Well, shoot. For some reason I was thinking that Uncle Dan's didn't have my size. That was when I was think about getting an XL. They DO have a L.

I may try to cancel the Mollie. If I can't, I'll let you know Knot.

Try it out, first! You might love it!

I find the Shak pullover to be like a heavy shirt, about the weight of a rugby shirt. I'm hoping the Carrie Hoody is heavier than my Shak pullover.

Yes, it looks like I will have to. When you call the number listed it goes to the store and they are "currently helping customers on the floor". I guess they don't have a special number for online orders. I didn't realize they were so close to me. Atlanta, GA. My order should be here in 3 days.

BTW, the Mollie jacket at Uncle Dan's is on sale for $146.50, so at $97.50, I did get a great deal!

I have the full zip not half zip shak, and while the weight doesn't feel very heavy, it packs a pile of warmth. I think the weight of the carrie hoodie is similar, its just a very different knit, the shak is much softer, the carrie is that boucle, scratchy if it touches your skin.

Weeeeell, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Sandra,
The Mollie jacket is beautiful. I tried one on in a local store and it just did not fit me well, with very long sleeves. The crab apple color is gorgeous.
You'll probably love it. It gets great reviews on the Ibex website.
Let us know what you think when it comes.

I do agree, the Mollie Jacket is very nice, I just found it ran tight in the bust so I needed to size up with layers underneath, and didn't buy it just cuz I didn't really NEED a heavy wool jacket. But it is a very beautiful piece. I tried it on in charcoal gray. I was tempted, at 50% off, but just didn't need it. I was also tempted by the strato sweater that site also has at 50% off, but at this point I am done shopping for the year, and with 2 shaks I also simply don't need it. I've never seen a strato sweather but it looks *very nice*. But I gotta save to pay my kids next tuition bills, so no more wool for me.........

What's the zipper like on the current full-zip Shaks? I just picked up an older (I think two seasons back) full-zip in a really light Sea Mist blue. The zipper is a big ol' sharp toothy metal one. Not at all like the zipper on my half-zip Shak, which is a nice fine-toothed softer one (and I think is just one season back). Hmmph.

That Thistle Heather sure is purty... I might be tempted to return the Sea Mist older clearance Shak for a full-zip newer Thistle if the zippers are nicer. Help! Need enabling!

Urk. Wait. I don't need more enabling. I just ordered the Dash tights, Alyx jacket, and a pair of gloves off of Ibex last night. And then this morning I logged on and noticed the new thongs. OMG, THONGS!!! Yay!!!
