MENS WOOL VESTS — 2012! Plaids and More.

Oh the weather outside is frightful… but we’re warm inside, wearing our men’s 100% wool vests of the highest quality.

Why does wool keep us warm?

Wool’s warmth comes from a high concentration of special fibers. The fleece of sheep is made up of cylindrical fibers that have overlapping scales on the surface, like shingles on a roof . These fibers have a natural waviness that work together with the scales to give it extra bulk that traps air pockets, acting as an insulator. Thus, warmth!

To our collection of 61 wool vests, this year we have added several Herringbones, Wool Pinstripes, a new tan Tweed.  We are spotlighting four new authentic Scotch Plaids imported from Scotland representing the clans Ramsay, Robertson, Thompson Camel and to top it off the world-renowned “BLACK WATCH”.

Our most popular plaid vest over the past two years has been this Red and Black Scotch Plaid. We sold out and had to rush order another shipment just in time for Christmas.

In addition to these four Scotch plaids we found another soft brown and blue 100 % wool plaid from Pendleton, Oregon.

More Colors That Look Good On You!

In our last blog we talked about the colors that look good on those of us with the fair hair and complexion that we matched to SPRING.  We talked about categorizing color groups according to the seasons of the year.   Winter people look good in the bright vivid colors seen at that time of year, Fall people look well in the autumn colors.  Let’s talk about SUMMER!

ARE YOU A SUMMER?

The summer woman has rosy, delicate skin tones, ranging from very pale to a deeper rose-beige.  She can usually trace her lineage to northern Europe, the British Isles, Scandinavian countries or the Netherlands  Her hair gleams from ash blonde to brown, gray brown or even black.  Eyes shine clear blue, violet or hazel and she identifies with the pastels of June and the soft colors of sea and sky.

Note: As we progress through the seasons keep in mind that you may not be a pure “Spring” or “Summer” but a gentle mix of the two.  Nothing in nature is that simple.  These are only helpful suggestions that have worked for others that you might try.
