Default Wool/Wool Blend Hunting Parka/Jacket.

I am in the market for a new Jacket for hunting in the extreme cold. I know I want a Wool/Wool Blend parka but does anyone know a good brand or where to get one? It seems good wool parkas with hoods are hard to find...at least for me.
Anyone that can give any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Real wool has gotten pretty expensive over the years. Filson still makes some good stuff, as well as the Sleeping Indian Mountain Hunter series. Personally, I wear a quality wool vest - but between the underamour cold gear, layers of polar fleece, and the gore tex shell outer layer; I'm pretty toasty down to -25 with this system.

Go to google and search for this companies;
Gray Wolf wool
Sleeping Indian wool
King of the Mountain wool
They are the top 3 makers of wool hunting clothing I believe, there not cheap.
Good Luck.

I've got a 100% wool bomber jacket in Predator Fall Gray from Gray Wolf Woolens... simply the nicest, warmest piece of clothing I own. It's so warm that I typically only wear it when it's below freezing...

I've got a complete set of Sleeping Indian, great stuff! But I think the Grey Wolf is more tailored for bowhunters. I'm looking into some of there wolfskin.
