I always wear the green Johnson Wool pants and get several seasons out of them. My standard coat is a Johnson green and black checked with a felt lining on the body but not the arms. I do wear an orange vest and if really cold wear an insulated vest under the coat and or an extra layer for the arms. Quiet and warm works for me. They are even warm when wet but do get heavy. The Beagle Wear is made in VT too and is the next generation of woolen wear. Great stuff but pricey. I plan on getting some of that when the Johnson stuff starts to wear.
