Hey GLC, my mom loves the jacket! She did mention it's a bit itchy but if it doesn't fit me she'll wear it.

Any IBEX items that don't have the scratchy feeling to them?

I haven't had itchiness with any of my 15 or 20 pieces of Ibex. (even the Ibex underwear!)

None of my ibex items are scratchy, but the silkiest smoothest ones are my kates and polo Ts. Shaks are soft, so are the norgie crews. The only piece that comes close to being scratchy is my ribbie, and that's cuz the ribs are rough feeling, but not really scratchy.

Ibex has a new full zip on their website called the 405. It is made of "milled wool". Does anyone know what this is? Would it be itchy?

Why to they always seem to announce sales a couple of days AFTER I place my orders?? I might just have to buy one of these anyway...I am loving that bright red!

And no, I don't know what milled wool is... The garment looks heavier weight in the pictures than what they are describing, so I'm really curious as to what this fabrication feels like.

I just placed a big ol' order, too.

On top of the one I placed a couple weeks ago.

(meanwhile, my kid goes nekkid cuz I don't buy him *any* clothes!)

After reading the description of the 405 full zip more closely, it sounds like it is felted wool. After the reports of the felted Ibex Switchbacks being unstable and shrinking I am kind of leery of this. I do agree about the crimson red color.

I second all of this.
I love the very slight rough feeling of my ribbies....on the other hand, a girlfriend of mine did not like hers for that reason, so we traded Ibex pieces and I got her ribbie.

Some items are softer than others. I was a bit surprised that my boucle items felt a bit 'scratchy' at first, but after one wearing, I stopped noticing it. I've foung that the softest Ibex stuff to be the 17.5 items (Kates, t's, underlayers...etc).

I only tried on the jacket once, and I never wore it, so I can't really offer any opinions of it. My guess is that after a wearing or two, she won't notice it at all. Did she find it itchy when worn over another layer...or did it just feel a little itchy on her hands?
