It's from Norm Thompson.

It just arrived on Saturday, and while the sleeves are a bit long on me, it's a keeper. I will probably have my seamstress hem them for me as there is no petite option. It's a super light windbreaker, perfect for the spring mornings when it might be raining/drizzling, but you don't want to get sweaty in something lined.

I just started putting away my cashmere/wool sweaters as I have finished wearing them I wash all my sweaters at home so much easier and cheaper than the cleaners. You can buy Eucalan which is a wash for wool and doesn't need to be rinsed out.

I dried 2 cashmere sweaters outside yesterday, it was breezy and it didn't take long at all. Wash in cold water gentle cylcle in a bag then dry.

Thanks for the tip, jackthebear. I've never heard of Euculan, but will try it now. I'm also in the process of putting away my sweaters ... they have already been cleaned, so I will try the wash next fall/winter.

See you at our usual place on Saturday morning ... have a great week.

Thank you. I haven't shopped Norm Thompson for a while, now I'm definitely to look at everything. Sleeves will probably be long for me, too, but they usually are.

Love the belts! I have a belt that I wove on an Inkle Loom in the 70s. I'll have to bring it out and wear it again. Thank you for this post!

For anyone that was interested in these, I ordered from Amazon for $54.99 (Prime) in my usual size 8. They run very big! I will be returning, but with Prime that is free.
