washed and worn many many many times)

Now, how do I sew this up (about 1/2 inch) without causing myself an intimate chafing problem?

I would make a stretchy wool patch the size and shape of the whole gusset. Then add a little circle or two of small stitches right around the hole to secure it to the patch.
