I have read all the topics regarding the wool sweaters and them being bought at yard sales and resale shops.  I have looked around here ever since last hunting season and have yet to turn up one wool sweater.  

Does anyone have any ideas on where to buy one online?

thanks

I bought one at Old Navy for 20 bucks about 5 years ago. Very warm and still going! Army Surplus as Cottonwood mentioned is a sure bet. They have military issue sweaters, OD Green usually.

My wife got me a L.L. Bean 100% wool sweater at garage sale for a $1.00, I have found them at Goodwill also. Sportsmans Guide has Mil. surplus sweaters also, $14-$24 approx. I like the Mil. surplus O.D. green ones.

Yep, I was going to say check the Sportsman's Guide for military surplus sweaters.

I was on a layover a few years ago, rented a car and after I took my wife to the mall  :)  we stopped by a goodwill clothing store.  In there I found a like new wool sweater by Norsewool for $2.  They retail for around $200.  What a score!

I found two nice sweaters at the Goodwill. I recently bought 4 pairs of the East German Wool pants from Sportsmanguide and they are thick! They had a pretty funky smell, but my wife washed them and put them outside to dry and they are great. For $30 for 4 pairs you can't beat that deal if you need to pants.

Doesnt your churches around your area do yard sales? Older people(no offense)love wool and always are sellen it at church sales.Estate sales are good to look in your local papers classifieds.

Some of the auction sites have them.  

Papa, what size are you looking for?  Would you rather have light, medium or heavyweight?

Rick. You sent me a couple of lighter weight wool sweaters about this time last year. I am looking for a heavier sweater to layer with the ones that you sent. I wear a size large. I would be happy to buy one if you have one.

Good Will.  I found 4 last year, merlino wool, each about $4.  Yesterday I found a Pendelton wool shirt in fall color plaid for $5.  And the local army surplus store has real warm sweaters for under $20.
