Grog,
You will find a tracking # for your order on the Ibex website under "my account" and the specific order.

I just got my crimson red 405 full zip. The color is beautiful and the fabric is very soft. Softer than the shak material. It seems very warm and cuddly.

It seems that Canadians don't get that... I didn't get one for my past two purchases and there is none posted as of yet (for a purchase I did last Monday...)

I don't think it's a Canadian thing. I also ordered last Monday and never got a tracking number either (none was posted on my account).

My order came 2 days ago, but I haven't been able to pick it up due to my work schedule! FRUSTRATION!!

Ok, I finally got my Ibex stuff today!

I only got to look at the items at lunch today (I'll try them on tonight) but at first glance, I'm super happy. The Rossa Hoody is VERY cute in person. I can't wait to try it on. The plan is to wear it to work tomorrow if it fits!

The cadence T is also extremely cute. I have a sneaking suspicion that it'll be worn to death this summer!

And the boucle jacket is exactly what I'd hoped. It's identical to my Carrie Hoody but without the hood. Trisk, whatever Carrie hoody you originally tried must have had issues - this boucle is the same as my carrie hoody boucle and it's definitely not scratchy. Overall, it's flattering and cozy. And like Trisk mentioned, it's a tad darker than it looks in the photo which is perfect for me as it'll better camoflauge the dog fur from my two tan dogs!

That is so interesting, and explains why I hated the carrie hoodie and vest that I tried on. Also the sizing was off on the ones I tried on, since those fit me better in M when every other piece of Ibex I have fits best in S! In fact, that is why I didn't order the bella vest, makes me want to reconsider..... Are you SURE the fabric is the same boucle as your other pieces?? Does it catch easily, that's all I worry about. If not, maybe I need to order a bella vest to layer over my shaks next winter........ Does anyone know how the sizing runs (i.e. do I need an M to layer over a small shak?).

I am still wearing my ibex. Its so overly air conditioned where I work, I wear my ibex polo Ts with a shak or boucle on top now every day, even when its 80 outside!

What I wouldn't give for just 1 day at 80 degrees! We haven't topped 50 degrees in over a week!!

I'll take another look at it when I get home and I'll also compare the fits. I've never tried on the bella vest, so I don't know how the sizing runs on that (though my guess is that it's the same as the carrie hoody). Stay tuned...

Trisk -

I compared the boucle full zip to the Carrie Hoody. Exact same fabric and fit is pretty darn close. The sleeves on my Carrie Hoody are a tad longer feeling because they don't have the little band thing at the wrist. Of course, on a vest, that won't matter anyway. The only difference is that my Carrie Hoody feels a tad heavier, but I think that's because it's got pockets (with lining) that the boucle zip does not (unfortunately). If your boucle fits you in a S, I'm sure a Carrie Hoody will too. Again, I can't speak for the vest though.

Other reviews:

The Rossa hoody is awesome! It's a little low cut in front for work but it would be a super sexy 'going out' type top. To work, I'll wear a camisole under it. It's a bit more fitted that I would have expected, but the medium is still the right size for me (as almost all my Ibex stuff is M), so I'd say it's true to size but slim fitting. Very flattering with the band falling right below the bust and the flair in the bottom hitting my hips nicely. It's actually more flattering on me than I thought it would be! I think it'll be really cute with a blazer over it, too.

The Cadence T is really nice on. It's defintely fitted, but cute. It's a bit more 'updated' than a regular T with the contrast stiching and the almost cap sleeves. I love it and I foresee wearing it an awful lot this summer.

GLC - could you post a picture of yourself in the Rossa hoody? It sounds cute. I'm disappointed that the clothes aren't shown on models on the Ibex website anymore. Would this top be too warm if it was 75F and sunny? (Or, more commonly here, 68 and foggy) Thanks! Tokie( who can't wear her Shak 'til she gets her club (cast) off of her left hand)

You are a bad, bad, bad influence went to look at teh Rossa hoody and ordered it. Not really what I need as we are heading into the summer in Houston, but it is a cut that I can not refuse. I have a bunch of t-shirts in a very similar cut and they are my favorite shirts right now.

On the plus side I did find a 15% of coupon for ibex, so that helps justify it a bit more (at least that is what I am telling myself )

OK, back to paper editing.
