Women's Old Faithful Sweater

6/17/2015

I love this sweater from Mountain Khakis! I'm 5'6, 123 lbs and got a Medium in eggplant. The sweater fits me well in the shoulders and body. The sleeve length is just right, covering enough of the wrist to keep me warm but not too long that it's in the way when I use my hands.

I was not sure what to expect for color, I'd never owned anything eggplant before. So happy I took the chance! It's heather eggplant actually, the color works great with tan, stone, cigar even basalt.

As usual, the quality is great and the details - again - are what get me. The cuffs have a couple of tastefully engraved metal snap buttons and the full front zipper is made of heavy duty metal. The side pocket seams are reinforced and the pocket interiors are lined with ultra soft micro fleece. I really appreciate to be able to zip up my side pockets when I carry keys.

I am reaching for this sweater every time the weather lets me, either as a jacket on top of a tee or over a merino wool top when it's chilly. I haven't noticed any pilling of the fabric except for the side pockets, which doesn't show because of the heather color.

When Kurt and I looked for mugs, our main concern was durability and insulation we also wanted to enjoy our meals using top quality tableware. We gravitated towards the Snow Peak Titanium mugs but the price was too steep for our budget, especially that the ultralight titanium feature wasn't our top priority.

We were so thrilled to find the Snow Peak mugs (stainless version) in an outdoor shop downtown Minneapolis! For half the price, the stainless cleans easily and stays odor-free. Tomato soup or tea, these mugs add some glamour to our life in the outdoors.
