Bummer. Shop won't even give me enough to buy an Ibex.
Guess I'll have to try another shop. Poopy.

yeah, I think someone mentioned it a few pages back. Sounded like the quality was less than adequate.

Good!
I'm not tempted, then!

Just curious, who said the portland cyclewear wool was less than adequate? Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Oooh, www.rei-outlet.com has a bunch of Ibex on sale 40-50% off, plus a few things have an extra 20% off if you order before midnight.
And there're Ibex Nolita and Cube jackets on sale, too. They sound nice and warm! ($136 or so)"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

On page 8 there was a brief discussion of them (starting at the top) and near the bottom Mimi posted that her dh had a bad experience with a jersey from them. Originally Posted by jobob

Ah-ha, found it, finally.
(I have my forum options set to view 40 posts/page so page #'s don't help me much ...)
The good news is, Portland Cyclewear just started using a new type of wool. It's still 100% merino but it's supposed to shrink a lot less.
And the bad news is, they're behind schedule on account of switching to the new wool. So it goes.
If & when I get my jersey, I'll let y'all know if it seems less prone to shrinking than their previous jerseys.
