Default RE: Wool Hunting Suits, Best Suits Available?

I use Codet for my outerwear. I consider it to be a mid range product, comparable to Woolrich, but I've been satisfied with it. The price is low end for real wool. My next pair of bibs will probably be Filson. I'm not sure I'd recommend the Filson outer garmets for upper body. Most of them are unlined, and button front, designed for active use, not specifically for deer hunting. I prefer a coat with a zipper, and a wind resistant liner. My Codet is just right.

For under layers, I've scored some fantastic deals at second hand stores. I have a black commando sweater, 100% wool, ribbed, with elbow and shoulder patches, wearing the Cabela's label that I bought for $3. It is my favorite garmet. I also have a light turtle neck sweater, 100% Merino wool, it is the cat's ass forlayer one, doesn't itch at all. I bought it out of a $0.99 bin at goodwill. I also have a Herter's Brush buster green wool flannel that I use a lot, dropped a 5 dollar bill for it.
