The 2 Ibex short sleeved shirts I bought at the Arcadia shop last month are kind of itchy, too.
I am bummed.

Uh-oh....is this a trend?

I think the Norgie long sleeves on sale are plenty soft though- can someone confirm that?
My Indie shirts are too slim to wear a softer base layer under. I didn't notice they were itchy until I had cut off the tags and started wearing them. I never figured anything Ibex would not be soft and dreamy.

I have 3 Ibex Norgie crews and they are very soft. I do not find them itchy at all. They are not a real slim fit. I wear them a lot in colder weather.

I have a solid color Norgie crew (last year's maybe?) and it's nice and soft. It's a bit heavier than I had thought it would be, too - kind of like a thick t-shirt weight. I really like it!

Well, they are tight, but I like shirts that way. I guess I could wear a camisole underneath, but that would sort of eliminate the wicking properties, if I wore it while riding or hiking.
I am going to keep washing them.

My Indies have softened a little bit after several washes and fabric softener. Just enough to keep them and wear them. But they are still not as soft as my other merino things.

my indie crew came...i tried it on with all my sensors on itch? but it seemed quite soft.
My Norgie is also soft. I think my favorite is the sleevless T though...which is roomy AND soft!

Just scored a lightweight pink very soft merino turtleneck at a thrift sale. Will make a wonderful first layer for cold winter commutes!
