What to do with damaged Icebreaker shirt?

I would go for some type of head piece like a balaclava.

Hi,

Try a hood and then sew it on another wool shirt like this:

Make your Own Hoody

i know this isn't exactly the kind of answer you're looking for, but why not contact icebreaker and see if they will fix it? my impression of them is that they are a reputable company, and even if they don't have an explicit warranty policy about that kind of thing, they might offer to take care of it if you contact them about it. i've had that happen to a surprising extent with lots of outdoor gear over the years: the good companies will really take care of their customers.

I just checked and it is out of warranty so I think its going to become a balaclava/hood. I like the looks of the pattern in Bill's link, I've got quite a bit of left over insulation from other projects and have been thinking about making a vest anyway. If I can find that pattern I can kill two birds with one stone. Thanks for the suggestions!
