Sustainable and Affordable: Women's TNeck from Ibex
by Justin Thomas, Virginia on 11.20.05
This midweight T-neck from Ibex is sustainably made with 100% merino wool. It costs $55. The merino wool comes free-range New Zealand sheep. Merino wool is a non-itchy, breathable fabric that can worn for days without retaining odor. It beats all kinds of synthetic fibers in terms of warmth retention. :: Ibex
The Posted Price is wrong. Ibex sells a simple T-shirt for 65 and the prices go up steeply from there. Sustainable? Maybe. Affordable? Not for me.
Not sure what the problem is -- the link takes you directly to the item listed at $55.
I LOVE Ibex Outdoor Clothing stuff and have for a number of years. I ski a ton in the winter and think their Shak top is killer as is their new line of cool US Ski Team tops such as their IceFall jacket: http://www.ibexwear.com/F05/View_Product.php?GarmentID=456&thePhoto=../Photos/F05/498U_56414.jpg&Category=&CategoryLine=1019#
Of course, like you already said their Ibex Woolies are amazing and I can go a full season without having to wash them since they never stink like fleece or polyester. Wool is cool in my eyes.
Ibex seems to do it right. Jeesh, they ought to pay me to say all this!!!
