[Steve Kendrot]

I have a set of ASAT wool camo from Day One  http://ns1.bowsite.org/dayone/  that is new this year. I really like it. Well made and look like they'll hold up.

I agree. And that "last a lifetime" is no exaggeration. My cousin still has and uses a Filson Mackinaw Cruiser that he inherited from my uncle when he died back in the 70's.

Use filson(25oz timber jacket)and vest, sleeping indian(pants), cabelas windshear pullover. My filson coat does not stop the wind: last sat. hunted in the a.m in wind and froze, went in p.m,(wind) wore cabelas windshear (yes little noisy but in wind, doesn't matter) with filson vest and was supper warm. GANGERS BEWARE SLEEPING INDIAN CUSTOMER SERVICE: have pants love'em 3yrs.old, orderd shirt(recent)had pockets added(no size alteration) and recieved and sent back, thought wool was not same as pants(not as hairy) asked for refund he said NO-WAY(pockets added), I said "you can resale in a heartbeat"! he said "to bad". Stuck 355.00. First in line to take my money but last in line to give it back.

**** !!!  I just bought a used woolrich 85/15 wool / nylon shirt for $ 18.   The shirt is in great condition and so is my wallet.  Now woodchucker, goodwill is a great brand also.  Thanks for the idea.  Good luck  Bhill

Is firstlite underwear or are those outer garments?

Many thrift stores, Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc, will have some great wool at great prices.  Wool shirts and dress pants are great in the early season and I've picked up heavy Filson, Woolrich, Beans and Pendleton items many times.  there will be sweaters and vests galore and grab a couple of the Italian lightweight merino wool sweaters that are always there; they are great layered.  Mil surplus pants are very good too.

Man oh Man...you guys make me so jealous....I'm allergic to wool!!! Bummer!!!

[Taiga Recurve]

I too have been trying to build my wool clothing supply with out taking out a loan. I have picked up one of Ron's Long Hunter Shirts and it is very worm and well made. I have also bought a 20oz wool shirt from cabelas that has proven it's self a good buy.

Just sat out all day in the wind, rain and 35 degree's in my Grey Wolf, got wet but didn't get cold....bought most used off this site.

I owned KOM and it was of good quality. I now own Gray Wolf Woolens. The Gray Wolf stuff is top shelf and the customer service is second to none. Not putting down the KOM in any way, I just prefer Gray Wolf. I think that both KOM and Gray Wolf attend the Expo in Kalamazoo...might try to make it there and check them out first hand. Mike

I will have a booth at Kalamazoo with Gray Wolf products.  We will try to have examples of the different garments both in wool and Wolfskin, and will also have some items for sale.  Right now we're thinking along the lines of vests and things that are more generic in size.
