The "Wool Blankets" thread got me wondering...does anyone know of a good place online to buy big, chunky, heavy wool sweaters or tops for the outdoors?

Thanks!

But you'll pay for it.
Probably the highest quality wool outdoorswear out there.
 
Try surplus stores. The Swedish, Swiss, Italian and German armies all switched from wool to manmade materials in the 80's and you can probably find blankets, pants, jackets and a lot of other don't make 'em like they used to quality gear
 
I got a Swedish wool jacket for $8 from 'major surplus and survival' and a pair of Swedish wool pants for $25 from another online vendor

tabeeb is right - the Euro militaries are emptying out their warehouses and some great deals on wool clothing are out there

my Swedish wool jacket was moldy-smelling but I handwashed it in the bath a couple of times with Eucalan and left it out in the sun and it's just fine now. the quality is amazing - you'd pay hundreds of dollars for the same item if it were manufactured today instead of being surplus.
