You'll find more linen than wool there. Unless your weather is very cold most of the time, linen tunics are just as authentic as wool.
B. Black sells wool, in various weaves and colors. 4 yard minimum, IIRC. Google "Wool fabric" or "woolen yard goods" and you should get some hits. Of large importance, however, is to find out which group in your area you may fall in with, and check with them about what they suggest. The idea in reenacting with others is not to stand out, but to fit in. If they swear by red tunics, then buy red wool. If they go with undyed, then get that kind. Check with the leadership of the group you may want to join. They can give you guidance. Anything we from the outside world say may be over-voted by your local Centurio. Don't let us lead you astray.
