Merino wool sweaters
« on: December 04, 2012, 09:44:53 PM »
So while I was at Costco tonight, I was admiring the 100% merino wool sweater for $24.99.  They have a quarter zip neck, and seem like they'd work real well for layering as part of your hunting clothes.  Told my wife what I was thinking and her look was not one of approval, made me laugh.

I love how that works!  If we said we were thinking about it for a family dinner, "Oh sure honey, throw it in".  Minute the word hunting comes out, we're in the dog house!  :chuckle:

I drop those types of hints.  I typically get the roll eyes look.  So I got the message, and i just return a few days later and buy it for myself.

Win - win!!   :chuckle:

My wife hasn't quite learned yet. She runs me through the why, how much, how good a deal is it game. If I want it I know how to answer all those questions to get it.  :chuckle: Hopefully my luck continues forever.

If it looked like it was good work, (do you remember the brand?) those 1/4 zips can run well over 6 times that price.

Those sweaters are awesome. Pretty much all I wear for layering anymore is 100% Merino wool baselayers and sweaters. They breath and insulate way better then any synthetic or poly shirt.

I never get questioned about anything. Of course, we're broke though. :chuckle: :chuckle:

My wife is pretty good about this, but she does point out that "another Box arrived today."  Just like Christmas, all year long.

Mine get shipped to my office.

If I remember correctly, they were Kirkland Signature.  Seemed like a real decent sweater for the price.  I looked through every stack and can assure you that there were no Max 1 or Mt. Mimicry patterns available, all solid colors, but lots of color choices.

Thanks for the heads up.  I picked up one yesterday.  There was a tag with the Kirkland tag which showed where the wool came from.

Really good price!
