I could wish JonesWares specified their fiber and fabric sources, though... but I'm taking a chance on that tank. From what you said, Crankin, following their size chart and going one size up from Ibex should be just right.

EEEEEEK! Found a tiny moth in my amoire!
In my sock drawer - which has many wool socks. Nearby is my Shak, 2 ibex sweaters, 2 ibex skirts and a cashmere sweater. and more wool socks. What should I do? Will washing take care of this problem? I read on Martha Stewart that you should wrap items airtight in plastic wrap and freeze for a few days/thaw/ and refreeze to kill moths. I did that a year ago when I brought home some of my mother's sweaters that did have moth damage then I repaired them and washed them. Any suggestions? Do I need to clean out the armoire entirely as well? Thanks for any advice! tokie

Eeek, I don't have any advice for you Tokie, but here's a link that both validates the freezing method (72 hours at 0°F, thaw without removing from the plastic and repeat) and tells you how to identify clothes moths. Let's hope the moth in your drawer was some random other species that just happened to get in there.

Unrelated: long sleeve Ibex midweight crews half price in black or white. Men's and women's both ... I'm getting one for me and one for DH's birthday.

Got the JonesWares tank. Excellent service.
Fit notes: It's as long as the discontinued Ibex tank, but the arm holes are bigger. I think Medium is definitely the right size for me, but as compared to the small Ibex tank, it's bigger in the shoulders. So overall it fits looser across the shoulder area.
I'd shave maybe an inch off the measurements in their size chart. Their size chart puts me smack in the middle of Medium; in actuality I'd say I'm on the line (as with most brands
).
