I wear wool shirts (t-shirt, jersey, polo) pretty much year round. When
it's really hot (95F+) I like them while riding, but don't like them when
not. Kinda' weird, I guess it's probably the lack of air movement and
evaporation.

I have smart wool products and liked them initially, but have since found
them to tear a bit too easily and I'm generally very gentle with wool
garments. I love their socks though wear em all the time in any weather.
I like the Ibex garments but I think they're extremely expensive...I have

Speaking of wool washing...
I just picked up some Ecover Delicate Wash, which is rated for wool. I got
it basically because I was interested in how it works and it's about half
as much as Kookaburra. Seems to be working, but I've only done a few loads.
It's lavender scented, though. I don't mind i

Thanks for the coupon codes.
The 45%-ER only applied to 21% off the RedRam wool base layers. If the whole
45% worked, I woulda took the plunge!
I will keep an eye out for more deals.

I've been using Johnson's Baby Shampoo to wash wool for years. It's gentle,
smells great, and seems to do the trick.

The only piece I'd add to the posts provided here relates to wool care.
Once upon a time Woolite was the "go-to" detergent for wool - but somewhere
along the line the formula was changed and the "new" version appears to be
a lot more aggressive, which is good for cleaning grime, but significantl
I found a couple of pristine Pendleton shirts at GW -- as new, if even used
-- and really wanted to wear them riding, but found that they were a lot
itchier and less accommodating of temperature change (and riding position)
than wool knits. I passed them on to others who will get better use from

FWIW, Costco sells or used to sell a 3-pack of fluffy wool socks for $15.
Thick and warm, but squish
And don't forget old Pendleton shirts. Beautiful myriad plaids, usa-made
(at least the old ones), different weights and cuts, can be really cheap at
thrift stores...and they can be modified by cutting sleeves to
short-sleeved or sleeveless especilly of they're in rough shape and you
don't care
Mike, true that Icebreaker is manufactured in China, but they do make sure
that workers are treated fairly, well, they claim that they do:

No one actually looks at email signatures anymore, but here goes nothing:

The Icebreaker clothing is made in China, so no surprise it's offered at
big discounts. I prefer to buy US or NZ or Australia made items myself in
keeping with the Rivendell vision.
I like the Ibex jersey's and they have sales at the end of the season that
make the prices a little more reason

Wool is wool and so long as it's a cut and softness you are comfortable
with it will work just fine on the bike whether or not it is bike specific.
I don't own a bike specific piece of clothing anymore, but I wear wool year
round (skivvies and t-shirt in summer, other layers as needed). Brillian

Some of the specialty shop items are well made to be sure. But non-cycle
specific clothes will work very well.
Personal I suppose, but I like to verify the merino is Australian or U.S.
sourced. Saving a few bucks is not worth contributing to environmental
mayhem in central Asia.
