I have KOM, grey wof, and some military surplus. I am not impressed by the KOM. I would never spend it on them again. I like the Grey wolf better and believe it is made better. The military surplus is pretty good stuff, especially
the price.

Look into merino wool base layers too.  Ibex is the best that I have found and most is made in the USA too.

First Lite merino in ASAT.

I've got a jacket and pants from Gray Wolf.  Had them about 10 years and they are still in top condition.  Love 'em.  If you're looking for camo wool, consider calling Jeff at Gray Wolf.  Super nice guy to deal with and his stuff is great.

If you want plaid, yeah check the local Goodwill and Salvation Army stores.  However, I have been checking our local stores for months and haven't found squat yet.  Some guys get lucky and do, but I haven't had any luck yet.

I really like my Woolrich wool shirts and anything wool made by Filson is the best of the best.  Keep an eye on the Filson, Woolrich, Pendleton, LL Bean and Orvis websites to see if they have any sales going on.  Sometimes you can get a brand new, nice plaid wool shirt for about $50.  When you consider a GOOD wool shirt will last you a lifetime if taken care of, the price is worth it.

Also, keep your eye on the TradGang classifieds.  If you know what you're looking for, post it in the classifieds to see if anyone has it.  You just never know.

Last but not least, don't be afraid to try some military surplus stuff.

As long as you understand dressing in layers and have a good moisture wicking base layer, I think you'll find wool to be the best material out there for hunting clothes.

Oh, and don't forget a good wool hat.  I love my Stormy Kromer hats.  Don't get the Goretex lined one as it's too warm in my opinion.  Just a standard unlined wool Stormy hat works wonders for keeping you warm.  A lot of heat is lost through your head and keeping it covered makes a big difference.

Check out First Lite. They have a great line of Merino wool. Very comfortable and a pretty wide selection of camo which is hard to find in wool, especially ASAT.

Grey Wolf is engineered for the hunter and is top notch IMHO. I own a ton of wool but when the weather is bad i go right to my Grey Wolf wool because I know that it will perform in the worst conditions.

are there more?? yep...swandri out of new zealand.  check out the bush shirt. expensive stuff, some consider this the best wool in the world. i believe the "swanni" hunting coat offered by screaming eagle back in the early '90's was made by swandri. i like the wool patterns offered by Asbell, have owned 2.

I have some merino (minus33 and icebreaker) base and mid layers, older KOM pants, bowmans jacket and mid-weight shirt and am looking at some more merino outerwear from First Lite.

I also have some sitka 90% outerwear and under armour base layers and don't get much use from these once the weather turns...

The only thing I'm still searching for is a good, light set of rain gear, that will hold up, that doesn't set me back $600.

Check out Two Tracks a sponsor here....  100% natural wool color that make amazing camo patterns and a quality that you will be hard pressed to find anywhere. I like vest for layers and core temp. They allow my arms more freedom. Chuck also makes wool insoles that are the bomb for these old feet  

I think he is having a sale?

Classic Bowman Sporting Woolens, also a sponsor here, has some fantastic looking wool.  They sent me a brochere and I will be ordering soon.  I also like Filson wool products.

Rob's products are definitely top notch and in my opinion are worth the money...you'll never have to buy anything else.  Plus it's made 100% in the U.S.A.

How about this Bud? I also wear Columbia Wool with great success. The Jacket is a Stormy Kromer with a zip in liner

My vote goes to Grey Wolf Woolens. Jeff is great guy and will custom fit your piece to your exact liking.  Two thumbs up!  All others mentioned are excellent as well. Find a brand with a good fit (cut). This is key for drawing a bow, walking without pulling your pants up every 10 steps, overall movement and comfortability, etc.

Most any wool is good wool, quiet, form fitting, durable, organic, life saving warmth characteristics.  Down sides, down walk through burrs with it, can feel heavy at times and the if it's not fine merino wool, it is very uncomfortable next to your skin.   You have to have comfortable base layers, which is not a problem under most circumstances.
