Title: Asbell Wool
Post by: Riverrat43 on December 22, 2014, 08:12:00 PM
Got my Christmas order today. Three hooded zip up jackets, 3 matching vests, ( all evening stand greeen) 3 olive wool scarves and an olive Macinaw. You've got to be kidding right? Do you really hunt in these? They are just beautiful and the work is totally awesome! I suspect they'll get some wear out of the woods as well as in. What great products!

If I wear mine to the store or town, never fails to get compliments and inquiries.

Evening stand green works great.  I shot her at 8 yards.  I also wear it around town!

I have the Silent Stalker pattern in a hooded pullover, size large. I bought it at a yard sale in brand new condition for the hefty sum of........$1.00!

I also just ordered one of their wool hand warmers yesterday.

I've said it all before, you can't go wrong with Teresa's wool. Glad to see that others are using it around town, as well as in the field. Hard to beat for comfort, durability, looks, and price.    :wavey:    :campfire:

Just got my first pullover from the Asbell's. It exceeded all my expectations.  Great quality. I will be breaking it in the woods for the first time tonight! My first of Mrs Teresa's wool but certainly not my last.

Look like great products.  I see a variety of "weights" listed on the website.

Can those who have them comment on what weights they use for what temperatures?

I had a pullover in timber ghost extra heavy weight in XL that I sold due to losing quit a bit of my own weight.  I used it only a handful of times but it really worked well in temperatures from 35 to 50 with just a lite baselayer underneath. I bought a pullover minus the hood in a light to medium weight so I can layer with it when the temperatures really drop below freezing.

Very interested in these products, the hooded pullovers look really useful. I'm kinda at a loss as to the weights, Anyone have any guidance as to choosing a weight? I own a woorich field coat for reference.

With the extra heavy weight I can sit comfortably with just a long sleeve cotton shirt underneath to around 30F. Same setup worn up to 60 degrees (sitting) with little discomfort.

Both of mine are sized large enough for a few layers underneath, and with layering I've used  the extra heavy to -15 (So far).

For sizing, I wear a medium-large, I ordered the zip up pullovers as a large.
