the charcoal gray is still there.... in my size. I can't buy it. Don't want it as much as I want other things. Don't need it at all. But it calls to me anyway. In a soft little voice. Temptress...

Go ahead, splurge. I always wanted one, so tell yourself you are only doing it for a friend. You would be buying a sweater and forcing yourself to wear and enjoy the sweater for a friend.

But that sweater costs almost as much as an off-peak airplane ticket to San Francisco. Almost as much as a compact double Campy Veloce crankset. As much as two Campy headsets.
I have lots of wool sweaters and wool jackets, and honestly I'd rather go to SF to get warm than buy another sweater...

merino wool at rei-outlet
REI-outlet has merino wool T-shirts in the men's cycling section for $26.93 and there's a 20% off coupon good from 12/01/06 - 12/08/06. (If you didn't get the coupon by email, PM me). They have smalls and mediums, but looks like they are going fast.

Tomorrow Goodwill here is having a half off everything sale. I'm going to scout for wool. Wish me luck.
BTW, often tags are missing with fiber content. Any suggestions as to how to tell if it's wool, short of burning a thread as they would probably object to that.

Feeling it generally work for me. You could rub it on your cheek. Or you could wet it and sniff it for the distinctive wet wool smell. Good luck!
