Let’s be honest: wool can be scratchy, itchy, and just all around uncomfortable. It can be avoidable if you live in a warmer climate, but those of us who live in places where it actually snows miss out on the warmth that wool can offer if we choose to skip the itchiness. But now wool doesn’t have to be hot, heavy, itchy, or uncomfortable. A company called Ramblers Way is using technology to get rid of all the undesirable wool attributes while keeping all the great ones.
The “WINDspun” technology that Ramblers Way garments undergo offers the smoothest, most luxurious wool yarn in the marketplace. The result is an ultra-light line of worsted wool garments warm that both keep you warm but which also breathe naturally, meaning you can actually wear it all year round!
Because Ramblers Way is focused on an all-natural way of doing things, they use only sheep that roam across the United States, and are NOT pre-washed with chlorine in the typical “super-wash” procedure that most companies use, but instead a patented enzyme treatment is used in order to prevent shrinkage and keep the garments fully washable. In addition to being entirely American-made, Ramblers Way garments are all natural and chemical-free.
Soft, breathable wool that can be worn all year round? Yes, please. Just another reason why technology has a firm place in fashion.

It’s more than just a status symbol: a beautifully designed watch can add a great deal to a man’s outfit, especially since men don’t accessorize the way women do.
My husband has always worn a watch, for various different reasons. Mostly he got into the habit when he was flying for the Navy, and I can’t think of a time that he doesn’t have one on, unless he’s out racing his motocross bike on the weekends. He has a variety of them, and considers them as important to his outfit as I consider the right pair of shoes.
I found this gorgeous Victorinox Swiss Army Airboss Mach 3 Chrono that I would love to give him as a gift. Not only does it reference his aviation days with it’s retro ’40s leather strap (think old school bomber jackets), but the large numbers on the face would be welcome by any pilot. The sapphire crystal is treated with a special anti-reflective formula, and the face is encased in stainless steel. Features luminous hands, numerals, and hour markers as well as a bi-directional rotating inner bezel with a countdown scale. It is, of course, handmade in Switzerland with Swiss analog quartz movement.
There are so many more other watches – visit Victorinox Swiss Army to see them all – that I could choose, but this one is definitely my favorite.
Be sure to visit the Victorinox Swiss Army Facebook page and participate in the I Wear a Watch Sweepstakes for your chance to win one of these gorgeous watches for yourself. They are giving away 30 watches in 30 days, and you can find out more at the Facebook IWAW sweepstakes page. Good luck!
