saw these yesterday in a wool store. BEAUTIFUL!

She's right. The new style Shak full zip is lovely and is more versatile (easier to dress up for work). DH bought me the dark purple--I love it (color and style, of course). This purple is very dark, almost black, like an eggplant. Couldn't resist and ordered another in the turquoise green! Shaks in two of my favorite colors!

By the way, the turquoise comes in the "original" shak full zip style. It's $10 less than the new style, if that matters! I went nuts and got the more expensive one.

Ugh, damn you! Now I'm shopping for Shaks again and I've got that purple in my cart!

(I really want a nice, bold red. Maybe next year?)

GLC -- The turquoise arrived since I posted and the color is better than pictured on the website. Very rich and jewel-like. You could compromise and get the traditional Shak instead of the new style in that color, save $10.... Trust me, you won't be disappointed. It will give you a nice burst of color for those grey winter days.

I actually have it. I ordered what I *think* is the same color in the old style last month and I've worn it a bunch of times already! It's a bright turquoise color, right? Man, the photo for the older style one on the website is awful! It's totally misleading.

I really love the arctic blue color that they did the Indie Crew in...they need to do a shak in that one next (after red, of course).

Yes, it's the bright turquoise. I'm relieved that you already have it! Because I was afraid it would be sold out, I decided that I'd better buy it while they still had it in stock.

Next year, I'm hoping they do a dark green, something more toward blue-green instead of yellower greens. And a royal blue.

I was going to order a few things from Ibex but I just can't bear the $44 shipping fee to Canada. I am happy to pay the taxes and duty (to say nothing of the premium prices to get made-in-not-too-far-away clothes that fit well for years), but their shipping costs are just too steep.

Next time I go to the States I'll have to order things in advance and have it delivered to my hotel or to my parents' place in Florida.

Or drive the 55 miles to Bellingham WA and buy Ibex at REI or one of the other mountaineering stores there (you can order online and have it delivered free to the REI of your choice); or drive the 140 miles to Seattle and go to one of the stores here that carry Ibex (including REI Flagship) and have a rockin' ride and wild party with the Seattle TE'ers at the same time!

Parteeeeeeeee!
