WoolWeenies Club

[Bad JuJu]

Ooh Ooh Ooh, my Ibex El Fito knickers arrived while I was out of town, and they're here just in time for a cold snap! Projected high/low for the Saturday morning club ride is 51/40 degrees F.

BTW, they fit beautifully. I'm borderline between L and XL, and the large El Fito is perfect for me. Can't wait to ride in them!

WOOHOO!

So, I have been joining the WoolWeenies club for a bit now. Always loved wool and cashmere. Over Thanksgiving I picked up a Smartwool hoodie at Second Ascent while visitng a friend in Seattle, got an Ibex switchback 1/4 zip for christmas, Smartwool 3/4 sleave at REI, and just ordered the Ibex switchback full zip from Sierra Trading Post. Now while I got all of these things on sale, and thought they were pretty good deals, I scored the biggest deal of all tonight.

Title 9 was having their annual blowout sale in San Jose and I found a pair of the Ibex loose tights in brown for... wait for it....$32!!!!!

WOOHOO! I rock! For those of you in the Bay Area, the sale is on the rest of the weekend (and prices will only be going down), they did have a number more of the loose tight, but in XL (I got the L for those of you who know me) I didn't look real closely to see if they had any smaller ones. PM me if you want info and directions.

PABadger - do you do a lot of travel between Seattle and San Jose? I'm doing a lot of travelling between Hayward and Seattle. Let me know....

Wool is always available in Seattle, "Land of the Wet Dog Smell."

Knot-
Thanksgiving was actually my first visit to Seattle. My best friend and her husband moved up there over the summer for post docs. I am going up again in March though, me, one of my other friends from SF, and a friend of ours from WI are going up for a girls weekend with our friend in Seattle. One of the things I am going to request we do while I am there is go back to Second Ascent....I didn't get a lot of time there last time as they were closing :-( I want to dig thorugh the second hand stuff again!

I really liked Seattle though, and would love to go more often, unfortunatley I am trying to finish a PhD this year, so that eats into the travel time :-)

We should have a TE get together next time you are down in the Bay Area.

I'm coming down in March, the weekend before the Cinderella. I love Second Ascent! Make sure you get to the Kavu outlet down the block, too!

Ooops, I guess I've hijacked this thread enough!

What about wool tights for guys? My husband wants a pair. Has anybody run across any good deals on them, or sites with closeouts?

[KnottedYet]

The men's tights at Ibex are still $130, and the 3/4 length knickers are still $120.

Keep an eye on Altrec, they have some good deals now and then.
