I'm also a fan of anything Filson , socks , gloves , vest , pants , and a double Mackinaw coat , tin cloth is also darn tough to beat as shelter cloth coats and that .
Yes it's expensive but worth every penny !

still wear it, skin through outer layer. where are you finding wool these days? I like my wool but have a hard time finding much I wear socks , hat and gloves , sometimes a sweater as a mid layer I found some merino wool base layer but haven't gotten it yet Duckworth out of Montana. They put it on sale fairly.often. Haven't tried their jackets but really like the tees and socks

The Montana Woolen Shop in Bozeman Mt has closed. I think they were open for about 50 years i have sweaters that I have bought from them and use all fall winter and early spring. I use them as an outer shell and are great for any outdoor thing you do.

The Filson coat I talked about above, is built in the same style as the old Woolrich hunting coats but it’s solid green and has a waterproof liner.
It’s got all the zippered pockets, hand warmer pockets, inside security pockets, and even the game bag type pocket accessible from either side in the back, just like the old Woolrich had.
Eh...wot?

Pendleton still makes fantastic wool shirts,coats,and flannel style jackets. While pricey they're top notch

I used to, but the new synthetics are so much better for my application; cold and wet. If wool gets wet on an extended outing, it stays wet the entire trip; that really sucks. Synthetics I can dry easily.

Synthetics I can dry easily. Interesting!!! I never have known mine to get wet. That is one of the things I love about wool outer protection. I love the quietness over any synthetics material. I really dislike a coat that makes noise every time I move an inch. But this is just me and my view of the products.

Snowy. Me too. I love how quiet my wool bibs are when going through the woods.
Waggler, If worn in the rain. They dry fast by the wood stove or in front of a fan.

Synthetics I can dry easily. Agreed^^^^^I have a few Filson products and I love the nastalgia of it, but quite frankly, it doesnt keep me near as warm or dry as newer high quality gear. Now, if theyd make the newer high quality gear in red and black plaid, that would be best of both worlds

I mean really wet, like wind driven rain for a week or more straight.
