I think I could get used to the smell but I hope that my co-workers can

. I wore my Smart wool shirt last week on a morning commute when it was chilly. I sweat a lot so I had to dry it on my space heater under my desk. Let's just say that there was a unique smell eminating from my office

. I'm waiting for someone to ask what it is.

Were you cooking it?

I love the smell of lanolin and wool.

Original Buff:

BTW, I saw that they now have a headband buff would might make some of you happier.

I think my big-headed hubby likes the length of the standard Buff.

Our wool Buffs arrived today. Yahoo, they're actually @ 28.5" x 9.6” so they can be nicely doubled or worn balaclava-style without leaving a gap at the back of the neck. Since they're about the same weight as the microfiber version this is perfect for our cold winters. Thin, soft and yummy.

BTW, the red (grana) is a sort of dark cranberry in real life. The grey is a bit variegated so it isn't boring.

I can't stop laughing! Maybe I'll turn the heat down next time.

Especially if it starts smelling like mutton stew. LOL

Thanks for the review! The Grana one is going on my Xmas list!

I've done a search here and googled - still can't find it. What is SAC?

Thanks!

Presumably it's Steep and Cheap. I wish I'd never heard of it.

Has anyone tried merino base layer pieces by Kombi? It's less expensive than Smartwool or Icebreaker, but I don't want inferior merino.

News flash - for the male wool weenies in your lives...

Twin 6 is having a 25% off sale today only and it applies to their long sleeve wool jerseys. I'm debating - they are nice looking and I know Twin 6 does good quality work.

Says their merino wool items are from China.
I personally won't support and don't trust '100% merino wool' from China, and I just won't buy it no matter how cheap.
