...The second one would strangle you in your sleep and eat your liver while it was still warm.

I wish I knew....
well, my poor as a churchmouse son bought me wool for Christmas. he went to Value Village and picked out 3 sweaters. One was a celadon green/blue merino perfect fitting
lovely sweater. I liked it so much I wore it for christmas.
then an orange hoody; nice and perfect for around the house.
The last one is a purple/maroon made of this bumpy stuff, 50% wool.
I keep missing the very best Ibex sales.

Icebreaker zip-t $33 at Steep and Cheap
mens, in black and in molasses/light brown.
I can wear a men's medium, but I already have the women's version.... can I justify it? SURE! Always room for more woolies, eh?"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Patagonia Wool Baselayers--Santa brought me a poppy colored zip-T neck (wool 2). It seemed thin, compared to my Smartwool base zip-T necks (med weight--these are my new holy grail baselayers, making me abandon my Craft winter baselayers). This morning, I wore the Patagonia on my ride. Very very soft. Softer than the Smartwool base layers. Felt heavenly against my skin. Well made--no cheapo construction. Seams nicely finished, etc. Kept me warm and dry, even though I worked up a sweat. I give it 4.5 stars out of 5, just because I am not yet sure how it will do when it's bitter cold outside (it was in the mid to high 30s when I rode today).
Found a Wool4 Patagonia zip T-neck on sale and ordered it. LOL.
