Asbell pullovers

[Doeslayer_67]

Im looking for honest opinions on these jackets. For one, are they itchy? I would appreciate any info and opinions. Victor

They are wool, so if you are prone to itchyness (is that a word?), then probably so. I have two, and I love mine.

My three are pretty soft and good wool, so not bad itchy.  Wool bothers some folks more than others, but these aren't worn against the skin so it really isn't an issue.  My old one is my #1 hunting shirt and I bought another just a bit bigger so I can layer more under it.  I like them.

After getting a pullover last year, I picked up a zippered one this year, absolutely recommend the zipper. The patterns work great in the woods and have deer look through me.

I like mine a lot and I plan on buying a few more.  I don't wear
it next to my skin- I use it as a jacket.  I have an evening stand brown zip up and I have been wearing it every time I've been out- just adjusting base layer for temp differences.  The plaid patterns have been working very, very well and the zipper is
a great feature to help circulate some air when you are warm.
Do a search- there is a lot of people who really like these.

I like mine. Soft wool. I wear it over a t shirt and dont find it itchy.

Long sleeves underneath, T-shirt in warmer weather or fleece or wool under when the temps drop and you're good to go.

Just like said above wear a shirt under it and your set. I just got mine this summer and worn it a few times this season. I love it! I just need to find some wool pants go with it so I can be deadly silent.

You can't beat them for the price.  They are somewhat itchy.  You are not getting a product comparable to $300 wool jacket but you aren't paying $300 either.  Consider them a layer in your system.  Personally, I love mine.


 

That's me on the left.

I worn mine all elk season 21 days and love.  Wool is itchy but you wear these over cotton/what ever clothes so not a problem.  
Well worth the $$$$.

How are they sizing wise? Have been looking at them but would like to be able to use it both early and late season, as an outer layer.  Useually wear a large in sweatshirts and t shirts, and my coats and jackets are larges as well.

I wear about the same as you it sounds like. I have one of the asbell shirts in a MED. It is loose with just a light tight fitting top underneath. A tight top for a bottom layer and a fleece over that all under the asbell shirt is about it for me. I couldn't wear a bulky sweater under it. So I'd say if you want to wear quite a bit under it then I'd get a large. I like mine as a mid layer so the Medium is perfect for me.

Sounds like I'm the same size as you. I got a large and its just a little bigger than I was expecting. But it leaves plenty of room to layer.I have to roll the sleeves back a little,I think the next one I get will be a med. She had measurements on th site too.

The wool over a t-shirt on some of the cold mornings sure made last week hunting more enjoyable. I found a minor itch far less a problem than the warmth! Well worth the money! Maxx.

This is my fifth season wearing them. Wear long sleeves underneath and your good to go. I love mine.

I'd say they run about one size up since they're meant to layer. I generally wear an XL in everything. I did some research and went ahead and ordered an XL pullover.  I can layer under it nicely.

If you order one and it is a tad too big, put it in the dryer on medium heat for about 10 minutes. It will shrink it a little...gota be real careful, though.

I like the evening stand greeen. It is itchy to me. I wear something underneath that keeps it off my neck and arms. Overall, an excellent buy in my opinion.

[Keefer]

If you wear them bare naked you will itch like a wild pack of hound doggies with a bus load of fleas...You need to wear something between your naked skin and the wool or else..In other words you need a "Barrier between your Derrier"   :eek:

Thanks y'all, I ordered one today.
