lol!
from the knickers description:

...each garment has a unique Baacode that is traceable back to the source, a sheep station in New Zealand, and through the manufacturing process...

Duh, thanks for hint, malkin! Now I can not only read it, but see the prices displayed in USD. Dangerous! I've bookmarked the site for the next time I get a bonus at work and I want to splurge.


And redrhodie - definitely lets us know how those kickers turn out. I assume they are chamois free? If so, I'm VERY interested myself (for biking AND running).

I did not get any offers to buy the whole lot together in one lump, so I'm opening up the bunch to sell individually. 6 tops of 100% merino (one has sold already). See above link in the For Sale forum. Thanks!

Just got my Ibex FT Hoody dress!

...And it looks awful This dress is sooooo generous in the waist/hips that it makes me look like a cow. I'm trying to decide if I should exchange it for something else or just return it. I'm so sad, I was looking forward to it for a week.

Thanks Lph! It's definitely on my "must resist" list now, which is one step closer to actually ordering it!

Thought I'd pop in and say hi since you have all influenced me already! Love wool, I'm a knitter and I usually would have these conversations about skeins of yarn but now I can converse about merino bike clothes. I've been plotting my commute debut for the year and want to thank you for reminding me that wool resists odors. Can't tell you how many times I've gotten an off odor from a synthetic after a workout. Seems to be something that gets embedded in the fibers as I haven't found a detergent that eradicates it. Plus I stick with 'free' types of detergent.

Anyway, started at Goodwill last night, then moved on to TJs and found that I had missed sweater season, they were all sold off or packed away. Used a Sierra Trading coupon for a bunch of wool socks then scored a couple of merino base layer tops at Overstock. That will get me started. "Thanks" for bringing Neve to my attention! While none of those sweaters made it into my Sierra cart I will keep that brand in mind for sometime when the budget allows new work clothes (not often these days!).

I could and have (in my head anyway) wax poetic about wool in all its sheepy goodnes. Is the trend in synthetics a plot? :-)

your friend in wool,
Linda

I doubt you look like a cow, but I know how you feel. I found the cut of the Ibex dress (especially because of the pockets) put a lot of emphasis on my hips, and my hips don't really need any special emphasizing. That's why I sent mine to lph, who I knew has the perfect shape for this dress.

Maybe try one of their skirts instead. I have one that's more A line, that I wear a lot in summer.

I was just about to boast to you, rhodie, so I'll do it here. I wore the dress to work and have gotten so many compliments on it all day, and some of the girls were really miffed that it couldn't be bought here. They all want you to send them dresses in the mail too

So I had to snap a photo outside the ladies room - here ya go - bad quality but I felt a bit selfconscious standing there in front of the mirror I love it!
