Re: [RBW] new sweaters/vests
June I want a vest *now* -- if they get rid of the shoulder wings. I lucked into a high-neck, button front pullover from Riv's original wool product portfolio (good bus-speak buzzword, that) that is very nice for cycling, but for everyday wear a vest suits me better.

This wool has thicker fibers than merino, which makes it scratchy but also should make it wear longer. As soon as they're available, I'm buying a commando sweater for my son, who is always wearing a sweater, usually with holes in the elbows because he wears them out. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] new sweaters/vests
Ah, should have replied to this one ;^) I second the pockets request. I always wondered why the old sweater had 3 but the vest only had one (3 is better). Also, could the placket go a bit lower and have a couple more buttons?

Re: [RBW] new sweaters/vests
Add one more for rear pockets; and, for that matter, for chest pockets.

[RBW] new sweaters/vests
I purchased one button wool vest at the last Rivendell Garage Sale and it has become my favorite article of clothing. I like it even more then the Rivendell wool sleeveless shirts. I run hot so I wear sleeveless shirt on top alone - bicycling at 5AM in the coldest parts of Bay Area winters. But when I sit for awhile in the winter the button wool vest over my sleeveless Riv shirt keeps my core warm. And I wear vest over sleeveless on Sundays at my caretaker job at a church so I don't look like Marlon Brando in 'A Street Car Named Desire' - just wearing a tank top [Brando and agnostic me at church?]. *Grant, in the Rivendell tradition I want to purchase two more button wool vests before they become unavailable [don't open the door to my camping equipment and bicycle parts and accessories storage room as all will fall out like at the ship's cabin in the Mark Brothers 'A Night at the Opera' - smile].* -Dion -- *www.youtube.com/user/mdionysos* * * ** -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
