R, R, R,..............very funny. Actually, I didn't mean stink- free. I meant that the stink washes out..........instead of like the poly phew.<BR><BR><B><I>Jerry Goller <jerrygoller@backpackgeartest.org></I></B> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <STYLE type=text/css><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></STYLE> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16544" name=GENERATOR> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=068525502-02112007>They still make it.

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.

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?
