[QUOTE="lonegunman762x51, post: 1354644, member: 44486"] I got the bug and bought some nice wool a couple of years ago. It was a solid choice and since I work 18 miles from Canada in the mountains, warm clothes are handy 8 months a year. I also bought a nice pair of White's Boots, handmade in Spokane, WA. The boots are a tad heavy and not my favorite for muddy hillsides, but they are very comfortable with a thick pair of wool socks. Filson makes a nice pair of wool pants, I found my size on a close-out table, $240 pants for $48 dollars, my wife hemmed them for me. Filson is strictly buyer beware, their no hassle guarantee is all but worthless, but their quality is decent. Johnson Woolen Mills has top of the line made in America stuff. I got a few shirts and a flannel lined, green wool shirt jacket that is awesome but makes you look like you fell off "The Red Green show". I have a pair of Woolrich wool pants as well, they were stiff and took some breaking in, I wore them for three days last week, we had snow, sleet and rain for deer hunting, they are warm and toasty even when damp. I went back to wool and am happy with the choice. With pants I wear the thinnest long underwear possible just to cut down on the itch factor, even in 10-15 degree weather I'm comfortable. I decided to spend more and buy American. Check out Pendelton, Johnson, Filson or Woolrich. Woolrich is more of a name only company but they do try. [/QUOTE]
