I tried one this past week end. I liked it a lot.

I may be "itch immune", because wool doesn't bother me at all. Any wool.

I am not sure how long Teresa has been making her pullovers, but I have been wearing them for what must be 10 years. In the course of that time I have become friends with the Asbells, and recently began selling thier garments on my website....but I am saying this completely without bias (I own lots of other wool)...Teresa's products are designed around the traditional bowhunter. Fred and others try out every tweak in her design before it is sold. But more important, she designs and produces her products herself, and likes to think of it as "working mans wool". She keeps it affordable, without sacrificing quality.

Teresa has all of the ability, and all of the equipment to sew more complicated, more expensive garments. But she won't do it. She truly enjoys putting out a quality hunting garment that literally any of us can afford. I'm not trying to sell you a thing. The selection on my site is limited on purpose. But DO support Asbell Wool. The Asbells are a great sponsor of the Tradgang, but more than that, they are a GREAT sponsor to traditional archery as a whole.

X2 on what Roger said!  I just received my first vest and will definitely be ordering another.  The next one will be the zippered jacket.

I have two and I love mine. Evening stand brown is the best camo...perfect for OCT and Early NOV. Once temps get below freezing you can add the wind barrier. When in the 20s on stand I go with lined grey wolf woolens.

I use a short sleave Tshirt under and no itch at all! Love mines.

I got one this summer and really like it.  And I'm glad I got one with a zipper.

I have Evening Stand Brown pullover and love it!

Roger,

Any update on those new patterns Teresa was coming out with that you showed us back in early August?  I sent her an email asking the same but didn't get a response yet.  Waiting to order a zippered jacket in the first pattern you showed hanging in the tree.

Any info if available greatly appreciated.

I have two of them. One with a hood and one without. I like both of them very much and highly recommend them. Since they are wool, you will need something next to your skin if you have a sensitivity to it. I have found them roomy eonugh to layer underneath without restricition of movement.In addition, you will find Theresa Asbell very pleasant and accomodating to deal with. Fred ain't bad, either, but Theresa is the "wool garment mama". Her prices are reasonable and her workmanship is outstanding. You may also want to consider a wool haversack as a very handy addition to your gear.

Wore mine last weekend, it was 1C, so I put a light fleece with Gore wind stop under it, walked about a 100 yards into the bush, and had to ditch the fleece! Too warm! Went with a tshirt under it, and found it a bit itchy, but not unbearable!
