Jack: I still have the Patagonia Expedition Weight Capilene zip-T top I bought in NWA at the PR with multi-usefulness in mind (an itchy cheap wool option was only available in olive green).
I have s Smartwool merino medium weight jersey knit crew has been my most used piece here in Pittsburgh. It starts the season under a short sleeved jersey or shirt, becomes the base layer under a very vintage North Face VersaTech cycling shell holding off wind, drizzle and cold to the high 20°s alone if all things are right, then in the worst cases I put the Expedition Weight over the merino crew then the jacket. Commuting in the predawn and late night that way with just a few accessory additions here and there to adjust for precipitation, accumulation, wind chill and other nominal potential discomforts. Looking a bit like a time capsule, but heck, the reflector strips still gleam brightly in headlights. If some of this stuff would just wear out I could justify looking around at some of the newer, more wooly things. Good news is that I don't look like some peloton domestique who missed the team bus if I wear any of it off-bike. I've worn both the crew and the shirt in Times Square, Creede, CO and sharing the front bench of a john boat in the Eastern Flyway with my legendary old Chesapeake. Never thought a shirt would outlive him.
