If you're cheap like me check out The Sportsman's Guide.  Military surplus wool pants.  I have several pairs - though I prefer bib overalls in heavier wool (especially if I try to use the cargo pockets for cargo) so they don't wind up around my knees from the material weight and gravity.

Swedish wool pants.

How about some Labonville traditional wool pants Made in the USA. Green and traditional and will last a long time.

Bemidji makes some fine wool products at a decent price.

Did a search but didn't turn up much. Any suggestions for camo wool cargo pants?
I use Columbia Wool Cargo Pants, OD with black tiger stripes. Man do these blend in.

I have wool pants in ASAT from Day One...extremely happy with them. Like any good product not cheap but you will get years of good use from them. Any of the above quality wool pants will give you years of hard wear. Depends on your budget....also Day One is made in the USA.

Thanks gents for all the suggestions I'm really considering the Day One ASAT, a fellow tradganger has a pair in the classified my exact size.

Thanks

I've got the Cabela's Wooltimate pants and just bought some of their Cabela's Outfitter Berber Fleece Series WindShear Pants and like the fleece best. They aren't as heavy..to wear and have zippered lower legs, zipper cargo pockets and zipper right back pocket.

And me...

I found some heavy green wool military pants at a flea market. Tightly woven wool. Just gotta wait for below freezing weather to use them. They are thick!! Only a couple of moth holes...   :rolleyes:

Charlie ( Stumpkiller ) It's funny how geniuses think alike, I have one pair of wool surplus military wool pants from the Guide also, and they are great, and so was the price.

I bought several pair a few years ago when they had them.  Haven't seen the Swedish wool pants lately.  Bought some Romanian, or near there, surplus pants.  Sizing was way off, had to return them.

x2 on the old/new stock foreign military wool.  I picked up 3 pair for $9.00 from sportsmans guide or some such site years ago and they are great.  Heavy weigh, quality made and have big cargo pockets but NO rear pockets.  I prefer this for long sits with no butt bulk.  They have sewn in metal suspender buttons too.  Only came in grey instead of some new fangled camo pattern but the deer never complain.

I really like the wooltimate , they laugh at the wind   :biglaugh:

I have the fleece with windshear. They are light weight and quiet. I have been in some cold windy weather and stayed toasty warm with expedition weight thermals and the fleece.

This talk got me the itch to buy one more pair.

Will post up a pic when they arrive.

Less than $20 shipped...can't beat that, but, like mnetioned, hope the sizing is good....Eurpopeans are on average a bit thinner than us Americans  :(

Do you guys ever have a problem with the wind shear being noisy?

I won't buy anything with wind shear after my experience with Cabelas fleece bibs with wind shear . If you moved on a cold morning you crackled . Is that a word   :)

I picked up some wooltimate pants with windblocker from cabelas recently, nice product but they are covered in burrs and seeds of every sort. Stayed warm even when wet though. Seems like there should be something better that won't act like a seed collection garment, guess it's just extra camo LOL.
X2 on everything SportHunter said, including the burrs. Oh, well, it gives me something to do while waiting for the deer to show up. Lately, I've done more burr picking than I'd like...dang deer!   :banghead:

Sporthunter- is the windshear lining noisy? [/b]
I don't notice much noise with these pants. I have a berber windshear pull over that is LOUD also from cabelas, no clue why there was such a difference. I wouldnt buy the pants again due to the burr collection problem, it is a pain to deal with. The outfitter pattern works well though, the berber doesnt collect that many burrs where as the wooltimate is like a burr magnet.
