Here is the LBS I visit when I'm over there.

On Monday, I called in to say hello and get the news from the guys there.

They had just taken delivery of their 'Shop jersey'. A nice number in Merino wool with the shop's name on the chest. Black and green with yellow trim.

$149.00 + tax at 8% = $161.00, which is close to £100.

Incidentally, I was told Steve Jobs ( Apple Computers ) had been shopping heavily in there since Christmas. Then I read he is taking a six month holiday for medical reasons. Californian 'Tripple Crown' more like

Merino is fairly expensive... but I bet they got them in bulk (cheap!) from here:

Yup, you're prob' correct, but I still wouldn't pay a ton for a shop jersey.

Beats me why the locals there need wool???

Because merino wool is trendy at the moment?

Americans love that kind of thing (as in pledging their allegiance to their favourite team/shop/ice cream/NASCAR driver etc.) I mean, they make car mechanic's shirts for the public to buy - can you imagine that hear?!
