Thanks for the heads-up, RR. May I now blame you for the small fortune I've just spent on Merino?

Thanks RR - have been hoping to pick up a bargain before the winter - sorted

You wont need to. You'll get an email from Howies saying 'sorry, sold out'... at least, that's what has happened to me on the previous 2 occasions I have tried to order sale stuff from them.

i have found howies merino to be off dubious quality. it becomes misshapen where my other top from icebreaker, is still in fine fettle after many hours riding and skiing over 3 winters now

 

[Oldlegs]

I am curious.

How can a base layer get to be misshapen (if that's a word). As long as it wicks, keeps me warm and does not smell shape seems to be optional.

Whatever at £27 its worth a punt.

I hate it when howies have sales. It's always at a time when I have just about managed to save a bit of money for something else. I can't seem to stop myself from buying their stuff. I might have to take myself off their mailing list so I'll never know when their next sale is.

becomes misshapen when it gets washed, as thats what i do with my clothes after i have worn them

I'm exactly the same. And I've fallen for their very clever and evil T-shirt of the Week idea.

Well I've placed an order - never tried Merino before, and I'm waiting to see if they say out of stock.

 

[summerdays]

Well my order just arrived (I had been worried they were going to cancel as they tried phoning whilst I was out but left no message), my main worry is washing the top, I thought I could only dry it flat... but it seems to say I can tumble dry on low...

Is it likely to shrink or stretch? I bought the 14 but think I could of got away with the 12 size.

 

[Globalti]

Yes, if you wash it too warm it will shrink and become very tight and very hot to wear!

Don't ask me how I know.

I have a merino top and a pair of jeans from them waiting at the post office. Damn their sale, and my weakness!

I got an email from them yesterday saying that they've just dropped the prices again in the Carnaby street store and are going to do the same on the website in a few days.
