IBEX ALERT!!!!

There is, at last, a store carrying a decent selection of IBEX wool shirts in Vancouver, BC.

They didn't have much: Shaks in black and green, skyline full zip in green, and men's shaks (full zip in black and short zip in black and gray I think), and a few woolies.

Nonetheless, I am very, very excited.

I got myself a Shak, and some undeclared (for now) goodies for my sweet partner, who'll be getting lotsa wool under the tree this year.

This made my day! I talked the store employees into Ibex and told them to get the manager to order MORE!!!

Plus, thanks to a strong Canadian dollar, the prices were the same as in the USA. Yeah!

According to the Ibex homepage, their Free Ground Shipping policy is going to end with the new year arrival. Alas!

It never applies to non-USA shipping anyway. They don't even give us a discount.

Yipee, I got my undies late Saturday and I am going on a ride today with my new wool bra! I'll let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed it keeps my whole stinky bra issue to a minimal issue. I'll let you know how it goes.

Good find!!
Note that Ibex is currently out of most men's shaks in L and XL, but you can apparently still get some at Udans.com.

Where have wool bras been all my life?

So I went on a mountain bike ride today. It was very chilly and windy, worked up a good sweat because of all the snow and ice that made climbing a little more difficult.

My bras are usually soaking wet, this bra transferred the moisture very well, I even kept this bra on after the ride (usually to soggy to do to this with other bras). There was still some moisture but not like I'm used to.

Must say I still stink like there's no tomorrow (apparently the medication is still too potent for wool). But love my new Ibex wool bra for the soggy factor! And it kept me nice and toasty! Thumbs up, plan on ordering more when the pocket book allows.

Thanks for the tip (and all the great recs on this piece as well as the sizing info. from all)! I just ordered my first IBEX sweater, the shak in gray on sale. I ordered it to go with some black and dark gray wool pants I just got, and I especially want to use it for a feb. trip to the northeast, as well as when a cold front hits us here in south texas. Based on what you guys said about sizing, I ordered the small, hope it works out!

Its been years since I owned wool. Even though I live in a mild climate when I lost weight I found I got cold a lot more easily, so recently I bought a wool suit, pants and the above sweater. What do you think of those Dryell cleaning products (where you briefly put the items in a large zippered bag in the dryer w a treated sheet). Will the pieces last longer cleaned this way, dry cleaned, or hand washed?

I'm not so sure the "Thistle heather" color is actually gray. I think it's more like a grayish purple/eggplant. On my monitor the full zip shak in Thistle looks clearly grayish purple:

Might go well with your grey pieces anyway though.
Anyone have a 'thistle heather" piece and can let us know?

Hope your shak fits well when it arrives!
