I am naughty.

I am very very naughty.

I've looked at the fish T for awhile.
Thankfully they don't have any x smalls. I did see this somewhere (STP?) for a lot less money.
I just spent 83.00 at STP, using the coupon someone here recommended. I bought a pair of longish board style shorts that come with a cycling liner. I know I will wear those all the time, without the liner. I also got 3 pairs of merino cycling socks and 2 wicking t shirts for hiking/paddling or short commutes into town.
Can't go more than 2 weeks without buying something.

I've been pretty good the past couple of months, my wool buying has really slowed down. I have a big merino stash at this point though, so it's not like I'm 'suffering' or anything.

Hey, how do you woolweenies store your wool in the summer? I want to protect mine.

Our Shaks were perfect for the weather we had while traveling for the wedding. After we got home, dear hubby couldn't find his. Somehow it got over in the dirty clothes bag. He was almost in a panic!

I live in the PNW, so I wear my wool in the summer too....

But next time I go to a variety store or to Ikea I will buy bits of cedar that go in the drawers. I don't want the mites chewing holes in my lovely Ibex!

I have told myself quite firmly that I am not allowed to buy ANY more jackets.

The jacket purchasing must stop!

(but that's all I'm limiting at this time...)

Oh yeah, sure....easy to say -probably right after you've bought yet ANOTHER jacket!
Kinda like vowing to give up alcohol when you're still loaded from the night before...

'Storing'??....hmmm. Here in the northeast we'll likely only have about 6-8 weeks where most of my wool will be actually too hot. Probably not worth the trouble of 'storing' it elsewhere. I'll mostly just be digging within the motherlode for the shorter/lighter stuff for the summer.

<whisper> yeah, that's exactly what happened. don't tell Trek... </whisper>

I told my mom that a package will be arriving @ her abode for me & should she wish to try the jacket on, she can If it doesn't fit me then at least it will have a home..

Oh good -- I can't be tempted, then - I need XS too. Whew!

I bought a pair of longish board style shorts that come with a cycling liner. I know I will wear those all the time, without the liner.

What brand were they?
I bought a pair of Harlot shorts with their "beaver comfort zone" liner.
Ward,the Beaver was not in it's comfort zone. I think I will be removing the liner and wearing my favorite Performance shorts underneath.

ROTFLMAO! I'm curious - is the "beaver comfort zone" their technical term?

Zen, I've bought 2 things from Sheila Moon and both of them fit poorly or just were different from the way they looked in the catalogue.
So, it doesn't surprise me that the shorts (or whatever they are called ) don't do what they are advertised to do.


Lisa,
Yes, my buying lust for wool has gone down immensely because I keep wanting it to actually BE spring like. But, my buying needs do not just include wool, unfortunately. The stuff I bought from STP is summer stuff for tooling around on my commuter bike or walking. I don't need any new jerseys or shorts and I am usually good about buying just one new jersey a year and recycling old ones.
