I am back from Italy. I locked down some great new factories. I also hammered the production kinks out of the old ones. Everything is good! What better way to say "welcome back", than with a contest!

The yarn is extra long, extra fine, merino wool. In terms of Merino wool, it really doesn't get better. The shirt was made in Ohio. I still have plenty of the "funfetti" fabric left.
