I just got my first wool jersey for half off. I did not see it as kissing their ass. I emailed them, they emailed me coupon code, I bought, end of story.


I am glad this did not get posted in the market place because I never go in there. And I hope no one takes offense to this, but sometimes the strict forum rules stuff can be a little over the top.

I'd avopid your offer just for your atitude. So if I get a defect that needs return, then you will say that "I need to kiss your arse" since I'm the one that need your customer service. Sketchy attitude if you ask me, Pfft!

Other dealers have come on to make offers. Very friendly considerate attitudes worth consideration.

It wasn't that difficult for me. I followed Tim's simple instructions and sent him an email requesting the code. He replied this morning and I ordered!
Hooray -- I haven't had a wool jersey since the '70s!

Sometimes it's more appropriate to post in a specific sub forum if the post in question targets that subforums membership .
(does that sound like some weird double speak? it does to me).
what I'm saying is that I think Tim's post is appropriate for this forum and I personally appreciate the avoiding 'spam' stance.

I'm a little leery of buying wool garments for that reason. That said, looks like Swobo has some nice stuff as long as it stays true to size.

I have 2 of them. My washing machine is a front loader, and I wash them on gentle cycle/cold water with woolite. I dry mine on a a drying rack. No problems to date. They're not race fit jerseys, and are (IMO) very comfortable.

Thanks GreenRiver! Bummer that the jerseys I wanted aren't included in this coupon deal. Oh well. :( I was looking forward to trying their merino wool.

If the shoe, er shirt fits wear it, we are special and deserve extra love.

Thanks for opportunity, most were gone by the time I was able to order, but was able to sneak in a couple of shirts, one was even wool.

thanks for the offer tim. i thought about purchasing stuff from you guys before, but i was never able to get passed the logo. i really dislike it and don't want to wear anything that shows it so prominently. it looks like children's fonts - like a joker tshirt or something.

i've seen and held your clothes and always thought it was excellent quality, feel, and cut . . . but that logo . . .

just thought i'd share with you some very real customer insight. for this customer YOU'RE 99% there. the logo just feels like some wannabe trendy clothing label. i don't know if it's supposed to be for the fixed gear kids, hardcore racers, retro grouches, or what. just doesn't seem like swobo as a brand knows what it means.

either way, 50% off is a great deal! thanks for posting.

Man, Swobo is the bizness. As soon as I finally dump below 3Xsuperfat I'm going to invest in a bunch of it. Good looking, great materials, and seems like a great company. This is yet another example - thanks ya'll
