I've been thinking and looking at those Longhunter shirts for a long time. They look like the perfect trad bowhunting garmet for cold weather. I really need to break down and finally buy one.

Thanks for the undershirt response- will look for those merino.  We struck out on our deer season but the boy's (w/a junior license) got the opportunity to go after one soon w/a rifle. Starting to plan for a little chillier hunt.
Thanks again,
Quinn

Wear a silk or merino wool under shirt. Silk for when the temps are first low enough for you to feel the need for wool to about 35 degrees then merino wool of various weights (they make it light to heavy) at about freezing and below. I personal only like to wear natural fabrics. you could also wear polypro or polyester fleece.

Oh and Ron I'll probably be putting in an order for a hood to go with the shirt I bought last year. I went out on the coldest day of Winter here with my longhunter shirt on over a silk T-shirt wearing wool bibs and was almost too hot. I was post season scouting in February in 5 - 10 degree weather with a drizzly 15 mph wind. I could have used the hood. My toque was just barely good enough.

If looking for washable wool at decent prices, Woolrich shirts can be found on some of the discount mail order sites.  FYI, if you have certain political views, these are made in China.

The Longhunter shirts are cut generous in the chest and shoulders, so you may be able to wear a XXlg, call or email me and we'll decide which is best for you.

I have shirts in stock now in heavy weight gray, and the new striped pattern as well as the lighter weight brown wool.

Another Longhunter fan here.  Like the picture Mr. LaClaire posted of Lance, I have the hood as well, and I have put them to the test hunting in winter.  They are great!

How's the hood do when turning your head?  Looks soft enough that it would probably follow like it should.  I hate stiff hoods because when you turn your head, you end up looking at the inside of the hood...

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Hi Dave,

You are correct; it's a blanket-soft wool that drapes well and moves with the head.

I'd like to have a longhunter shirt but Ron doesn't make them in men's sizes. I end up going to the Bass Pro shops return section and get the plaid wool returns in 4X for $10 each

I would recommend Ron's longhunter shirt. I have the heavy weight one and will be buying the mid weight shirt at some point.
