"Shell" I wear one or not?

Patience! They'll arrive -- eventually. Mine finally got to Pennsylvania two days, ago after a very leisurely trip through Europe and various parts of northeastern US. (I'd like to take a trip like that!) I ordered them several weeks ago, the same day Ivar put them up for sale, and he put them into the mail the following day.

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."

Although Covid-19 might slow them down a bit. Worth the wait, though.

Yeah, looks nice on you. I am waiting for a shipment from Ivar, too. I got matching neck warmer as well.

If you're in the US, it takes several weeks. (See my response above). I got a tracking number with the order confirmation so I was able to follow the extremely slow process. The masks are very attractive, light-weight, and breathable, so worth the wait.

I bought 2 face masks from Ivar and live in NC also. Hope they get here soon!!

I too ordered mine and am waiting. I’m from Cleveland, Ohio but am in Phoenix Az visiting grand baby and can’t wait to get home and try on mine.
I’m praying for the day when Spain opens up forAmericans to enter again.
Buen Camino to those of you who are now able to enter and walk again.

 

[ivar]

Thank you all... I have been struggling to get enough of these. Got in a bunch today so a lot of you will get email with tracking number tomorrow morning. Planning to go it at 07.00am tomorrow to get all shipments ready for DHL that comes by at 11.30.

I will also add 3 more designs later tonight to the store.

Not the mask with the multiple colourful shells that Jeff is wearing ....can't see this design on the forum store

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that you were referring to the ones that Ivar is selling. Jeff's looks like he found a mask that was made out of shell design fabric.

 

[Priscilla NC]

I bought 2 face masks from Ivar and live in NC also. Hope they get here soon!!

At some point I should change my name, as I don't live in NC any more. I'm in PA now.

Thanks Bala! Your experience is helpful!

You are lucky then. Ordered mine the same day but they have not reached OZ yet!

You can buy it from this forum

Jeff,
Very handsome mask!
You look good too!
Where did you buy this one from?
I love shells.....have them all over the place

The cloth is called "Light Blue Sea Shell" and I bought it from a store on eBay UK and got 5 masks out of a fat quarter.
The mask is an Olsen pattern - see attachment.
I added an iron on interliner to the back of the shell material to make it denser and there's a replaceable filter layer made from "mioliners" nappy liner (Sainsbury's) tucked into the pocket. The inner face is dense woven cotton cloth. So basically 4 layers and it's still breathable.
I used half of a folded pipe cleaner (you can get long colourful ones from craft shops and Poundland - £1 for a large packet) which sits in a sleeve across the bridge of the nose and can be moulded into shape.
I still get some steaming up of my specs but a folded up tissue hankie (from those handy pocket packs not a "man sized" one) folded into a strip and placed under the top of the mask usually solves that problem.

Sorry if that's all a bit parochial for those outside of the UK.

I got my 2 masks from Ivar 2 days ago (Boston). Psyched!

Thank you for that Jeff...it's a good pattern
The tissue tip we will try as we both wear glasses and the steam does rise after a while

By the time I'm finished the steam is coming out of my ears as well!!!
Really do hate wearing them ...but needs must as they say
Thanks again
Annette

I bought two being advertised now - with stamps (sellos) and they are lovely quality.

I bought three of the masks with the sellos. Two of them will be repackaged and shipped to my friends and fellow pilgrims Susan and Treasa in Wicklow Town, Ireland. We all met on the first day of walking the Camino Frances several years ago and remain in contact, even visiting each others homes and meeting family and friends.

 

[Albertagirl]

I ordered one: dark blue with the yellow arrow, for travel. I currently have a plethora of masks in various patterns and fabrics, but was attracted by the waterproof quality of this fabric. I am hoping that it will arrive by the middle of next month, when I am taking off for a four day walk in the mountains. It can be my all purpose go-to mask, for taking the bus home and any other need which may arise: if the driver won't let me into the taxi back to town without a mask, or if I should happen to camp at the same campsite as other walkers. In this instance, I hope that this will not happen, but I hold to the Scout motto, "Be Prepared." And it is so obviously a camino mask that it may spark a few conversations, if anyone sees it along the trail or in town (Banff).

 

[Loretta Jane]

The first day I wore my camino mask with the arrow, the waitress at the cafe patio in Hamilton Canada said, oh wow, I have done two caminos. Masks and books arrived quickly from the Camino Forum shop in Spain. Stuff here at home takes longer!

I ordered one. Can't wait to get it, but mail to Guatemala is really slow and iffy

It didn't take mine too long to arrive in the US. Can't wait to start wearing them!

Waiting for mine

 

[Keyes]

I bought two and also the new 1:1,250,000 Camino map. All arrived last week. Great masks and map!!!

 

[Harland2019]

I was expecting a long wait for mine to arrive in England but it arrived in 6 days. Looks and fits well despite my "big head"!

Face masks are becoming quite the style accessories in Canada. This morning on CBC, a woman speaking with a reporter said, "I have seven, like underwears." She agreed that she has, "One for each day."

I sew some of my own clothes, and when I do I use the scraps to make matching masks.

 

[Harland2019]

If she was walking the Camino she wouldn't need/carry 7 sets of underwear!

Haircut mask tomorrow,! Photo insists on being upside down...
