Yes, and it is cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.[/quote]
Salve John,
You are right about that too, for a few years when I started reconstitution, I wore a linen tunic all the time, then the more I read documentation, the more I was under the impression that I was marching in underwears... I have adopted wool over my linen, and I will never go back. Wool tunic protect from the cold but also regulates body temperature better from the heat too. I tried it a few weeks ago with 34°Celcius and it felt quite comfortable.
To try it is to adopt it!
The Goat felt I use was made in a monastary in the South West of france. It is made the traditional way with a technique they claim goes back to the Middle ages. They still make this tissue for shepperds long mantels that they wear year around...
This prove your point and mine about the great quality of wool.
Vale
