wool pants: where to buy

I know they aren't cheap but I love the First Lite Kanab merino wool pants. Worked great all season including elk season temps. I layered with merino wool underwear and wore them through whitetail season in Wisconsin

Just ran across this thread and checked out the Spirit Horse site. Looks to me like good stuff. Why are the prices so reasonable? I like a good deal, but am always cautious as to the why. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

No idea why they're so reasonable. I've got 2 pair of their wool pants and can't find a thing wrong. Great deal on some great pants.

Thanks, Selfbow. Sounds like it is worth checking out.

I don't know where they come from but wherever it is, no short people live there.
Inseams start at 35"

Pants with 28-34" inseam are listed separately from pants with 35-40" inseams.

Google Woolrich Malone pants.
I have a pair I started wearing as a teen in the north woods of Wisconsin. I recently picked up a like new pair from a fellow Tradganger. Best all around wool pant IMHO. I like the charcoal grey with pin stripes

Army surplus M1951 wool pants,new, for $19.95: http://www.armysurpluswarehouse.com/featured/m1951-wool-field-pants.html

get the suspenders for the pants, $2.95

The wool is tightly woven and high quality.

I also just bought an Army Korean war wool shirt (80% wool, 20% nylon),new, for $19.95. This shirt is heavy weight and can be washed.

Those military guys must have been short cause Ive never seen a pair of those surplus pants that have a long enough leg. Nice pants, just short in the leg.

hello fellow bowman -- I have wool pants planned for fall 2014 - I have some photo's of the samples -- first, will be a nice olive green to match my jackets - they will have brown cargo pockets - brown knee pads, brown trim over the back pockets -- and a extra thick gusset for the crouch -- ( this is usually where pants wear out -- or get thin) also adjustable waist - for when you grow !!!

)
Lets say you are a 36 inch waist - when buttoned - when you use the other button - it becomes a 38- you always need more room for tucking in hevier clothing -- bigger is alwys better--
Price-- if you want the VERY VERY best --
Guys it all depends on how much wool I purchse - how many I sew - remember these pants have two colors - I like to do something different--
Weight is 20-21 ounce-- but they feel heavier -- I suggest suspenders -- !
I will post soon--

I've been real happy with the Cabela's Wooltimate pants. They're warm, quiet, and have the large cargo pockets. they are a blend of wool and fleece. I also have the jacket and vest. In fact, I'll probably have them on first thing in the morning.

I'd love to see a preview of your wool pants offering Rob!
