Cool Link! There's even a Hudson Bay wool blanket coat (capote) in there!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that's classic. I too love wool and own a Red/Black Filson Double Mac, but it's way to warm for hunting here in New England....especially the past few years. I prefer wool and I want to substitute my Blaze fleece with Blaze wool from Vermont Woolens or Bemidji

Kinda off topic....I been wanting a wool coat for fall. I really like this Woolrich coat ... Woolrich Men's Tailgating Jacket ...but cant find it in a Large. If anyone runs across one, let me know please! Thank you. Can't imagine saddling a wool coat with a cotton liner. YMMV I never had a wool coat so I wouldnt know the difference with or without a liner. Do you know of another wool coat of similar style I should look at? Not actually gonna use it for huntin, just casual wear I guess. Thanks PS oh, wanna add I really like the green plaid colors if possible. Thanks

Johnson woolen mill, and Beaglewear both in Vermont make good stuff. Sadly Woolrich is now made in china.

Thought of buying a red and black back in the day but watched my uncles take out a table chair after sitting in an unseasonable rain storm in November. They stay warm wet but they take on a little weight. I have a Cabela's washable wool camo pattern parka that doesn't take on water like the Woolrich coats and is super warm. But I still wear Woolrich bibs.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

Check out the Beaglewear. It's pricey, but is waterproof. I wear a Beagle half vest over a johnson wool jacket. The vest sheds alot of wet snow and rain.

Anyone know if Vermont Woolen Mill's wool is as good as Bemidji wool? I want to get an all blaze orange one. I know they aren't quite as good as Filson, as filson actually felts the wool and shrinks it by about 25%, leaving a tighter, more durable weave.

Don't know about Vermont Wool, but Bemidji Wool is good stuff. Good tight knit. The insulated it real heavy duty.

What pants did you order? I bought my coat and bibs at a ma and pop store in central WI. They may have what you're looking for.

This was Dad's wool coat that he bought in 1952. He always had it professionally cleaned each year after close of hunting season. I've hunted with this jacket since Dad died and its still warm and serviceable.
Dad told me that the black and red plaid is best camo for the forests and foothills.

This made me think of it.. haven't had it out of the closet in years... I have a jacket a friends mom gave me in high school in the late 60s.. her dad wore it to hunt on the UP of Michigan back in the 1920s... Red Wool Plaid jacket, with a big sown in pouch in the back for game..
I am going to drag that jacket out.. think is 90 years old now..
