anyone know of a good place to get Ibex on sale? (oh come on, quit laughing!)
or better, does anyone else make stuff that looks like the shak? I love how it looks on me, sort of dressy, sort of not...

Okay, after all these months hearing about the Shak love, somebody please confirm my impression that I can't wear one.

I'm 5'3", bigger in the hips than the shoulders, and I have basically no waist (less than two inches between my bottom ribs and my hipbones). So any longer tops, unless they're really tailored, either fit me like a tent or bunch up above my hips.

I'm also not terribly tempted by anything that isn't machine washable... but you guys keep talking about these Shaks like they were crack or something.

Does anyone know if there are some good quality sources for plus-size wool jerseys and other warm and fuzzy items?

Apparently I will be spending any budget I had on my sick kitty. Good thing the movers will be delivering my stuff in early November and I can finally get to my wool Mom-knit sweaters.

Herald Cat needs to have a tooth pulled next week. And as he's old, and diabetic, this hasn't exactly been a fun ride, for either of us.

So sorry about your cat. Hope he'll be ok.

Why in the world is it taking so long for the movers to get your stuff to you? You've been there quite awhile now, as I recall!

so has anyone else found something that is zephyr-like, but not Ibex, but still wool??
Is Ibex really the only outfit that gets it?
Since SadieKate's helpful post, I have been hunting around on those websites and find a lot of 50-50 cotton wool and 60-40 poly/wool....

I guess maybe if a Shak fits the same as a Razzel, only heavier, I might need one. I luuuuurve my Razzel (which I was a little apprehensive about ordering, but took my chances and wasn't disappointed).


Beth, hope Herald feels better.

They seem to add new stuff at the end of every season, so there's a lot of summer stuff right now. I got the ribbed hoddie yesterday, and I love it.
