Michael, I wear mostly wool when I'm riding (or running, or rowing, or whatever) and, no, the clothing does not need to be cycling specific. My wool cycling trousers are my wool rowing trousers. Wear what you will. . . I recently cycled around the west of Ireland for a week and wore a regular wool t-shirt, sometimes a slightly heavier wool cycling specific top (an old Earth, Wind, and Rider top) and wool gaberdine trousers. I also had with me a medium weight wool sweater, wool gloves, and lightweight wool over the calf socks (from Chrome; they're wonderful). I was quite comfortable in all conditions and went from bike to cafe or pub without looking "like a cyclist", whatever that means :-)
