200g 100% merino compared to Woolpowers 60%

I got some 200g Woolpowers from We Love Mountains for £20 a few months ago but they're out of adult sizes at the mo.

Chris I'm doing a Post Office run tomorrow. If you don't get sorted today my youngest son has a brand new, still in the box, pair of Aldi's, black, 100% merino wool, longjohns. They were bought XL for length but they're fine around his 34" waist. I thought he might use them under his suit trousers going to work in the frozen weather we've been having, but he's never bothered.
I think they were about £15.

If you want them, let me know and I'll post them tomorrow with the rest of the parcels.

For the record, I bought myself a ladies pair of these as a spare and they surprised me by being very, very good as well as a bargain

cheers,
Toddy

 

[Chris the Cat]

Thank you all SO much!
Mary,I am awaiting a PM from Jaysurfer,may I get back to you later this evening?
You Cats are great..Its been a rough week-end and I have come home to this!
Your kindness does you all credit.
Thanks.
C da C.

No worries If you need them I'm intending to head to the Post Office mid morning, so anytime before then would be fine.

Jaysurfer's sound like the better range though.

cheers,
M

Chirs i have messaged you...
If i know what size you are and i have some in the office i will give you FOC some HH thermals for the trip.
All we need to do is arrange for you to get hold of them.

[Jaysurfer]

Just checked and I can let you have a set bottom and top in Large...
Considering the company is norweigan Large is Large!!!
I think with them being marino wool it's about £100 RRP for the pair...

 

[Chris the Cat]

Pm'd back J.
Would it help to have my phone no.?
Thank you .
Chris.

You should ring John Smedley at Lea Bridge in Derbyshire. ( Near Cromford) They make Merino wool products and at the present they have underwear ( Long Johns, Boxer Shorts and vests0 and at the moment there is some going for £8 a piece. This is normally £40. I just purchased some vests and long Johns. Smedley only use merino wool from NZ.
