Been shopping for base layers & came across these guys based just down the road from me in Derbyshire. Great advice, prices & service from Chris (the owner): http://www.embersmerino.com

Me too. I now have two full sets of base and midlayer and the quality is tops.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It's good to support companies like Embers. I remember talking at length to the lady from Embers at a ski show 4-5 years ago (which is how I originally heard of them) and she is a Kiwi and goes out to NZ to source the merino. It's just better than the Chinese stuff and like for like cheaper than Icebreaker because it's sold direct and there's a middle man missing.

spyderjon, Great to hear you're pleased and thanks for introducing us to the world of Snowheads. It sounds like some people already know about us which is great news!

Hells Bells, Many thanks. Very satisfying to think they'll be off to Monetier (one of our favourite places!)

spyderjon, Yup Embers are great, and sign up to the John Smedleys mailing list from their factory just a bit up the A6 from Embers in Lea as well, not sold as such but their merino roll neck jumpers make great base layers and are nice and cheap in the factory sales they have every few months!

Embers Merino's sale starts today
|

Loving my midlayer I bought before Christmas, but think I could probably have got away with a smaller size. It is just a little too loose, and long in the body.
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
spyderjon, thanks for heads up, midlayer just purchased.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Hells Bells, Glad to hear you liked the top you ordered.
If you (or anyone else) needs anything in future we'd be happy to get the tape measure out and send you specific measurements of any item to help you get the fit just right.
Pedantica, Thanks for the order!
We're working through the weekend's orders, you should receive yours this week.

davkt, Yes you can collect sales items in the shop, no problem.
We also have some sample garments and end of lines which are not featured online. It's worth dropping us a call or email before travel to check we've got what you're after as stuff is selling out fast.
