    I'm interested in the black one. Is it a S or M? Is it plain?
    It is plain outside of a logo on one of the sleeves. I will have to check on the size, it is either a medium or large, can't remember which. If it IS a large like I think it is, it runs small - I wasn't able to actually wear it last year - it fits perfectly now though.

    The shorts sound perfect - I wouldn't have expected to wear them in warmer temps than that - time for my bibs when it gets that warm.

    I will check on the size and confirm when I get home tonight - it will likely be after 9:00 when I can get to it. Will also post a picture at that time. The logo is rather small and not unattractive.

    I don't need a picture, it sounds good. I just didn't want the one with the giant "SWOBO" across the front, which I saw when I was googling. M would be better than L, but I'm not too fussy about size. It could be a little big.

    PM me your address, since I know you moved since our last transaction.

    lph, you look gorgeous! I love those dresses.

    Will go ahead and send the PM, and no, it isn't across the front at all. Regardless I will confirm the size once I get home. I do not think you will find it too big.

    I'm going to guess that the jersey Catrin has is the same one I am wearing in this photo:


    It's one of my favorites!

    And I agree: LPH, you look great!

    It's pretty! I'm sending Catrin the shorts right now, so sorry if anyone else wanted them. This happened fast!

    It isn't the same jersey, I did manage to find :



    This looks quite similar, but the neck is different on mine. You can see a portion of the logo on one of the sleeves, it is in the same place. It looks better in person than in this photo.

    Haha oak - I now have a really funny visual in my head. But I don't think it smells like sheep...more almost mildewy/rotten. Unless that's what wet sheep smell like. I usually use Arm & Hammer laundry detergent but maybe I need to switch.

    (I've smelled the rotten smell in clothes before, in an apartment with a washer that was growing...something...in it, but at that time ALL of my clothes smelled yucky. Maybe the wool is just more sensitive and this is my warning sign)

    The photo you posted is the same jersey I am wearing, just a different color. It fits beautifully - curved like a woman and plenty long enough for my longer torso. Of course, if your neck is different, then all bets are off.

    I was trying to tell in the photo, I thought yours had a different cut I think this is probably the same jersey or very, very close.

    I agree that it does have a beautiful fit

    As it turns out, the shorts I traded with Red for are just a little too large for me, or my body doesn't like the padding material - or both - but sadly I cannot wear them. However, if there is someone else who wanted to try them out let me know! I would be open to trading for something else wool, but it isn't absolutely necessary. The Ibex shorts are size medium.

    Sorry those didn't work out for you. Like any shorts (or saddles), they either work for you or not. They were highly reviewed on Ibex and a lot of people loved them, so hopefully they will find a good home.

    I love the jersey, btw. I can't wait until it's warm enough for short sleeves!

    It is a lovely jersey, and I am glad I had two of them! The black is nice but I do like the blue better.

    I am still unsure if the problem with the shorts is they are just large enough to cause the padding to chafe/itch as my body moves or if it is the actual padding material that I am sensitive to that causes the itching. Regardless they are nice shorts and I think they would be great under tights for now, or by themselves in another month for someone who can wear them
