how much did thwy pay you for this very questionable marketing tactic of posting in this mongolian basketweaving forum instead of something more mainstream? genuinely curious

>>2861823
Not op but they got a sale now. Would never pay 150-250, but 70-90 bucks is tempting for merino so I'm bumping wondering myself if they're good or not

>I am emotionally distressed and susceptible to cheesy marketing, will consuming product fill the hole in my heart?
Have a hug anon. Also no.

>>2861824
>most people

>>2861823
i get your point..but dude just so you know its a sign of schizophrenia to assume that everything you read online is an ad

>>2861850

I suppose I needed that.

>100% Wool (Organic), 100% Linen thread base (to strengthen the fabric)
Huh. That's unusual... and kind of cheapens the fabric weight statement. The linen thread doesn't contribute to warmth, but actively degrades the climatic properties of the wool. Good wool fabric doesn't need linen backing to not tear apart. The only problem with heavier wool weaves in general is that they degrade by abrasion eventually, not that they tear. The wool being organic is also kind of a weird statement - there's no chemicals problem with wool, generally. But it's probably new wool then, so there's that.
The presentation of that company is... yeeaaah. Either really naive or really creepy.
The merino wool hoodie looks better to me, and frankly 70 bucks is a real steal. Might not be too durable however.

no, I wear synthetic fleece because Im not a larper and actually do hard hikes

>>2861871
He asked for bushcraft not hard hiking you absolute muppet. Bushcrafters like to have fires and need clothes that don't start melting at the first ember to fly on them.

>unusual
i asked my mom about it since she sews and knits stuff all the time and she said that is common to use some other fabric as interfacing especially when dealing with a softer material such as wool. i have a camel wool vest that is structured in the same way and it works wonders as well

>>2861871
>actually do hard hikes
well im not in my 20s anymore so just want to go for comfy strolls and not hammer constantly on steep inclines. i have so many aches and pains from years of doing that. maybe take it easy bro before you become a creaky old geezer like me

>>2861824
I get a worse skin reaction (skin condition on my hands) from plastic clothing like acrylic than I do wool. Just wear a base layer if it's too itchy.

>>2861871
My wool jumper is far warmer than my synthetic fleece personally. Both cost me the same. One was made in some Asian shithole from polyester, another was made in Europe using European wool. I know which I prefer.

>>2861813
I have one. Size up if between sizes. I like midlayers to fall back down over my hips when i lower my arms. Since there's no side slits or anything it doesn't slide all the way down. I like my clothes loose though.
The fabric is really interesting. It's like a polartec classic fleece where the fabric sticks out like hairs. Ironically that fleece was made to imitate wool.
I probably wouldn't go for the heavy in your pic since it's a lot more expensive and you don't want a ton of weight unless where you live is frigid.
If I got again id prob get the quarter zip as the neck hole is tighter than I like and I like to vent out the front if possible. I wouldn't trust a full zip though for 2 reasons. 1: I guarantee the zipper is ass and much more likely to break as a full zip than partial. 2: if it shrinks at all the zipper wont shrink making the zipper fold a bunch so when you sit the zipper will pull up like you're sporting a boner.
The guy keeps updating the fabric with the mill and I definitely think he's onto something. Most companies just stick with what they've used forever, what's available, or what's cheapest. It's very warm for its weight.
I mainly still use Stanfields 80/20 heavy wool or great australian bushwear shirts though. for me it's a little too warm without being able to vent. i also hate hoodies though (will prob cut off at some point and cut a line down the front for an opening.). the quarter zip wasn't available when i got mine.

>>2861850
It's a reasonable default assumption in our modern age.

>>2861901
thank you for the advice! the measurements for large were pretty much smack dab on my usual for outerwear so i opted for that hopefully it wont be too snug. im going to ice dye it with a subtle colour swirl

>>2861980
mines a large and i wish i went with xl.40 inch chest. I hate the way hoodies catch on to your stomach though and don't just ride back down.
just be careful washing cause it will shrink.

>>2861901
I usually wear a Large but went for XL in the quarter-zip
However it's fucking huge & I have to wear it as a 3rd/4th layer due to this (I guess it would work over a shirt?)
Even shrinking it with a hot water + hair conditioner soak didn't do much.

That said, I wouldn't give it up for the world!
Might have to buy an L soon.

Interfacing is a layer of fabric sewn in for stability. It's for looks, not function. Functionally, a linen layer will absorb and hold onto moisture, which is not something you want in an outdoor garment. Yes, it strengthens the fabric, but good wool fabric has no need for that.
