Oh MY!

Just got my Ibex shipment.

I haven't touched the Pointelle tops yet (I got a red and a black) but that scoop-t is SPECTACULAR.

I am quite distressed that they do not have the kelp colour in small anymore. Only black. Now I would order a black one but I just got lots of new black tops so it would be a bit much.

But I LOVE it. I wish I had ordered it in more than one colour.

Oh my gosh. Why did you start this thread? Sales at Team Estrogen, Ibex, and Backcountry, oh my. (And the Pingos are now 45% off / $68 for the Labor Day sale at Sierra Trading.)

Cool summer usually means a cold winter following in Minnesota... I'm using that as my excuse for stocking up on woolly items. Um, I can save on heating, right?

I got my Pizzi skirt from Ibex today - it is cute! The wool/cotton combo still has a nice feel and lays smoothly like all wool. It is apparently cotton side on the inside and wool on the outside from what I can tell. It has a nice soft feel, and the little pocket near the hem is barely noticeable. I am very pleased! Tokie

Right. You're doing it for the economy and the enviornment. Yep.

Just ordered a couple lightweight Smartwool tops on sale:

and

http://www.teamestrogen.com/product-view.ep?pID=101270 (right here on TE, in black)

These should be good on our boat when it's warm and as base layers during cooler times of the year. The black one will be nice under my (one and only) black Shak!

Scored big time at Nordstroms Rack this weekend. They had sleeveless smartwool tops for $24.97 and short sleeved t's for $29.95. I bought two of each! They also had a bunch of other 'summer' wool things like a strappy tank with a shelf bra and a short sleeved shirt with a collar. I really needed some layering wool pieces (sleeveless for cycling, t's for work) so the timing was excellent!

I should use that in my ongoing lobby to convince by DH that we *need* another golden retriever That, and our dog would really like a friend...

It's fall!

I spent the day in an ibex sport bra, with a short sleeve merino t shirt, with the ibex serrano full zip bike jersey (my favorite layering piece ever currently), smartwool socks, and an ibex softshell over top.

I'm all snuggly, soft & warm.

I need Ibex pants.

Anyone has had success with their pants at work? In a business-on-the-casual-side kind of office?

Does the Ibex Serrano jersey run small or if I normally wear a Medium jacket, is it safe to say that a Medium Ibex jersey would fit me?

[Cataboo]

I have the medium - I can show it to you on Thursday. You're much thinner than I, but probably have longer arms. But I think ibex sizing if fairly normal.

Grog,

I'm not sure whether or not you can get away with knit wool pants as business casual attire - but I have the loose tights & the izzi pants and like them both...

Then they have the more softshell like pants- the alpstar.
