Default Looking for quality wool hunting clothes

Having recently read GFA's magazine articles on wool, I'm interested in wool's light diffusing properties he talks about. He says deer hair does the same thing and that's why they're so hard to pick out when they're standing still, even though most of their coat it one color. I'm a simple guy and that makes simple sense to me. Anyone know of anyplace that sells quality wool shirts, pullovers, etc? I'm not interested in anything that's been really processed or sprayed with any water repellant junk or any fancy camo patterns, just 100% wool clothes. I've compared KOM, SI and Grey Wolf. SI caught my attention as I think they're the least processed. Any info/experience with these or other lesser known brands would be helpful. I understand GFA's wife makes wool shirts but I don't think she sells on-line.

I pretty much gave up on the camo and wear wools during the chillier days.On warmer days,I'll wear brown or green khaki's and a light plaid flannel shirt.I shot an 8pt last year at 5yds from an 8' treestand wearing a Woolrich brown /tan plaid heavy wool shirt and green Cabela's wool pants.I also have a GFA wool pull-over.Nice shirt but I think Ron LaClair's wools are nicer(check out his link).Some other traditional woolens are Johnson Mills and Filson

I've had the Filson, Columbia, Pendleton and Gray Wolf..... I liked Gray Wolf the best. Just seems like a better quality of wool. I've always wanted to try KOM but never sprung for it. I've got so much Gray Wolf stuff now I don't think I'll ever need more.
