Wool clothing

[Big Bad]

Eaton's catalogue. Stanfields pure wool underwear, plus other good brands of wool pants, wool jackets and coats of various types, wool socks, you name it and they had it with free delivery. And the quality was always exactly as described.
Oops, maybe the T. Eaton Co. with their twice annual catalogues are not in business anymore!

Now you mention it, Stanfields once told me that anything seen on their website can be ordered from them by phone. When I need more of their wool stuff, that's how I'll do it. http://www.stanfields.com/


OP, there's been a lot of talk about woolen stuff on both the Gear and Wilderness Survival forums as well, you might want to check them out, going back a ways.

I still have several sets of two piece sets and one piece wool underwear from stanfields from the 80's to mid 90's. Stuff is tough!

I go to Eglis about once a year, usually on one of the bike rides. Sold the bikes but still go by there once in a while, they have some fantastic stuff, along with lots of made in China stuff now as well.

Cannot honestly say I have ever seen any. I thought I was a big boy and wear 4X on top but 2x or XL on the bottom which I have found
That being said most of my wool gear I bought in like the late 70's and early 80's and still works just fine
Cheers

ALSO have a look a Worsterlon shirts that Cabela occasionally sells .. the heavy weight versions are excellent; warm (also when wet) no itch, wash and dry (dry VERY quickly!) tough as iron. The only drawback compared to wool is that - because they are a synthetic material - probably not ideal if you are a fire fighter - not that I have ever experienced any issue ...

Their fast drying quality is a huge advantage over wool if you are likely to find yourself in wet weather.

Agree, I have a batch of the Worsterlon from Cabelas and they are great
Cheers
