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.

Eager to see what you've got!

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 would be interested, assuming they don't run small. I wouldn't have any other shorts to trade for, but do have a SWOBO SS jersey that you might find interesting

I am wearing my Ibex skirt today.
I've only worn it once or twice, even though I've had it for 2 years. It's hard to find something that looks good with it; I love the wide waist band and it is very flattering, but when I pair it with most of my sweaters which have a new, longer length, it becomes very unflattering. I have one shorter sweater from about 5-6 years ago and with a tucked in shirt this looks OK. I tried it with a Shak, thinking I could have an Ibex "suit," but that looked awful.
I think this is a short person's problem.

That might work. What color is the jersey? The shorts don't run small.

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.
