Those SteepnCheap mannakins look like "Ease on Down the Road/Keep on Truckin'/R.Crumb" kind of posture.

$40+ dollars for an undershirt??

I have this one in solid gray. It's the one I always wear biking. I loooooooooove it!

If I wasn't spending all my $$ supporting the airline industry, I'd be all over this! Nice color! Right size!

I just got my first purchase from Ibex. The loose tights will be going back. The larges (12-14) were too tight on my rear. Everything else I own is a 12 and fits ok. I should have listened to KnottedYet. Great sale on them too from Ibex. Nice weight pants and I loved the little zipper. I just can't seem to make myself order the extra large, especially since they charge another $6.00to make an exchange. Maybe I'll try the smartwool twister pants instead. Anyone have those?
I forgot and threw my first merino wool purchase in the dryer, it shrunk to an amazing degree of tiny. I gurss I'm still in a learning curve with this wool stuff.

"Threw" ???!!!

Wool should be dried flat on a folded towel away from direct heat and sunshine and turned every few hours (round the clock).
Pegging and hanging sox is permitted (unless they are very thin or very thick)

Sandy- I have both the Ibex loose tights and the smart wool twister pants. I usually wear an 8-10 in pants (I am really a 10 in the booty-thigh area generally) and I have the large in the loose tight (still snug on the rear, but not in a bad way) and I have the medium in the smartwool twister pants, they are much more forgiving. Still snug on the butt, but much less than the Ibex, and looser through the thigh... I would think that the large would be fine for you. I love both, but they are really different. The twister pant is a lot thinner and softer, more like the smartwool tops. I really like the rise on them, it is a nice mid-rise, below the belly button on the hips, but not low cut by any means.... no plummer but potential there :-) Since they are lighter weight I feel like I can probably wear them for more of the year compared to the Ibex loose tight. I plan on wearing them on some of the really long airline flights I have coming up (think 16 hours on a plane), I thought the Ibex ones might be too warm for that length of time sitting on a plane.

Finally, the twister pant does come really long, they even tell you this on the tag, as they expect it to shrink some when washing. They say to wash cold and dry on low heat. I did this, and they did shrink a little bit, but really only in length and not too much. If you really need the length I would also keep them far far away from the dryer.

Enjoy!
