www.swobo.com is finally open.
Better late than never.
Prices don't seem that out of line for highend wool; they do sell a $$$ jersey made out of nothing more than polyester.

Good stuff!

It's nice to see them back.


Although $27 for a T-shirt is a bit steep IMO...but like a sucker, I'll probalby buy one.

I feel like a total geek saying this, but I love my long-sleeved Swobo jersey.

This one's for you, jeff.

Good call Vlad. I still sport my boat drinks jersey with pride.

Vlad is spending too much time in the basement archives.

Thats were all the good posts are.

I was nice and there was no Stan.

I kind of want a black, sleevless merino jersey from Swobo, preferably with a martini glass graphic embroidered on the front.

 

[Vlad]

I emailed Swobo about sleevless jerseys a couple days ago. No response yet.

They'll get back to you in 5 years when you check this thread again.

I really dig their stuff. I still have my original Swobo long sleeve wool jersey from like 1996:

Looks like you got your money's worth...

14 years later and it still itches when worn. Try the newfangled wicking materials available today that transfer the sweat to the outside of the garment to keep you cool.

Yup! :thumbsup:

It isn't the least bit itchy and is quite the opposite. In addition, Merino wool wicks away moisture and breathes to regulate temperature. And it resists odor, something the newfangled materials don't do. I have a mix of Craft (synthetic) & Icebreaker and Ibex (wool) base layers and I prefer wool. Glad to see Swobo is still making sporty wool jerseys. :thumbsup:

Indeed, my wool jersey is one of the better bicycle-related purchases that I've made.

 

[Vlad]

I still have not heard back from the guys at Swobo regarding sleeveless wool jerseys. I suspect that they're busy with some sheep.

I think it is just there crappy customer service style not to answer any question.
They were also just bought out by Santa Cruz bikes.

They've answered my email in the past. And, they've been co-owned by Rob Roskopp for a few years now.
