Darn. I would have bought one too, but my size is gone.

[sandra]

OK, Knot. I'm going in. I normally wear like a 10-12 at the most. I guess a Large?

[KnottedYet]

I normally wear a 12 or 14, and I wear a large in Ibex. (I think I just bought the last Large Carrie hoody from High Country, and it was in Thistle, too!) I have very long arms, so I just tend to buy large enough to fit my arms. But Ibex Large not only fits my arms, it also fits my torso!

Luuuuuuuuv Ibex!

[sandra]

That was supposed to be MINE.

So, I'm considering the Mollie Jacket, but I'm afraid it might be to heavy for here...and the Bella Vest.

With free shipping, I suppose I can always send it back if it doesn't work.

That was supposed to be MINE.

If the Carrie Hoody doesn't work for me, you get first dibs.

That Mollie jacket is very nifty, it tempted me also. From what I know of wool Boucle and Ibex's felted wool, I'd expect the Mollie to be just slightly warmer than the Carrie, if anything. (I have a wool Boucle vest, and one of the old-style felted Ibex Switchbacks.)

If the Carrie Hoody doesn't work for me, you get first dibs.

Deal! I'm going for the vest for now then I think.

[KnottedYet]

A medium Carrie Hoody might fit you, if you are usually a 10. Why not get the last medium (in charcoal) as well as a vest?

temptation is *good*!

[sandra]

I'm on hold with high country outfitters. I have canceled the mollie jacket and the carrie hoody. I'm going to go ahead and try the vest.

[KnottedYet]

Be sure to tell them we love their prices and their free shipping and their no-tax!

Damn you, Woolweenies!

Thanks to this thread, I just HAD to check out HighCountry and I just HAD to get another Carrie hoody! But, to be fair, I also found the rain jacket I just tried on at REI yesterday for $30 off and no tax. I bought one for both myself and my DH. So it was worth the visit even though it did set me back another $220.

I still covet a black full zip shak...but I can't afford it just yet. Ugh! I'm afraid they'll sell out everywhere before I can spare the cash to buy one!

Oh, and for anyone looking at both, the full zip shak is definitely heavier than the half zip one. I have last years full zip (in orange) and it's more jacket-like than my half-zip...which I would consider more of a knit shirt. And the full zip has a heavier weight zipper to go with the heavier fabric. Love them both, though!!
