It's the stink that keeps the moths out. I find the aroma of cedar very pleasant though. Much more preferable than the smell of naptha in mothballs anyway.

For utterly safe storage of wool, cashmere and the like - put it in the freezer.

Just be sure to wrap it well and label it clearly - and tell other family members why it is there, so they don't start to watch you closely to see what other strange things you are going to do.

The X Marks products have their own forum.

oops! I probably shoulda started this thread in there.

Maybe a mod should move it?

Panache....you're liking the look of the yellow too eh? Great minds think alike...or something like that anyway *rolls eyes*
I was just thinking that pleated to the white stripe might just be tooo much white, but I'm hoping that at least the yellow is enough of a vertical element to avoid what Rocky refers to as "lawnchair butt."

cloves,

I think the wide white stripe would look very nice with a regular knife pleat, it would be very striking. I just think that the wide white stripe wouldn't quite work as well with the military box pleat, in that you wouldn't appreciate the pleating style. In my opinion anyway.

Cheers

Correction, X Marks products have their own announcements. There is no Forum available for discussion of such products, just updates about Xmarks branded stuff.

Jonesing for a Xmarks shirt like the one pictured HERE.
Just haven't heard anything since it's initial posting on 5/31.

I'll post on the suggestions board about making an Xmarks Tartan discussion area under DIY
