    Default Is Ibex outdoor clothing out of business?

    The title contains the question. I need to rep[lace some of my Ibex clothing and the web site says "Be in contact with you soon" and wants name and email.

    Seems like they closed down last year. Saw another article where the investment group that bought them, Flour Fund, intended to revive the brand, but doesn't look like it's happened.

    I had picked up an Ibex item a year ago and was really happy with it. Went to their website to buy more and they were having a Going Out of Business clearance sale. Got a couple of items but it was getting slim pickings and there was a warning of no returns/refunds/etc.

    That's too bad. I got a bunch of their stuff years ago through a deal they gave ATC employees and volunteers. Their Merino Wool clothing was always very high priced, but so was their quality.

    Yup, closed. Check out minus33. I haven't tried their stuff yet but will as soon as my Ibex stuff wears out.

    Minus 33 is based out of Ashland NH but I believe their products as well as the majority of Merino wool products are made in China.
