We've tried a wool jersey group buy once before.... got really close, but not quite. I think the company was from Portland, used wool from Australia I think? It would have been my first wool jersey, still never tried one. I do have a regular pearl izumi jersey that I since bought, I do like it. I believe IAB headed that one, but we were just a few buyers short of a minimum order. I think IAB would agree with the herding cats thing. It seems beneficial to somewhat limit the choices, otherwise it never seems to come to a conclusion. I don't have the time or energy to organize a group buy, but I may be interested in it if the price was right.

I wouldn't want to be the one to try to administrate the project. Too much trouble, based on previous attempts I've seen. Which is too bad because I think it would be a cool jersey.
