Great question Ghost. I really think it is a regional thing with many in the far northeast still wearing wool. It is funny but when I hunt VT, NH or Maine I always wear my Johnson Woolen Mills green pants and Johnson Wool jacket along with rubber 18" boots. My methods hunting here is still hunting and having wool works well for that. My outfits are all forest green and I wear an orange hat and vest. In the old days it was no orange but in modern times having safety orange is important. I still have some dedicated hunting friends that still stay dark in the woods but in my older age I can't justify taking that kind of risk. I have worn that arrangement for 45 years. When I hunt the west or mid west I don't even bring it and use all the camo stuff I get from Cabelas.
