<DIV>Lawrance,</DIV>
<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>

I took two Patagonia light

style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">silk
shirts</SPAN> on a thru hike this summer and loved the comfort-like hiking in my
pajamas. For versatility of warmth, comfort, and decent tolerance for wear
and tear, these were my favorite <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1193969920_50

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>
