<DIV>Patagonia used to make stuff called SILK weight underwear...they were made of poly but felt like silk....I have an original shirt of this material and it has worn like iron and is a great shirt but it stinks! :)</DIV>

<DIV>Wow- that surprises me Lawrance. I thought all natural fabrics were "stink free". Are your <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1193969920_47 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">shirts</SPAN> maybe a blend? Maybe has some nylon in the fabric or something. Then I could understand.......at any rate, I'll check out the Patagonia site.....didn't know they made silk long johns. I'm mostly concerned with warmth as I get cold really easy and my heavy duty Patagonia kept me so toasty. Thx.<BR> Gail<BR><BR>"Lawrance H.

For versatility of warmth, comfort, and decent tolerance for wear and tear, these were my favorite <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1193969920_50 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">shirts</SPAN> ever. However, for all my nearly obsessive laundering of them on the trail, they both became rank after two days (I perspire a lot). Even after coming home, they still don?t smell quite like new. If any one has any good ideas for cleaning silk, I?d appreciate the hints.<BR> Lawrance<BR> <BR></DIV></div><br>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
