The Arcadian Shop in Lennox, MA now has an online store and currently has all their Ibex at 25% off. They seem to have the full line of Ibex in stock in most sizes. Check it out at http://www.arcadianshop.com/.

Thanks DebW for the cue!

I could not bear being a WoolWeenie without a full-zip black Shak. So I ordered one!

Deb, you had to tell me about Arcadian being on line????

I don't think I'll be able to come out to the Berkshires on the 31st, but I will let you know as it gets closer.

So, this is probably blasphemy... But I'm not feeling the love for my ibex full zip shak that I just got from REI. I keep reading new posts in this forum about how much you guys love yours, and go back to look at mine... and nope, just not feeling it. Maybe it's because I bought the brown color.

But I still love my half zip shaks & hoody.

how much don't you love it? are you my size?

I'm not keeping it. It's a brown small. But it's stretchy!

The ninny who owns the condo above me left the heat off, which led to his pipes bursting and me needing a new ceiling. So I'm gonna be a bit cash strapped until I can get said ninny to repay me - so no keeping things that I don't love.

I have a new love: Ibex Woolies Sleeveless top. Just got it from TE at 25% off. I love my Woolies long-sleeved top too, but this one I can wear under something else without overheating indoors, or alone in the summer. The Ibex site doesn't have these any more, so maybe I should order a 2nd one from TE?

Of course you should. If you only have one, what do you wear when it's drying?

Behold the power of wool:

It was between 35-40°F for yesterday's ride, so I wore my SmartWool crew as a base layer, a synthetic jersey over that, and my PI Vagabond II jacket on the outside. This morning the jerseys were dry enough to throw in the laundry pile, so I gave them a sniff before tossing them down the chute.

The jersey I had on over the wool positively reeks. I'm sure the jacket could use a washing too. I'd already worn the SW once for hanging around the house, but even though it was the closest layer to my skin, it still doesn't smell. Amazing.
