Wool clothing

[Trad-Man]

It has to fit YOU..if it dosen't fit your frame it dosen't matter whose name is on it.  Go to shows and try it all on.

You also have to decide on what kind of wool..it isn't all the same, pro's and cons to every style.  I sweat easily..I prefer a looser weave to let moisture escape.  Some prefer crushed wool or just a tighter weave.  There is enough to choose from that you can find what you want.

Do not eschew older military wool.  I have a Royal Marine cammo smock-down to my thighs.  I have an old army dress wool pants. Lighter weight but very warm with the right long johns.  Inexpensive but effective.

the best wool pants I have ever seen are from Sweden, they are more wind proof than anything I have found. I paid $10 for two new pair. when we are on Canadian wilderness canoe trips, I start out the day with white wool longjohns under a Filsen wool shirt, I am more comfortable in hot sunlight than those that strip down when the temps go up. If I wear the blue poly types I get hot when the sun comes out. It is important for me that the wool is pure merino wool, no blend, the looser weave Pendleton shirts are really comfortable in warmer conditions with a light merino wool Tshirt.

By the time it was over my wools were just plain stinking.
 
I'm surprised that your opening arguement had to do with odor. In my experience there is nothing smellier than synthetics. I have worn wool pants for years without washing. I wear my wool t-shirt all day everyday on 3 day backpacking trips and don't have issues with odor. (I tend to sweat alot especially while backpacking.) I can wear synthetic for a half day and can hardly stand the smell! I have been wearing synthetic but am switching to wool mostly because of the odor thing. On longer hunts I'll be able to spend the time hunting instead of doing laundry.

The vests at Two Tracks that Chris make are awesome. It's wool felt and will last a lifetime! Two Tracks, a sponsor, are great people to work with. Peace!

I have found that Sierra Trading Post which has a website sells randomly wool clothing for hunting. Also you can check some of the mountaineering supply places for woo long underwear at least. I find having the wool underwear keeps me the most comfortable when used.
