Back in the seventies I ordered some wool long-johns from Sears. I wore them under a Woolrich shirt, Woolrich wool hunting pants, and a Woolrich wool jacket. Spent one morning hunting in a steady rain and all that wet wool just about itched me into the nuthouse. They should try that stuff on the folks at Gitmo some day. They will spill the beans in short order!
Merino may not have that issue, but I think I'll always wear polypro or silk next to my baby-soft skin anyway. I never want to go through that again.
