Yes, Campmor is reliable. As is Sierra Trading Post. I've made quite a few orders from each, and returned quite a few items to each. No problems, no hassles, prompt shipping of orders and crediting of returns. Also, in the US, two good, inexpensive sources of cotton blend and synthetic clothes that are good travel wear are Kohls and Target. No, the stuff doesn't look like safari gear.

When I've traveled, I usually take a combination of whatever I know works, not just specifically "travel clothes". The one item I really liked from Travelsmith was a long "walking skirt" out of twill. It has held up very well & looked great. Didn't really wrinkle either. Best feature is a hidden "security pocket" with a zipper for money & credit cards. Unpickable.

My husband just picked up two pair of microfiber slacks at Wal-Mart. They are anti-wrinkle and very lightweight. I just purchased a black dress from Travelsmith that came shipped in an envelope and when I removed it it was hardly wrinkled. I tried it on and it was a perfect fit and it only took a couple of days for me to get it. But I agree with a previous post - all of the other items we had selected were all back ordered, which is why we hit some of the local department stores. You can find stuff out there if you look. I noticed that a lot of the fiber contents in Travelsmith were this microfiber.

The George line of women's clothes carried in the US at Wal-mart (originally from Asda(?) supermarkets in the UK )looks just like some of the stuff I've seen at Travelsmith--stretchy rayon/poly/lycra blend pants, skirts, jackets, tops, in solid black and a black/beige print. Best of all--prices about $15-$25 a piece!

I just received a catalog from Winter Silks and am thinking of ordering their silk cotton travel jacket (the one with 7 pockets). It looks remarkably like the travel blazer that Travelsmith offers, but at half the price. Has anyone purchased this particular item from Winter Silks? I'm curious as to its quality, does it wear well, etc. Would like to hear any comments on this item.

This thread prompted me to run to Chicos yesterday for some additional travel clothes that I thought I could do without. They sure have great stuff!

What did you buy, Susan? There's a Chicos a distance from me so I am trying to figure out if it is worth taking the time to go. Thanks.

Ashley: I got a long, slim black skirt from their Travelers Collection and a sleeveless black top. You can roll it up in a corner of the suitcase and it looks great (no wrinkles). I'm planning on mixing it with different silk sweaters for dinner. It's also very comfortable. You can see it at their website. http://www.chicos.com/frames/product...ID=31&CollID=1

Does anyone know of European web sites for shopping on line? --for those of use who won't be traveling this year and would like to pretend by shopping via the net?

We are going to France and Spain.<BR>How do chicos clothes hold up in the summer, temperature wise? How much do they hold in the heat, compared to say, cotton tee shirts and chinos?

I just ordered some great travel pants and sleeveless travel tank from Boston Proper. The material is great and the fit is excellent. They aren't baggy so will look nice for dining out as well as touring. Can be hand washed and hung dry and take up hardly any packing space.
