the clothing is categorized by layer at the top of the page....because it's all wool, it kind of doesn't matter what you choose... ...they give you the weight of the wool in each piece.

If you must know...I actually do have a studio full of merino roving...
(wool sculpture and an intention to become a better spinner.)

ANd I will say it again...in the heat, nothing beats a merino T shirt...We built a shed this week...85 degrees...me in Ibex sleeveless...

I have seen some wonderful wool sculpture in my day. Here is some I liked at an art graduate students' thesis show last year:

(my daughter had her jewelry in the show)

This thought has occured to me on numerous occasions when paying my ginormous Ibex credit card bills over the past couple of years. Occasional free shipping codes are 'nice' but hey....

My Ibex collection is obscene at this point.

but at least we can answer the question about a "favorite clothing design/manufacturer"....I used to say,...uh, Levi's? or Yamamoto if I could've afforded it...


what school is that?

U Mass at Dartmouth (but the art museum was in New Bedford where the metals/art dept is located).

Well I have to say I was hoping for a happenin' new shak color at Ibex this fall. But no....same ol' black, same ol' "warm green" (that looks awful on me), almost identical brown (again), and now a murky cranberry to replace the purple-y heather from last year.

No Tomato, or Celadon, or Saffron, or Camel, or Aqua, or pumpkin or Eggshell, or.......???

Guess I'll have to give my credit card a rest for the season. Well, it's not like I 'need' more Ibex right now, so I guess it's a good thing.


I wish there were some bright red or yellow shaks that I could wear on my bike in traffic and be seen.
