Sorry, Beth - I'm not familiar with non-sheep's wool companies! Hopefully someone else here will have some ideas.


I have a question for everyone else who own's the Ibex Shak full zip. Anyone have problems with holes? I own 5 of these and so far, only my black one is falling apart. It probably gets slightly more wear than the others (but not THAT much more because it also shows dog hair more than the others!). In fact, I tend to treat my black one with a little more care since I wear it to work and try to keep it 'professional' looking. It's never seen a dryer and I probably wash it less often than the other colors. I just noticed that it's got a hole in one elbow and a few signs of unravelling in a few other spots. Could I have a poorly constructed one? It's not my oldest shak either as I bought all the others first because they were on sale. The black one is the only one I paid full price for, actually!

Should I contact Ibex or is this just the nature of wool and I need to suck it up (and learn to darn )?
