Ibex Wear wool shorts and knickers?

[KnottedYet]

Right now they're having a clearance on winter stuff and some leftover summer stuff from last year. Got my long sleeved t shirt for 1/2 price. Check their website often, cuz it seems like the items in the "outlet" part change every couple weeks.

I'm just trying to restrain myself until the biking knickers go on sale!

And, yeah, I'm a stinky chickie; but whoa-nelly does wool cut that problem down to size! And I've washed the boxers in the machine several times with no pilling or losing shape. No runs, either. Unlike some wooly brands I could mention.

Ibex stuff is the greatest! And I'm one who avoided wool for years because it made me itch. The REI cycling staff told me about Ibex tops last year--"wicks great, doesn't stink", and I have several. I also find Smartwool socks to work well too.

I knew there'd be a Kiwi connection somewhere...

Got an Icebreaker, too. AND a gen-u-ine Swanndri (blue and black). Looooove that NZ wool!

Now that I'm a confirmed wool socks fan, I'm curious about other garments. How do you go about drying the shirts and pants. I have to use the dryer but can use the lightest setting.

Do you have to buy a size up the shrinkage factor?

Hi Quillfred- Seattle eh? Doing STP????? (yes, some of us from here are!)

I too am a confirmed wool socks gal!!! I also have wool shells from REI and 2 longed sleeved wool undershirts with scoop necks that I got from REI as well. I wash them in the washing machine and then let them dry on a hanger. My machine gets garments pretty dry anyway. I just got my size and they haven't shrunk at all. The dryer and hot water is what will do them in!

The likes of Icebreaker and Ibex and Smartwool are designed to be machine washable, but yeah, use your machine's wool cycle or a cold wash to be on the safe side.
