Wool hunting shirts?
« on: February 29, 2020, 11:56:11 am »
Happy Saturday, everybody.  Does anyone know where I can buy a wool, camouflage, button-up style shirt?  Similar to a Pendleton board shirt, but in camo?  Money can't buy happiness, but if it could buy a shirt like that it would be a definite step in the right direction.

Ben, there are some shirts that come up in a search, but most of them aren't merino, and only a few of them are camo, and none of them are both...so I can see why they're showing me all those.  ha ha ha  (I sometimes think that whoever programs the Amazon search software needs to lay off the weed)   There's one that looks sort of decent, but it isn't a button-up.

Have you looked at G. Fred Asbel's site. His wife makes wool shirts, hooded pull overs, wool pants, etc. They aren't camo but plaids which works as camo in many color combos.

Fred has great jackets and ponchos, but not the style I'm looking for--a button-up, collared shirt.  They are weirdly hard to find in camo.

Yeah, I don’t know about camp but I picked up a couple of good old plaid Woolrich shirts on the auction site that accomplish the job, for cheap.

Yeah, I'm finding ebay to be the best bet for plaids.  And I can vouch that woolrich shirts are pretty good for camp, too.   ;D

Woolrich shirts do hold up, still have 2 I bought in '58 when I did a summer job with the Forest Service!  I sort of outgrew them, but Jacie still wears them.  Pendletons are very good, too.

I saw the title and thought,  what kind of shirt do you need to hunt wool in?  Is wool easily spooked?  can it smell nylon?  So many questions and your thread (made of cotton?) doesn't answer any of them. 8)
