  Sachs did something similar later on, 3x7 I think it was.

  I’ve grown up calling them toques, I’m familiar with the variety of misnomers they’ve been saddled with : )

  Further to my toque quandary, I had tried handwashing and tossing in the dryer to ‘full’ the wool but it didn’t make any difference so then I tried the washing machine (front loader) and it worked much better. They’re still a bit too thick for my preference but have tightened up nicely and block the wind much better now.

  Anyone tried Airpaka? Swedish brand, 50/50 Alpaca and Merino blend.

  Unrelated, but I find adding vinegar to some part of the wash cycle helps to cut down on wax/oil buildup on my base layers. If I don’t do this they seem to not warm as well, even feel chilly when I put them on.

  I wouldn’t take seriously something that has a “waterproof breathable membrane“ and sells itself as a winter parka. The water vapour I produce just walking around has enough of a fight getting past all the layers of wool, cotton, nylon and down or whatever as it is.
