Ibex's Weekly Special

http://www.ibexwear.com/F06/View_Pro...&CategoryLine=

Oh hey you guys be careful about ordering that Neve Ibex jacket on special.

My girlfriend ordered it and I went over to her house to check it out. She got the small size in green. She is very cute and petite with a slim figure. It looked AWFUL on her! It was big and stiff and stuck out in strange ways.
So I said here let me try it on....I'm a size medium. Well it wasn't too big on me, but it still looked awful. Stuck out in weird unattractive ways- like the chest, shoulders, and stomach parts kept sticking out. I just had to say something because it was a really unflattering jacket when we each put it on.
She sent it back. (She does have the Cirque jacket in small in black, and it looks great on her.)
Ibex had the Neve jacket on their weekly special last month for a long time. Then there was no special for a couple weeks, now the Neve is back again. Watch out for that one, I think maybe EVERYONE is sending them back, that's why they keep putting them on weekly special. Happily, you can send it back if you don't like it, but you'll still pay shipping both ways anyway.

Aside from socks, I don't have any wool, but my Samrtwool hoodie (the orange one) should be arriving soon.

The only 'problem' is that if it arrives this weekend, it's going to be too warm to wear it. We're having gorgeous, unseasonable weather for Thanksgiving!!!

A complaint we should all have.

Has anyone seen the Carrie hoodie for real? It looks nice (from yesterday's mailing) and very tempting...

Needles to say, I'm entirely too lazy to do all that.

Thanks for the link. I learned a little. Actually, I've been doing it the hard way.
if you follow her directions, it's fairly easy.
Knot, be sure you read this too.

I just received my Smart Wool shirt from Steep and Cheep and is is luscious! Very light weight, smooth, and silky. Too light weight to wear as an outside shirt without something underneath it. Which got me to wondering...Does anyone make a merino wool sports bra or shelf-bra camisole? I love the feel of merino wool next to my skin, especially when I'm riding or paddling, but when I start sweating, any bra I am wearing feels damp. Seems like a wool/lycra blend bra would be just the thing for a true wool weenie!

Oh, goodness. Just toss it in the washer on cold with a squirt of Dr. Bronners, then drape it over the top-tube of the bike until dry.

(but Knot has no pretty wool, just functional wool, even the wool sweaters she has made are functional)

drape it over the top tube of the bike?
Wow, multifunctionality!! never thought of that!!

Oh, oh. I qualify now. My Smartwool showed today. How fast is that! Ordered Saturday, got it today!
TE is so fast. BTW, If anybody wants that hoodie, they are right on TE's site, it does run bigger than normal.
