Gorgeous men's Ibex Shak full-zip jacket in a luscious double-knit merino ponte. Bombproof ponte is soft, cozy and breathable. This is a medium-to-heavy 100% merino wool. Deep dark black. I purchased this jacket second-hand as a restoration project. It was said to have a lot of lint and some stains. I spent a lot of time picking off pet hair, and a few undoubtedly remain. If you are allergic to dogs or cats, avoid this item. As for the reported stains, I treated some small surface discolorations that washed out. What remains are two light dots on the front (photo 11). I scraped both with my fingernail and they are now tiny , so I think will the rest will come out with wash and wear. (Toothpaste maybe?) The pristine-looking jacket has been moderately worn. The fabric on the back of the arms is smoother and slightly stretched. No visible damage. I judge the sweater to be at about 40% of its lifetime wear. As a seamstress, I collect lightly damaged Ibex to restore to a long
life. I only select pieces that I believe will endure, and are worth my
time and your money. The original Ibexes tend to wear beautifully, look
gorgeous, and remain comfortable in most temperatures for years. They
are worth keeping in good repair. Measurements: Pit to pit: 22 inches Length: 28 inches from lower back collar Weighs 1 lb. 3 oz. Easy care. Can be machine washed on cold (I use a mesh bag), air dry.
