Wow! Wabi warns of 3 inches of shrinkage! Methinks they should be shrinking the fabric before sewing it.

More Ibex...
Picked up an Ibex Pingo to replace a ~9 year old Cirque Jacket. Still LOVE the Cirque for the softness/noncrunchiness/warmth factor, but the Pingo has some distinct benefits. First- I can't believe someone actually made a jacket that fits my body ie short torso, LONNNNNGGG arms (yes, I'm a monkey, my reach is 2.5 inches taller than my height). The Pingo is a little stiffer/crunchier, but better water and wind repellency than the Cirque. Looks fantastic- very simple, sleek, well-cut. Even wore it out to a fancy dinner to meet the S.O's parents!
Ahhhhhhh.

Ibex Loppet jersey F/S -- Small
Howdy.......After buying loads of wool this winter, I find I've got more than I can really make use of. (I know, a shocking thought
). I thought I'd offer one piece here, in case anyone is interested, before posting it on the For Sale/Wanted thread. It's the Ibex Loppet Jersey, beige, with black accents. (Tiny photo below. Couldn't find a bigger image.) Nice weight, not heavy---good midweight piece. Shapely, but not at all tight. Has a little bit of a retro style. Size Small. Paid @$75. Worn twice, I think. Happy to send it off to a good home for $35, plus shipping. PayPal only. No returns. Feel free to ask questions here or by PM..........Thanks!

I wore my brown Pingo on a walk this past weekend and I love it. I like it so much more than the Cirque jacket because it is a little bit shorter and just a better fit all around.
It does a great job of blocking the wind, yet it is warm with overheating. It's my favorite piece next to the Shak now. It is so nice and dressy. I wore it to work as a jacket one day too."Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."
