I've been successful finding really nice slippers (Acorn) on STP.

Well, about the pockets, I've had no trouble with my precious PI wool jersey. But, I know what you are talking about, Oak. I've had that experience with lots of jerseys. Of course, it happens when I stuff my pockets with all sorts of things I think I need on a ride.

Crankin - look for Earth Wind and Rider jerseys. I love mine - it's a thinner style wool with three rear pockets. I just found one on sale at Voler for under $100.

Thank you!!!
ETA: SheFly, how does that jersey run, in terms of sizing? They don't have extra small, but there is a small. In my experience, Voler jerseys run small, but since this is a different brand, I am not sure. I don't mind the length a little long, but sometimes the sleeves are just huge on me.

Hmm - mine is a men's cut jersey (it came from New Belgium Brewery as a gift from DH), and a size SM. With a base layer under, it's definitely NOT skin tight. I think the Voler site had a women's cut, so it would fit a bit better, with shorter arms.

Duh. I didn't even think of my Hincapie LS base layer as something that could be worn alone. The white one I definitely would not. It's super lightweight (which is why the white one is completely see-through even when it's dry), runs small and comes in XS. My Small one was skin tight before I lost all my upper body muscle.

I am wearing the Smart Wool quarter zip right now. It fits perfectly, tight, but I could wear a Craft base layer under it. It's not even too long. It is so soft, I don't want to take it off! I will definitely use it for riding when I have a jacket or vest on, x country skiing as a mid layer, and alone for running or hiking.
It would have to be really cold for me to wear this as a base layer.
My only complaint is that I can't stand anything touching my neck and the turtleneck comes up a bit too high for me. I have it partially unzipped, so that's fine.

Couldn't resist this one: http://shop.ibex.com/Apparel/Womens-...ez-Wayfarer-PO

First, I bought the purple and after receiving/loving it, broke down and got the black.

Added a new Shak---the deep blue (Oxford?) is irresistible. The rest of this year's colors aren't calling out to me.

A couple months ago, I got the Juliet Tunic in black polka dot, which is a nice piece as well. I'm not crazy about the Juliet patterns/colors this year, but I love tunics/longer sweaters. This is one that I can wear with slacks to work.
