But I'll find plenty of other uses for the shirt. Though I'll avoid wrenching in it - don't want to try and wash bike grease out of expensive wool.

In addition to wrenching, we should try to avoid retching in our expensive wool shirts as well.

LOL. Good one, Lisa. Though I might be able to stay clean while retching, and I definitely can't while wrenching. And I guess we should avoid wringing as well (while laundering, that is).

DebW - those Agate T's are mighty nice. I have a pale purple-y one. The Qu-T doesn't have piping, that might work better under pack straps. The fabric also seems to be a bit heavier.

Here's the link to DivingBiker's Smartwool 3/4 length sleeves.

I just got mine, same color, in size L. I like it quite a bit. The fabric is pretty light, on a par with Ibex's Qu-T but not as light as the Agate T. Certainly not as heavy as Ibex's Norge/Norse crew! The 3/4 length sleeves are kinda cute. The orange part sticking out has a slit all the way to the gray (sort of a floppy French cuff) The torso is nice and long for me, plenty to tuck in but it still looks ok out. In person the orange is a pretty happy deep peachy color. Not garish. I'm a red-head and I can get away with this orange.

Hmmm, you must have much longer arms than I do, because the sleeves are pretty much long sleeves on me. They end just barely above my wrists. I wish I could wear this shirt, because I really like the style of it.

I'm wearing mine today. definitely 3/4 sleeves. It's less than 25 degrees out,
wool underwear seemed to make sense!

Washed my dang-blasted wool duofold longjanes last night, and was congratulating myself that THIS time they didn't spontaneously sprout holes all along the seams. (probably cuz there is so much extra stitching along there by now!) Pulled 'em on - OOPS! Several holes up near the waist. Wore 'em anyway. Sick 'n tired of sewing them up.

I need new wooly longjanes!

I was all set to get these from Duluth Trading Co, until I read the bit about the cotton crotch gusset. Uh-oh.

I think I'll get these from Ibex. I'm so happy with the same weight Norge crew and Roaster Boxers, that I really should spend the money to get the good stuff. Next year.

Oh, happy joy! My Ibex Ultimate Guide sweater finally arrived yesterday. I do wish that the Mediums had still been available, the Long is nice and cozy and drapy on me but I'm secretly wishing it will shrink just a tiny little bit.

The feel and weight of it is wonderful, though.
