Default Wool Suits

Anyone still use the traditional wool suits? Im thinking about getting a suit, but Im not sure what the drawbacks are.

I use one if the weather's real cold.The only drawback is that it get's really heavy when wet--but it'll still keep you warm

I have a nice Browning camo wool suit that I wear. I have it for extreme cold NE days. I have a nice pair of 6 pocket cargo pants w/ a matching jacket. I picked it up on ebay last year new. It has a very comfortable fleece lining in it too.
They do get heavy quick when wet.
I usually wear the pant most of gun season. The jacket only on cold sits.

I like a wool suit too. I prefer to wear with the vest. The vest keeps the tie in and keeps it from hanging out and catching on brush.

I have some Columbia wool overalls and a coat. I love them. The warmest clothes I've ever owned.

For bowhunting I wear Columbia wool. For Rifle season I wera the old red Plaid Woolrich. Can't beat it for warmth.
