Title: Merino wool sweaters
Post by: couesbitten 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 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:

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.

Post by: 7mmfan on December 05, 2012, 09:04:36 AM: 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 buddy's would keep it for themselves.
Mine get shipped to my office.
The brown truck guy hunts. He sees where it came from and it typically follows with a "what ya get this time" :chuckle:

Post by: couesbitten on December 05, 2012, 08:20:46 PM: 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.

Post by: yajsab on December 07, 2012, 10:12:31 AM: 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!
