ASBELL WOOL PULLOVERS .Does anyone know if this clothing is still for sale and have you used his product.
there are so many threads on this it's funny - yes and yes - it's good stuff - go to his website and take a look
I was getting ready to order one but noticed they didn't have the pattern I was most interested in with the hood. Looks like an excellent product, and the price new is less than a lot of similar products used.
I just got a Mackinaw last month, it awesome! Your best bet is to call and talk to teresa and find out what patterns are in as they very in weight! My Brown wool Mackinaw was the heaviest weight, love it for rabbit hunting!
I inquired, but haven't heard back yet, whether this is 100% or 80% wool. Anyone know?
I have the hooded vest in the gray timber( lite weight for early fall cool days). Also the green mackinaw(heavier weight for cold days). When its burr burr cold I've been wearing the vest over the mackinaw and I stay toasty warm. Smoke I believe they are 100% wool. I believe the Asbel's are out of town so that could be why you haven't got a response back. Good people, nice product. Be sure to inquire about the different weights in the wool before you order.

I have the pull over no hood and it feels and looks to be 100% wool. I love the stuff.

Their material is either 80 or 85% wool, depending on what pattern and weight you get.

I would like to see it in ASAT.
I own several,great service from them I had to send one back due to it was too big and I had the new one back in less than a week. I will buy more from them in the future. :archer:
Generally how is the sizing? If you wear a large shirt should you get a large pullover if it's intended to go over 3 or 4 layars of clothing or a size bigger?
Theresa & Fred,
How bout Predator Fall Gray to go with the ASAT request from Steve B ??? Please ???

They are 100% wool and the Asbells are out of town. I placed an order and there was a slight mixup in the order. I sent an email and Teresa got back to me very quickly. So I'm guessing regular orders are being handled by their person back in Michigan, but any problem solving is being done by Teresa. Their products seem to be high quality construction and designed to layer.
Yes the Asbell's are in FL for the winter. I ordered a Mackinaw in Timber Ghost gray right after christmas and she said they were getting ready to leave for FL. but orders will be processed as usual. Great product. I wished the gray was a little heavier but will work good.
Make sure you speak with Teresa regarding your proper size...
She made me a perfect fitting quality pullover.

I got a Mackinaw a few weeks ago and I love it, but it was HUGE (seemed about 2XL). I ordered a large and am having it taken in (reduced in size). It is cheaper for me than paying freight there and back again (my mother is doign it for me). I would recommend discussing size in detail before ordering. Once again though - I do love it.
Great looking stuff - will have to try
Great stuff, you will love it.
i really am happy with mine.i order a little big to allow for shrinkage.and layering under .fits good after a couple washings and air dry....chris
I have the same pattern as John3's but Teresa made mine with a over sized hood so I can use it with my Fedora. She also worked with me on the size. I told her I'm usually between a medium and large in most coats, and mine was made accordingly and shipped right away. I had mine within 4 days of calling. Superior service, and quality. I'll be ordering the Mackinaw system soon.
Kind Regards,
Casey

Yeah, Spoke with Teresa for a while today, good people! She sure did have tons of pullovers, vest and mackinws!
I heard Fred is in Florida working on a book and wanted to keep at it while the writing was going well. I bought a hooded shirt Friday and think I will get a vest to layer with it. I have a pullovet that is 3-4 years hold and wear it alot during the season. Lots of options and Theresa will work to get it right for you.
After about an hour of thinking it over and checking there stuff out I ended up finally getting a beautiful red pullover for $38 because it didn't have pockets. Nice heavy wool, red with black accents. My Dad sold woolrich for years in our little shop up North and he helped me pick out the perfect shirt.
Sizing wise, I'm 6'4" and 245. I've always had a hard time with sleeves that weren't long enough. I was happy to find an XL that gave me plenty of room to layer up AND I had overhang in my sleeves.
I love their stuff! I had no idea they were only about 30 minutes away from me.
i also looked at the wool at kzoo and it is really nice and affordable!!! the low prices were really suprising compared to cabelas or somthing similar i encourage anyone to give them a look
I bought mine in person at a show,with lots to choose from the hardest part was picking which one I like best.
My friend Chise bought a vest and a heavy weight parka last year at denton hill. He likes them so much, he's getting more this year. I'll be getting a couple my self.
Picked up a hooded vest at the show, really like it, wore while stump shooting today nice and warm, very nice vest.
