I have 2 Ibex Razzels in excellent condition, one is green and and one is maroon (both size S). Never been in the dryer, no visible signs of wear. I can photograph them if you like, here are the current models: http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/product.../womens-razzel

They look very nice as dressy tops, but I would prefer to have 2 black zip-T neck Zephers instead (pure black, no piping) (also in womens size S).

PM me if you are interested in a trade.

I just ordered my first wool purchase for the season - a nice Ibex wool balaclava. I took advantage of the 20% sale at TE this week to get something that I knew I would need.

Pity they didn't have this LAST week when I got my gloves from them

After finally getting home last night on Seattle's icy streets (we're having a winter snow storm), I check my mail, and there's a box. I've been ordering stuff, and figured it was something I had ordered. Nope, my sister sent me a presie! Of all the appropriate days to get wool socks, yesterday was one of them - especially since I was wearing dress shoes with my wool slacks. Was really happy I didn't have to walk home.

So today I'm wearing one of my new pairs of wool socks - little sister sent two pair as a "house / toe warming" present. And I'm staying home, telecommuting.

Back in merino every day now again... feels so good!

It's 15 degrees out right now (I know, not all that cold for some of you Canadians) and while I love merino...I've moved on. I'm wearing my down jacket in the house and it's not coming off

I got a new Emu merino sweater the other day though. So warm and cute...but so recognizable that even though I WANT to wear it every time I go out, I can't.

Me too!

I've also been teaching myself how to knit and crochet. So far I've made a pair of merino fingerless mitts which are great indoors when the house is chilly (I can keep typing) or outside as a second layer over my gloves. But they were only so helpful in this week's -22C temps. In theory it will warm up again before the end of the week, in the meantime I am headed home to the states for turkey, trimmings, and other winter fattening-up foods.

Next up (after I finish Christmas gifts) is going to be some nice warm leggings that will go under my jeans for when I'm out walking the dog.

Does anyone have this: http://www.ibexwear.com/shop/product...z-long-sweater

Opinions? I am looking for something to layer under my REI LaSelva trenchcoat (http://www.rei.com/product/794282) to extend its temperature range, especaially for travelling when I don't want to bring too many clothes but may visit different places with different climates. How low in temp do you think I could go with a zepher, shak, pez, and rei trenchcoat? That is would it be as warm as my north face primaloft lined trenchcoat?

Any info. on styling? Most reviews are good but one called in frumpy and I DO NOT like frumpy.

Any info. on fabric? I am imagining it will be like my shak but not sure.

Any info. on sizing? All my ibex are small, but to layer over the shak and under the M trench I am thinking to order it in M. It is expensive, but I have a 20% off coupon......
