Unfortunately my credit card is (literally) maxed out, or I'd be getting that jacket in black RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT!!!!

I was so bummed when the Breakaway disappeared, but now I am happy again. Except that I can't get the jacket... and it's even in black like I really want. <Knot suffers mightily>

Edit: Ohmigawd! The back logo is REFLECTIVE!!!!!! <Knot suffers even more and wonders what she can sell to get $$ for a new Ibex jacket>

Sweet jacket. I feel your pain. The carpet fiasco on 2006-2007 has set me back a good year. *sob*

Why is it everytime I look at the "apparel" thread I end up spending money??? This has got to stop....I DO need a 12 step program, not for just wool, but for internet stores in general. It is just too damn easy to spend, spend, spend. Don't even have to get up off the chair.

Just came back from cycling with my smart wool socks, and smartwool half zip top....they do such a great job keeping you comfortable but not sweaty. Just such a comfortable feel. Good thing that they don't smell as DH and I only have one top each. Anyway all during the ride in today's lovely 70 degree weather I could hear that Dash Hybrid jacket calling me. And it will get colder this winter, right??? So.....ordered the Dash Hybrid jacket from Ibex for me in that lovely red, and one for DH in black. (black matches all his other very black cycling clothes). After all, we don't have any nice jackets like that for active type sports, and it is such a great price.....

Is there help to be found??

It was very lucky that jacket does not come in orange as I'm already suffering from plastic abuse.

Why is that all the women's stuff is in girly colors?

Personally I would never order the pale blue...reminds me of "suburban/ShipN'Shore/JCPenny". And black is cool, but not so great for biking and being seen in traffic.
I dream of MANGO yellow and bright Spring Lettuce Green!

Alice, just go back to page 1 of this thread and re-read the 12 steps. I feel you wavering. Remember...one wool at a time.

Very funny woman! If I'm gonna put down some plastic for a nice dinner I think I'd rather take some girlfriends...

Does anyone have the IceBreaker Tech T-shirt? You can see it here: http://www.icebreaker.com/site/icebr...90_tech_t.html

I'm wondering what the sizing or rather the fit is like? Are they pretty snug and fitted? Going by the info on their website I would be a Small but I'm usually more of a medium so I'm a bit worried about ordering the small.

Thanks!

[KnottedYet]

I have an Icebreaker Tech Top zip-t neck. http://www.icebreaker.com/site/icebr...mb_value=Black It's a large, which is what I wear in just about every brand including Ibex (my gold standard). The tech top is about as fitted on me as on the model in the picture, maybe slightly looser.

If I were to order any other Icebreaker top, I'd feel pretty safe ordering a large again.

BTW, I love my Tech Top.

Thanks, that info is very helpful. I think I'll probably go for the Medium rather than the Small. I have an Ibex tshirt that I like the size of and it's a Medium too.

Oldest woolies in your closet?

I just realized that I'm wearing 23 year old wool tights! I bought them in 1984 at Marks and Spencer in Edinburgh.

They make peachy long underwear, but they do itch a good bit at first.

I think my next oldest wooly is my fair-isle sweater, which is probably from the late 80's. After that my Swanni from 1991.

oh, dang.

I just paid my cc down enough that i *could* get this vision of loveliness:

Are they the M&S Wool tights with feet? If so I have a couple pairs of those from just a slightly later vintage! I hadn't thought of them in ages and must dig them out tonight.

I've always been a fan of natural fibres but I was completely unaware of clothing brands like Ibex, IceBreaker, Smartwool etc until reading this forum. It's a slippery slope - I bought an Arcteryx merino tshirt and loved it. After reading posts on merino tights I bought Ibex tights (a discontinued style I think - called Rendezvous?) and now an Icebreaker tshirt.
