    Do the sleeves on the jackets run any longer than their sweater sleeves? The sweater I have is almost bordering on too-short sleeves for me.
    The sleeves are longer than normal! And I have longish arms.
    The arms are a bit slender.

    I actually ordered one in each size, thinking that one would work. The small is too tight in the arms, the medium is good and the large is good too, so I couldn't decide. Besides, the large is black/purple and the medium is bark/red.

    Brewer used the word 'erotic' to describe the wool.

    Something about this jacket reminds me of Le Petit Prince.

    Damn you, malkin!

    I just used a huge chunk of my Q4 bonus on Neve sweaters from Sierratradingpost! I ordered 3 for me and one for my husband. I should be locked up.

    Maybe I'm lucky that their sweaters don't quite fit Along with almost every other wool clothing company out there.

    Really, jess...

    You do know that if the fit is a little off in a wool garment that you can block it to fit you!

    I went underneath my bed today and pulled out my wool stash. Apparently, I have gone all winter wearing wool without going into my wool stash.

    So I sorted through it and a lot of it will appear on here in a few days.

    Anyone interested in a very slightly used (like maybe 50 miles total) pair of Ibex women's cycling shorts, size M? I can post pics if anyone is. Not sure what I want for them. I'd consider trade (wool).

    I don't know if I can fix these! Most of the shirts fit perfectly through the shoulders and sides but are too short and/or the sleeves are too short. I guess I could buy up a few sizes but even that is no guarantee

    Unrelated - the one wool "t-shirt" I have never smells b/c of me sweating, but seems to be the only thing that comes out of the wash all stinky. How do I fix that?

    If what you mean is that it smells like sheep when it's wet, the way you fix it is by learning to love that smell. Particularly when you're sweaty and it's the only thing you smell of ... or on a winter day when you've washed all your wool and are drying it in the house.
