Hadn't seen AllSaints before, and I liked what I saw (although nothing *quite* fit the bill for my immediate need).</p> <p>Sveta: I don't have a Costco in my area. Phooey.</p> <p>But thank you all, and I hope there are more suggestions coming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-basic-layering-knit-tops#post-192178 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:42:32 +0000 Sveta 192178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw great quality merino wool very fine long sleeve tops (looks like tee, not a sweater) in both crew and V necks in Costco last weeked. Price was $15 and I own two of them already - they are very lightweight and good quality.<br /> I live in Canada so I do not know if they have them in US Costco but it maybe worth a check... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-basic-layering-knit-tops#post-192142 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:08:47 +0000 chewyspaghetti 192142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm waiting for Uniqlo to come out with their Heat Tech line to get layering pieces. They are really lightweight, but keep you warm like a natural fiber would. I bought a couple of things last year and was very pleased with them. I think the line usually comes out in October. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-basic-layering-knit-tops#post-192134 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:59:46 +0000 bj1111 192134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>allsaints is having a sale (check out their not-so-basic basics and the knitwear). free shipping in the us.</p> <p><a href="http://www.allsaints.com/womens/luxury_basics?all=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.allsaints.com/women.....sics?all=1</a></p> <p>i've had good luck with jcrew (check out sale knits)</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2bpqttg" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2bpqttg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-basic-layering-knit-tops#post-192128 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:49:17 +0000 Tracy 192128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, it sounds boring. But it's me. I need to retire some but I don't have replacements yet.</p> <p>I'm trying to find silk, silk blend, modal, tissue-weight merino (okay, basically anything NOT cotton or polyester) Ts or superlightweight sweaters with elbow or 3/4-length sleeves. V-neck, scoopneck, bateau, anything but crewneck. Price really isn't an issue although I'd prefer something under $50.</p> <p>All the basic shapes I've found so far are either:</p> <p>- wrong fabric<br /> - crewneck<br /> - short sleeve<br /> - too short (has to be at least 23.5" for me)</p> <p>Can anyone help? </p>
