I want that new Shak "jersey." But, it's $135.00. Probably won't be at any discounters, since it's new...
I think I might be buying some wool LS shirts, dressier t's like the Kate. I already have 2 of those, so does anyone have any recommendations for something similar? I really can't wear wool any heavier than that next to my skin; even the Kates start to itch me a little, especially if I am wearing a Shak over it.

The long sleeve pointelle is really soft and nice next to the skin (and it's on sale). It's a bit sheer though so while it's not see-thru, it may not be a good protection from a shak if you find that itchy.

I really need some wool Injinji socks.
Wish I could find somewhere around here that stocks them. I haven't been much in the mood for mail order lately. except for that big order I just got from TESpeed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Be careful you don't buy any of the older wool injinis. The wool was very poor quality and fell apart quickly. (don't buy the ones on the sale page) Originally Posted by OakLeaf

When I couldn't find my book I searched Amazon, too, and this is the one that sounded right. But there weren't any pictures or excerpts, so I can't be sure. Originally Posted by malkin
