“The killer of wool is the wind.” The statement that convinced me to choose this over the Anorak. Thanks. Great point!! Make the wool thick enough, and weave the wool tight enough and you actually overcome its weakness!!!

Thank you for this review and bringing these products to our attention. Would have never heard of them if not for you. Looks like good stuff.

Good video on what seems to be a great product!

I have the vest and Anorak. I believe it's supposed to be U.S. sourced merino wool. I've found that a cold breeze still passes through but not to the extent of the Lester River Boreal Anorak (Army Blanket) I have one. The best way around that is an outer shell, Goretex, Nylon, Waxed Canvas, Oil Skin, etc.

I live in northern California, between high desert and forest. I put on what I thought was a padded rain jacket after a heavy snow storm and was sweating in no time. Turns out its one of those extreme northern sea vessel jackets. Two other thick wool item I ended up with is a peacoat (needs animal hair removed) and wool navy pants. Haven't tried to use them in winter yet.

I'm in Northwest Indiana (right on Lake Michigan) and it gets pretty darn cold. I have the Boreal Shirt like you have and with the right base layers, and wind proofing, I'm good to around 0 to +10 degrees. If the mini ice age comes around, I'll definitely consider this company or a Filson. Thanks for bringing this company and product to our attention.

Absolutely way over my budget, but none the less, it’s nice to know of these items, I’ve went cheap all my life so far and now wish I would have treated myself to a good set of gear starting out, that will last a life time , so if you can, purchase either this or another of equal quality and save yourself the misery of cheap stuffs I have

Yes I went with Filson also it is awesome

Wow... Looks like an excellent jacket.. but that cost is more than I have right now. Thanks for the video

Seems like a great product

Bad ass coat. Like old school hunting jackets were made from but even thicker looks like. Look after it and will last decades

Very nice jacket. When I win the lottery I'll definitely be getting one.

Great review. Ive looked at this stuff. Could never justify spending that much. Good to know it does its job tho.

Awesome video and thanx for showing us these products! Wool is pricey but when you want to be warm and dry it’s one of the best natural materials. $350-400 I can do but $800 is a lil out of my reach due to my 4children.Really nice coat! Hey Matt any new knife designs that your thinking of doing? I’ve been saving up for your Sospes and I’m finally there ! Can’t wait to receive it!

Another great wool clothing company is King of the Mountain! They're also USA made and spends, but it's my go to for cold weather hunting!

Although I can't afford such expensive an item,I really enjoy watching and learning about it. What I can say is that domestic products(as well as Canadian made)are worth the price.For instance,although Levi's made in Poland,Morocco or Mexico are supposedly made under the same Levi's specs,is there any comparison between those and the "old"domestic ones?NO WAY! So,I really wish I could afford that product no matter the price.From time to time it's nice to see reviewing exceptional products like that.

Good review nice coat .

That jacket + a gortex outer shell of some type would be an awesome first line of defense against cold windy wet weather. I grew up in northern Vermont and had a wool suit. At -20f it was absolutely the warmest thing I ever wore as a kid. So warm in fact I couldn't wait to get out of it. Back then the feet, hands were what always got cold first. Insulated winter boots weren't popular yet.

How many layers did u wear under it when u was out in the cold wearing it?

Awesome review. Thank you for being upfront about the cost. I agree that items like this are needed to be reviewed, so that someone knows what to expect before they sink a very nice AR-15 amount of money into a coat. But according to indexmundi, raw wool jumped from $12 to $15 per kilogram over the last year. Hardly a doubling in cost.

Nice!

Where can I buy a hat like the one you're wearing in the beginning of the video?

I like their poncho.

Good review

What is the lowest temperature that you can bear with this coat?

Dang. Must be an awesome jacket at $800. Different strokes for different folks.

Is it tough?

does that have side zippers?? for core ventilation like the anorak? also what size is that and how tall are you?

Will I for one appreciate this video, even tho I have no need of a jacket this capable, simply because its items like this that people should want reviewed. You brought an item that will most likely be unknown to most of the outdoor youtube community that is an extremely expensive piece of gear and gave us your experience with it. Its items like this that really need to be reviewed so that people can get an idea of what they will receive for $800-850. Anyone who comes along on this video or any other complaining about the cost of the item simply has nothing better to do with their time.

The jacket/anorak is worth more than it costs. collectors item.

I am sure the Gateses of the world would go for such expensive coat. I am a working stiff so I will take Woolrich or Filson everytime. Last I looked they were American companies too. I shy away from Yuppy prices on basic clothing. You might be much wealthier than I am so you are welcome to it. Doug

Silly me, I thought Filson was expensive. This is a new plateau of expensive. Thanks for sharing.

Wow

How does it stand up to subzero temperatures?

Arguably it's the best out there, but the price isn't for everyone. An old wool army sweater or Icelandic sweater with a shell over it will keep you warm. But wool does rule.

Must have sold a lot of beeswax candles to afford this high end piece.

Uh are you ok? You look sick? You are not dying are you? I hope its just a diet and your health is good. Keep an eye on that prepared dude and make sure he doesnt off himself like that other guy did recently.

To expensive for me

For the billionaire bushcrafter who has everything... jeez!!! Wool is not an endangered species material. It’s a cheaply renewable resource. Mills and companies that spin the wool into awesome coats and anoraks do up that cost, but over $1000 for a wool jacket? Sure seems a bit predatory to me.

For $800 this jacket better take me out to dinner and get me laid. Ridiculous.

These are not specifically designed for hard outdoor use. I have a couple different WW coats, they’re nice enough, but they’re definitely fashion before function.

Just to much $$$$$ I’m sure it’s worth it but that’s a rent payment.

Lmao SMH clown 🤡
