Nice but etiquette guy’s etiquette.
I was  probably the biggest culprit of posting items under auction until
I bowed to peer pressure and was made to see reason. We have tried sizes on signatures
Maybe we should think about a data base posted on here with likes, sizes etc
For all members inclined to do so. That way if you spot something that isn’t your size
You can offer it in a pm to a brother. What do you think?

Oh. Didn't think of that. Will send messages from now on, thanks for telling me.

Awwww.  How cute.

Wish this were a size smaller -

Odd because I've got an early '60s Pendleton 49er in a Medium that fits smaller than this one.

The same seller has got something which I've never seen before and find very odd... a short sleeve WOOL Pendleton button down. 100% wool and short sleeves?? Anyone care to wager a guess as to what purpose that could have possible served, or under what circumstance and climate it would have seemed appropriate?

I've seen  a few. They're not uncommon.

Pendleton being primarily a maker who catered for those who live the outdoors life,  I would presume the short sleeve wool shirt is essentially casual outdoor active wear.

In the right conditions Wool would outperform Cotton because Wool is as breathable as Cotton,  it is obviously warmer than Cotton and it's ability to wick away moisture and dry more quickly make it s far better bet in  certain circumstances.

If it's a cool day, but not cold, you have some hiking or scrambling to do (so you'll be sweating) but when you stop or reach your destination (fishing spot, camp site, summit) you don't want to be chilled in the cool air,  Wool is the choice.

I would recommend one Oliver if you're planning any more hiking expeditions between now and October. Tis the season for short sleeve Pendleton.

I dunno what the climate is like in the hills you're talking about Oliver but in the UK, like in many places in the US you can do yourself some serious harm wearing a cotton base.

Cotton holds moisture like very few things can.

The expression used by hill walkers is 'On the Hills, Cotton Kills'.

And it's true!

Merino wool base layer Oli, never cotton - if not merino then man made fibres.
Had a watch on a few short sleeves myself, but never bought them.

I guess you've all seen this by now...
