I also love wool. Here's a list of places to find quality affordable Wool gear. Big Bill's obviously for Pants I prefer the Woodsman Bibs myself same fabric as your 210 pants. Fred Asbell for wool jackets/pullovers, Vests etc, Swanndri shirt jac, Aran or LL bean for wool sweaters and pants socks, Lobben Boots or Valenki boots both are Wool

I have a pair of these and it's all I wear winter camping up in Canada. They are great.

How do you keep them clean?

[@mikemorton0]

@@75egcg hang them up in the garage to air out. Otherwise in a tub with some wool specific soap and then air dry.

[@75egcg]

@@mikemorton0 skip the dry cleaners? I was hesitant to buy anything wool bc of the dry cleaners

[@mikemorton0]

@@75egcg what are you using then for ? I use them for camping and xc skiing and outdoors stuff. So I basically just hang them in the garage to air out. Wool is naturally anti microbial and you will be wearing a basesyer underneath. I have never dry cleaned mine and don't see why I would.

[@75egcg]

@@mikemorton0 basically just work. When winter hits I’ll be outside. Not really trusting through snow or doing real hard labor. It’ll be my first pair of wool trousers so I wanted to treat them right

Do you recommend Lanolizing your garments from time to time?

[@cocacolabob]

That’s a really nice jacket man, where could I get one like that?

[@wildforwool3821]

It’s a Bod and Christensen sheepskin. I’ve had it for quite a few years now. I actually got this one second hand for a killer deal. I’m not exactly sure what stores carry this brand, there is quite a few of them for sale on eBay though and lots of other brands as well. I highly recommend a sheepskin if you live in a colder climate, I absolutely love mine for the winter months.

[@jessevollick14]

should I order true to size or order a size up?

[@wildforwool3821]

I would definitely size up

[@joaonuno6936]

what jacket are you wearing?

[@wildforwool3821]

It is a Bod & Christiansen sheepskin coat, for the most part any good quality shearling coat is very warm and useful.

[@bencoombes2711]

Have you tired the ww2 wool trousers/pants ?

[@wildforwool3821]

I believe I have a pair actually. Maybe I’ll show them on a video. They do have some synthetic barrier in a few parts of them that have a use but I don’t like synthetics personally

[@bencoombes2711]

@@wildforwool3821 That's cool I was thinking god buying sum but if they have poly in maybe not need to do sum more research would love you to test and report on what temp they work in and then don't ?

[@wildforwool3821]

Sounds good next really cold snap I’ll bring them out for a test and make a video about the results the fit and a few specs

[@amusingbear8762]

What boots are you wearing?

[@wildforwool3821]

Those are a sheepskin boot. I will do a video on them soon. They are very comfortable as well as warm. There also light weight compared to most boots
