Those army surplus pants are very nice as well. Enjoy!😁

Thanks for watching!👍

Absolutely agree.

They would be perfect!👍Thanks for watching!

Glad you like them and that’s an ingenious way to use the excess fabric! Thanks for watching my friend! New Wool Kit From Boreal Mountain Anoraks. Buffalo Plaid Jacket and Blanket! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o6l7apaDv7O9nXk.html

Thanks for watching and sharing your story you were fortunate to get those hand me downs! These days it’s getting more difficult to find used wool pants, particularly Mil Surplus. Take care👍

Looking forward to some cooler temps for sure!🍻

Hi Terry, I’m looking forward to using them in colder weather, it’s in the high 80s today! Take Care buddy🙏

You bet, it pays to be prepared👊

I’m looking forward to trying them out, thanks for watching 👍

Filson makes a great product, glad you enjoy them and get your use out of them!👍

​@@Woodswalker1965 They definitely do. In the past it hasn't bothered me to pay their higher prices because the products are worth it: clean design, great materials and workmanship. And they have commendable employer practices that include paying a living wage, at least for their domestic workers. True, the family sold the company in 1970 and it's flipped ownership about four times since then, but even within their expanded line of more market-driven items they still offer the legacy stuff. Their traditional tin-cloth and wool jackets, and their bridle leather trimmed rucksacks and Pullman bags can take the crap beat out of them and never die. This in contrast to a company like Woolrich, founded in 1830 and sold great stuff - now a shadow of its former self. They sold off in 2016 and by now none of their classic items are in their line. And what is, I'd wager, no one here would want.

Thankfully I bought all my Woolrich before they were sold. Filson is a quality company, I only have one of their shirts. BMA actually has professional tailors in Montreal QC making their wool products. They are paid well, you have to respect that for sure!

@@Woodswalker1965 re. Woolrich: heard dat! I checked out BMA website this morning. It all vibes great. Maybe next Christmas:)

@@Woodswalker1965 at the risk of overstaying my welcome I gotta mention one more thing. Anyone whose pastimes include being outdoors in cold weather, especially hikers, look into the merino t-shirts by a Seattle based company called Wooly. They are awesome. Doubtless many will find their cost beyond feasibility or beyond reason. But if not, I’m sure you’ll find them to be a game changer. They’re a jersey weight/ feel fabric, comes in V neck or three button, long and short sleeve. Limited colors, light and dark blue, maybe black. Zero itch (but then merino usually doesn’t). They’re ridiculously warm. For me they’ve become THE indispensable base layer. And they somehow process sweat in way that never smells. If you try these and go back to polypropylene base layers, well, to each his own. I hand wash them. You can machine wash with cold water but don’t mix with anything like zippers or Velcro, they’ll cause a run for sure. Been wearing ‘em now for three winters. Wooly also makes boxer shorts out of the same fabric but I find them too short. Company has good ethics and promotes non-plastic. Lastly, in all this wool talk for those who think they don’t like wool watch some of the good videos on KZfaq about how wool is made. There are many ways wool is processed and not all wool is from sheep hair. Merino and cashmere, to name two, are fine, long fibers that really aren’t scratchy. Alright, whose soapbox was this? I’m done :)

Hope you get a pair my friend, you will love them!👊

You're welcome! Thanks for watching👍

Wool is awesome as you well know. I’ve had mil surplus pants as well with great success but I find them more difficult to find these days. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks my friend, you as well!

Glad it was helpful, thank you!

Never disappoints 👍

Thanks for watching Marlowe, I’m sure you’ll love them when you get them.👍

Just looked them up. At my age I look at the price of things and how many years I might use them and divide by the cost of the item. In this case they'd cost $20/yr for the next 20 years... 'cause they'll last that long I'm sure.. LMAO. I could give them as an inheritance after. All kidding aside - I know I'll love them. @@Woodswalker1965

Love them!👊

Haha say hi to Andy for me👊

Some of the mil surplus stuff is great, I’ve had a lot over the years!👍

Hey Mike, I don’t have the Big Bill pants as of yet but that would make a good video.🍻

Thanks for watching bud. A XL works for me but I’m over 200 lol. If you take your chest measurement and add 4-6 inches that should tell you your size on the BMA website. If you need more info call Andy, I’ve found he is usually available to help . Cheers!

Take care buddy👍

I any speak to the Filson pants but since having these over the winter now I can say that these are amazing wool pants. They are warm, comfortable, well built and not itchy. Thanks for watching and let me know how you make out👍

​​@@Woodswalker1965Winter is almost gone at least for me, I'm in northern California. In my area we don't get much snow past February. I'm gonna continue doing more research on different wool pants. Also I need to save more cash for a purchase like this haha 😂😂. The only thing that's a slight negative for me on the BMA wool pants is that you can't wear suspenders with them. But that price is sure tempting. I'm considering buying one of their wool blankets in order to try out one of their other products before getting some pants, jacket etc. Maybe the loden blanket.

I'm also interested in their gaiters. That wool on the outside seems like a great idea for making quieter gaiters. I would wear while deer hunting.

I get it, we all have different responsibilities and priorities. I appreciate you watching!
