Wonder what the IQ of Smartwool sheep is?

If they were really smart they wouldn't be sheep.

[DebW]

If they were really smart they wouldn't be sheep.

Is that why two of them are standing upside down on the jerseys? They are smart enough to give wool instead of lamb chops. Maybe they did their own selective breeding:

"Hey, you there with the warm, silky, itch-free coat. If we had babies together, I bet our kids would have even finer, softer wool. And then they wouldn't become lamb chops. And if we can convince more humans to wear our wool and our kid's wool, we'll get to live in the best pastures and have better health care. All we need is good marketing. Let's call our wool MERINO."

"No, that will never sell. Let's call ourselves SMARTSHEEP who give SMARTWOOL."

They'll still wind up as mutton.

That jersey looks as though it's a series of pix of a sheep rolling over.

Deb, I am jealous. I don't think I'll be out there until our vacation in July (although one never knows, once school is out). I hope that by the end of July, some of the ss tops will be on sale.
My husband's computer never stops "ringing" with all of the specials from SnC. I keep looking for a black full zip Shak, but none of the places have my size. If anyone sees an x small anywhere, tell me!

Does anyone have an Ibex Qu T? How do you like it? How is the durability and sizing?
Thanks.

[KnottedYet]

I have one, and it's about 2 or 3 years old. Going strong, very durable. Still holding its shape just fine. No wayward threads or pulled seams or anything.

Sizing is just as true for me as all other Ibex stuff. (except the Pingo, which I got one size larger than usual thanks to TrickyTiger. Perfect!)

My Ibex Ultimate Guide sweater has a hole at the elbow.

Is the art of repairing sweaters gone or will I find any alterations person to just patch it at the elbows??

Find a knitter. Most would love the challenge

This morning I wore a cotton button front shirt under a cotton sweater with my khakis. I biked to work (short commute) and was a little bit warm when I got here. 5 minutes later I was freezing and I shivered the rest of the morning. Seriously, my fingernails were blue!

I rode home for lunch. After eating, I put my Ibex ribbies tank on under my shirt (it's not visible). I rode back to work for the afternoon and again was slightly warm when I got here. The difference is that now, 2 hours later, I am 100% comfortable. No more blue fingernails!!

Can I just say that cotton sucks.

I'm so naive....

I've been smugly prancing around in my Ibex, assuming it's made in the USA and keeping manufacturing jobs which we so desperately need here, not wasting petroleum shipping stuff overseas, etc etc.

Got a glimpse of a tag on one piece I was wearing last night: made in Turkey.

Ok, fine, I can deal with that. Maybe. (I don't like that piece much, so my heart wasn't broken)

But then I looked at the tag on the other piece I was wearing at the time: made in China. Grabbed the nearest thing to hand (my helmet liner): no origin tag. (?) My beloved Pingo jacket: also made in China.

Sigh.

You can look at the product details on their web site. Many of their items are in fact made in the USA, such as the Boucle and the Polo (which I got recently). I know the bra isn't. I think the Ultimate Guide Sweater I have was made in Hong Kong.

Such is life...

Ibex Lightweight Spin Jersey - Women's on SAC

Update on the Ibex Runner shorts.

Now that they've been washed a few times, they don't creep like they used to.
