Be the first to pre-order the Pamela Bamboo Hoodie. As a Keeping Abreast subscriber, you get VIP front of the line status. You have 3 days advance notice before it goes out to the general public on September 1st.
Why be front of the line?
Why is this important? Because this is my final limited edition collection of the Pamela. I will only have 2 of each size in the new forest teal chosen by you.

Forest Teal Micro Stripe
Plus, 2 of each size in the light charcoal micro stripe. And finally, the dark charcoal will come in 4 of each size because dark neutral colours always sell out first.
Btw, the sizes run from Size 1(S) to 4(XL). Here’s the size chart for easy reference:
Grown-up hoodie
This is a hoodie for grown-up women. It’s not your big baggy zip-up hoodie nor the tiny cropped hoodie your teenagers like to wear.
Yes, it has a hood but there’s no zipper or drawstring that comes out in the wash. It has a grown-up looking shawl collar that wraps around into a hood. And, it has a roomy kangaroo pocket.
The full length sleeves are a touch longer if you have long arms. Or, you can roll them up like I like to do. But, on chilly early morning walks, I keep them down to warm my hands.
Capsule wardrobe piece
The Pamela is a great Fall capsule wardrobe addition. You can wear it to work over a pencil skirt or dress pants. Psst, the pre-order for the Joan bamboo trousers is coming soon.
Or, you can wear it as a casual piece over leggings, lounge pants, or jeans. It coordinates well with my dark charcoal bamboo leggings.

And, you can create the perfect lounge-in-style outfit with the matching bamboo lounge pants.

Not only will it take you right through your day, but also right through the year. The bamboo jersey is soft, breathable, and thermal regulating. It will keep you warm in the cool weather, and cool in the warm weather. Did I mention it works well for travel?
The price is right
The price is $119 + tax for a Canadian-made product, ethically and locally produced at The Bobbins Production Studio in Ottawa, Ontario. The quality is exceptional and the design is clean simple lines that will keep you looking stylish and feeling comfortable for years to come.
Grab your Pamela bamboo hoodie in the size and colour of your choice before they’re gone. Delivery will be in October.
Happy shopping and see you next week!
