I have a Beagle Stalker jacket that was received as a gift. I haven't worn it much, as I find it too warm for still-hunting unless the temperature is down in the teens, and not warm enough for sitting.
I have better luck, temperature control wise, with a fleece layer and a fleece orange-camo vest when stalking and then add another layer of fleece and, if it is wet or windy, a gore-tex layer between the fleece jacket and fleece vest when sitting.

While we are on the subject of wool what does everyone think about Beagle Wear?
Looks nice but pricey to me. http://www.beaglewear.com/Nice looking but no experience with them. They are in the same town in VT as Johnson woolen mills.

I always wanted to hunt whitetail with a old Winchester 1894 with open sights while wearing a red and black plaid. But that is just me

35 years ago, I hunted deer in NH wearing Johnson red/black or green/black wool and carried a Winchester 94 in 25-35, but it had a Lyman receiver sight in lieu of the open rear sight. If I wanted to carry a 30-30, I had to carry a Savage 99, also equiped with a Lyman receiver sight.

just had my old woolrich taylored, lost about 50 pounds since I first bought it and I was swimming in the thing. Had about 8 inches taken out to the back and a few taken out of the arms and it fits just about perfect. It now has a seam down the middle of the back but its a hunting jacket not a sportscoat. Another thing I found is that when I wore it I would go into an allergy fit, had it drycleaned and no change. I gave up and through it into the washer and it seemed to do fine, plus whatever had gotten into the wool over the years was actually washed out and I can wear it again without sneezing and my nose running like a faucet.

Plaid shirts,coats,from Pendleton Woolen Mills and I have just since inherited dad's favorite (with suede elbow patches)wool hunting shirts since his passing last month. Wool makes my brother itch so up to me to carry on the tradition. Too bad.

Both the Winchester 94 in 25-35, SN 15482xx, and the Savage 1899 in 30-30, SN 1137xx, came from Riley's Gun Shop in Hooksett, NH.

I have two hunting coats. Both are blaze wool. The Bemidji Woolen coat is real heavy and great for sitting. colombia wool coat, GM Guide Series Sweater w/ some sort of wind stopper, Kromer blaze hat. It was -13 on this morning. Shot the deer at 10am. It works for warmer weather too. +30*

When I was young , I thought the red and black looked kinda gay , so I fell in love with my green and black wool coat. Being the smallest and youngest I was often sent on the mission of going thru the pine swamps on the way back to camp , a couple hunters on either side and me to try and kick any deer out . Was late afternoon one time and I happened to walk out to my Dad ( funny how he usually knew where I would come out ) Any way , he had been watching me for a while and and he just made the comment that in the low light and shadows crawling thru the thick pines I looked a lot like a black bear wearing that green and black coat. That slowley sunk in . I only wear that green and black coat for around the camp chores now , at least untill the southern zone opens up and the folks that are just looking to blast something have moved on.
