    I had a strange Ibex encounter this morning. DH and I were having our usual lovely Saturday morning breakfast at Ralph's Pretty Good Cafe (the small town cafe where everyone is friendly and sits and visits at each other's tables), when I noticed the couple at the next table whom I had never seen before- the woman was wearing what looked like a persimmon pullover zip shak! I had never seen one in persimmon before (I have a persimmon Zephyr and persimmon switchback items but not a shak in that color- I have only black and brown shaks).
    Well, I had to know for sure. I actually got up and *casually* walked around behind her, pretending to look out the window and stretch... to see if the little Ibex head logo was on her back....and BINGO, there it was! A successful espionage move! :-D
    I was wearing several Ibex items (as usual)- my beautiful larkspur blue Ribbie under my apple green Cortina vest, a burnt orange neck gaiter, and my Ibex Approach tights. I waited for the right moment when she got up and then I went to greet her and compliment her shak and point out my Ibex things too, hoping to commune with her as an "Ibex Soul Sister". She smiled cooly and thanked me but didn't seem the least bit friendly and just turned and left.
    I felt like hollering after her- "You are not WORTHY of your Ibex!" but that would have been too much I suppose. Besides, my husband would have had to kill me then. Plus, Ralph would surely have thrown me out.
    But I ask you- how can one not be happy and sweet natured when wearing a shak???

    Clearly she wasn't from around here.
    This is so funny! I hope the Ibex people are reading this!

    I have that very same persimmon zip shak. Got it on Steep and cheap for around $54. I love the thing!
