I had great results this year with grey wool pants, and a grey Trecker vest that I bought from Ron LaClair.

Sure - look at Ron LaClair's longhunter shirts and Asbell's wool pullovers.   I have one of each and am very happy with both.

Sportmans guide usually has some great military surplus stuff.  I bought 3 pairs of wool military pants for $9.00 from them.  Some of the best pants I have ever owned and with 3 pair it is pretty much a lifetime investment.  Greyish green with good pockets and suspender buttons sewn in.  I think they are Italian or Cech or something?  They had leather belt and metal buckles at the ankles that I cut off - other than that I think they are great.  Coupled with the 50.00 brown plaid woolrich coat I got off the bargain rack it is the best cold weather investment I have made. The woolrich jacket in the photo was 50 cents at a second hand store I have probably shot 30 deer with this coat on - good Mojo

Johnson Woolen Mills in Vermont.  Been around a loooong time.  Great stuff and less expensive but real quality.  The thing with Filson is that once you have it you won't need to be replacing it....ever!

I like & use wool from Woolrich, CC Filson, & really like the wool pullover Sweatshirt from Theresa Asbell. I really like wool. I use plaids & solid greens & browns.

Ron,

I agree with you. In the mountains of Kentucky I took note that there is basically two colors in the Fall, gray trees and a rust/brown color carpet of leaves. I'll be going gray this coming year for sure! I wish I could find me a pair of those old trebark camo coveralls like they wore in Bowhunting October Whitetails.
