It's the Pearl Izumi Thermawool jersey, long sleeve and a bit retro-ish.
Just wanted any reactions/thoughts. There's a place right near me that is closing them out for around $65. Thought it might be a good addition for early spring/mid-to-late fall riding.

I love my retro l/s wool jersey (not PI, but I've never been disappointed by anything PI). For me, wool is a bit of a 'tweener. As you mention, it is perfect for the "chilly" days.

Since I can go and try it on before buying, the sizing is no problem.
Also, since they are being marked down from 90 to 65ish it seems like a much more interesting proposition. Wool is a great material, but if it weren't for the lining in this one I wouldn't go near it. I can't deal with having it right on my skin, especially when doing something sweaty.

The newer 100% Merino wool jerseys are pretty soft and not like the older wool/acrylic style.. If the jerseys are 100% Merino they usually have a fair amount of stretch..

I got one of these at Christmas time and I really like it. The sizing is definitely a little tighter, but it has kept me plenty warm. Also, it has come out of the wash without any problems.
