I have an Asbell and LRB; the LRB is worth the price difference, seriously. The Asbell is okay, but is a looser wool thread and isn't very windproof. The LRB has some incredible attention to detail and some really unique features. The price sucks, but I'm seriously satisfied and would pay it again knowing what I know...

Currently out of stock but I bet this is what your looking for price and style. I got one, and eventually ordered a second to stash in my gear bins about a year ago. ETA/ Jämä Blanket Shirt Price 87.99 USD They are very warm, not something you could wear and be very active in unless the temps are really low, but perfect for sitting around the fire late fall winter or spring. |

Hit up your local Goodwill or other thrift store and you can usually find inexpensive sewing machines. You're probably not going to find any high end machines but unless you're sewing really thick, heavy wool even a basic machine should work well enough as long as you don't force it. It's a good skill to have and honestly it can be pretty fun. I learned to use a sewing machine back in middle school when I took a home economics class (which I most very strongly support bring back for all students). Years ago I used to sew Halloween costumes for co-workers, sew their patches on, hem pants, sewed some Renaissance Faire/SCCA clothes for some geek friends, etc. for beer money.

I bought one a couple years ago. Plus you get the added bonus of looking like an extra in The Lord of the Rings. If going this route, I recommend sizing up a bit because the fabric does not stretch, so as a pullover getting it on or off could be challenging if it's too small. |

There is no alternative to the Lester River Green Boreal shit, at least in my opinion. Quality wool doesn’t come cheap today, but is well worth it. With care the LRGBS will last a lifetime. I’ve tried a ton of different wool products, most mentioned in this post and none come close with the exception of maybe Weatherwool and I don’t really care for the feel of the Weatherwool material. Fit is roomy and sleeve length perfect (6’4” 265lbs XXL) the wool used is thick and rugged with the workmanship superb. Expensive? Yes, but you won’t be disappointed as you’ll own most likely the finest quality outdoor wool shirt made today.

ROCK6 What size did you go for? I am 5'8 ~200~215 depending on the year. I am thinking Large as I don't want it quite as big as my XL JM finnish wool shirt... |

I want to say it's a large and fits well enough with a T-shirt under or even an extra mid layer. I contacted LRB and he gave me great advice. |
