Oh no! My Ibex/Smart Wool order from TE came Wednesday and the boy shorts were the wrong size. They were large and I ordered smalls. I re-ordered in medium, since they were out of the smalls and the smalls I have are a bit snug anyway.
The Smart Wool microweight was fine, though.

I was packing for a trip yesterday and was struggling because of having too many choices.

I found 2 small ibex norgies with tags that I've never worn - one's the green tonic color, the other's orange persimmon... I got them on SAC a few months back. I think they were about $40 each - so if anyone wants them for that + the cost of shipping them to you, let me know.

Just got an email from Ibex.
I am bad.
But, the stuff was 50% off. I ordered 2 Kates, one in the green that Lisa has and one in cranberry.

Help me get over this addiction.

You, a MEDIUM? What would that make me, a XXXL????

I only have one Kate- a black. (shouldn't you have a black one too?)

I am tempted to order another 405 on sale- I wear the one I have like ALL the time now.

I have been thinking about getting an Ibex Kate, but am concerned that the fabric weight may be very light. Does the scoop neck come down very far?
Thanks for any input.

How is the Kate sizing?

I'm hesitating between S and XS... Any input?

[Crankin]

Lisa, I guess you were talking about the green in something else...
I tried the Kate on at the Arcadian Shop last year (it's been a year guys. Do I feel another road trip coming on?). It was pretty true to fit for an xsmall, except the sleeves were a bit long. But, that's par for the course for me, unless it's a petite.
On the boy shorts, well they always fit me weirdly. My bum is a lot smaller than it used to be, but it's never going to be firm... but it's more my cycling thighs. The smalls sort of ride up a bit because my thighs are bigger than they used to be. They fit over my azz, but I think the mediums will fit better.
I wanted the Kate precisely because it is light weight. I will probably wear it under my sweaters or Shaks. Just think, I now can have an Ibex "suit." A Shak, a Kate, and a skirt.
