I am wearing my woolywarm cardigan right now. Very warm and comfortable. Going on 4 years old and holding up well. On Jan 18, 9:00 pm, manueljohnacosta wrote: > I want a cardigan. Teachers should all have cardigans! with leather > elbow pads! > > On Jan 18, 6:31 pm, Seth Vidal wrote: > > > > >

My in-laws gifted me with a WW vest when they were still available. I wear the crap out of it. The neck is great when I don't feel like taking along a scarf, and folds down out of the way when I'm not so cold. It has holes in it and the corner of the rear pocket sags a little lopsidedly. I will pro

Also am hoping they actually do arrive. Will order at least one, mebbe two. With a huge caveat - depends on the actual sizing of the item. Hopefully XL will be made. And hopefully it isn't "starving Italian" XL. Used to wear wool/tweed sweaters back in college. Would like to do so again, if f

I have one of the Sugoi Long sleeve wool jerseys that is kind of what you describe, one small pcoket, very heavy 100% wool design with a simple retro front logo. It's my go to top for nightime winter rides in chilly So Cal. That said I'd love to get one of the Wooly warm jerseys... esp in green! ~

The blue trainer Riv offered had a small wooly warm logo with a lamb on it. That's plenty logo right there. I would've bought one but I only had enough money for either the trainer or the heavy wool pants (remember those?), and picked the pants. So yes, a Pleading For list might be cool. Beth > As

Eric, At least around my family, "starving Italian" is an oxymoron. :) My father has been known to say that his epitaph should be "He never missed a meal". Bill Mennuti On Jan 19, 7:26 am, EricP wrote: > Also am hoping they actually do arrive.  Will order at least one, > mebbe two.  With a hu

Actually, my main worries are (a) european rather than US (over)sizing. Although am quite comfortable in most XL clothing, with, say, Rapha, XXL is still tight. (b) with the higher cost of items, would not surprise much if the only offerings were S, M, and L. Then would be on the outside looking

Sizing amounts to a black art and varies radically from manufacturer to manufacturer and from country of origin to country of origin. Americans are unfathomably huge to much of the world- both in height and girth. If you travel a bit you will often observe that Americans tend to be both the ta
