Hunting Clothing

Hey guys, what do you where hunting? I usually wear, during the fall, a tee shirt, long underwear top, flannel shirt, NATO pants, long underwear bottoms, and a Winchester bird hunting vest. If it is a little colder, then i switch over to my wool hunting vest or add on another insulated shirt. When it really gets cold or snows, i switch over to wool. I wear: tee shirt, long underwear top, long underwear bottoms, two pair of wool socks, an insulated shirt, a flannel shirt, a wool hunting vest, a wool coat and some Kamik Pac boots. O yeah, during the fall i wear a regular blaze orange baseball hat and during the winter a wool hat with ear flaps. For fall footwear i usually wear one pair of hybrid wool socks and LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoes.

OO sorry, i forgot that last year i did get rid of the t shirt. Oops. At first I wore it because pollypropalene feels really wierd(sp?).

I don't have the mony to just throw all my wool away and buy that hi-techy fleece stuff.

Besides, I like tradition. Wool clothes for cold, leather for my tack. Don't like all that rubber and nylon you see today.

I wear wool against my skin too.  The way I got it figgered, wearing clothing under wool reduces wool's great attributes.  You'll be warmer without any under lining.  If you sweat, you'll still be comfortable (won't get too cold) with wool.  Wool nutralizes odors too, an underrated benefit for hunting.

If you don't like the feel of wool against you, try merino wool.... it's as comfy as cotton next to your skin.  Filson makes excellent merino wool socks and long johns.  If you've ever worn them when it's cold, you'll never settle for the latest high-tech fad.

So where do ya buy your wool outfits from?
