Wool GSM and other wool stuff…

When I first started buying merino clothing, I didn’t pay attention to the gsm of the items. Nor did I look at the percentage of wool in the clothes. I have since learned better. Lower gsm is good for warm weather or an under layer but I need the higher gsm for colder months (and yes, I still have to layer).

Another sign of aging…

This one is simple – clothes should be comfortable and presentable. Period. I no longer need to appease the fashion gods. Simple looks, looks that skim the unsightly (to me) body parts. Colors that make me smile. Material that’s soft. 

What I don’t like about wool…

Seriously, there is ONE thing I don’t like about wool that wasn’t an issue with other materials. I have an iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch and they all collect fingerprints and smudges. A lot of them. It used to be easy to just swipe them with the bottom of whatever casual shirt I was wearing.

Sadly, not with wool. All that does is smear the surface more. Sigh…
