Jim is something special!! -- Thanks for watching! -- Ralph

They made some great stuff in the old days!!! Lately, people keep adding cotton and other stuff to "woolen" garments. Or adding synthetic liners. We use only wool because anything else detracts from performance. Take care of that old jacket!!! Thanks and Best Regards ---- Ralph

I'm trying to interest some university-lab types to do it on a much more formal and careful basis!!! --- THANKS --- Ralph

Josh is a lot of fun to be around, and Cody did a terrific job with the video! THANK YOU --- Ralph

The bison are enormous, plus amazingly fast. And I don't understand their moods. So to me, they are very scary!! And Josh is telling me THEY CAN SMELL FEAR. That didn't help!! -- Ralph

It’s a common misconception but it’s actually the second.

THANKS WAYNE!!!!! --- Ralph

how does the wool denim feel up against the skin?

It's really soft and comfortable. No itch or scratch as you might expect from 100% wool. I wore the denim pants sample last winter and into the spring, and they are like comfortable sweatpants. You won't be disappointed. - Cody

​@@bobjohnson6321I just got mine and I can't take it off. It really is very comfortable even over a tee shirt. Much softer and more robust than cotton denim.

Once you have a piece, you'll never go back to the junk you get at REI.

Same! With the exception of a few technical layers, I've been donating or eBaying my other outerwear etc!

Thanks

Denim weight about the same as MidWeight Fabric. It has performed very well in the weather. I haven't had a chance to wear it myself much over the winter but I was pleased with how well it performed. Not up to the performance of MidWeight in my opinion but will have a better-informed opinion come April 2025. As you can see in the vid, Cody was very happy with weather-resistance. Mobility same as MidWeight in my experience. Thanks --- Ralph

In my opinion what the MidWight does better than the denim is trap air in the wool itself. It’s more breathable. I love the feeling of a cool breeze coming and then feeling the warm air blow through on my skin. Not sure if that makes sense, but in other words, I’m less likely to build up sweat in the MidWeight. So if wearing directly on skin like a CPO vs Chore Coat I’d say go mid weight CPO. The Jacquard fabric is pretty special. On the other hand, as a work coat dealing with saw dust or just general work coat I’d probably prefer the denim. It’s pretty tough stuff.

Thanks for sharing ☘️

@@WeatherWool Thanks Ralph!

@@TrustinTimber Thanks Cody!

THANKS CALEB .... Any issues, please LMK! --- Best Regards --- Ralph

WOW!!!! THANK YOU!! --- Ralph

is it soft?

@@microsnook3 is it soft? Let me put it you this way. YES!

SCOTLAND is some of the ORIGINAL "WOOL-NEEDED" COUNTRY!!! --- Ralph

Never heard of Southampton to Montana!!! Nice ... Montampton has a real ring to it!!! Best Wishes --- Ralph

@@WeatherWool I fit in better here 🤣🤣

THANK YOU ... We are working on the North Maine Double Coat ... You might be interested in that!!! Best Regards -- Ralph

Great working with you, Caleb!!! --- THANKS --- Ralph

We are very happy with the performance in the weather so far. But we haven't had it "in the field" with customers very long. Only since April. We had a few pieces ourselves that we wore last winter, and we decided to offer the Denim to customers. I think it's not quite the performance of the MidWeight, but it's also a totally different animal. The fiber is the same as our other Fabrics, but everything else is different. You can always return if not happy (our standard policy). THANKS!! -- Ralph

Well ... a lot cheaper than cars!! --- Hope you like the wool you already have. THANK YOU!!!! -- Ralph

That's a good question and i don't know the answer ... but i have sent a query to the experts at American Woolen! ... Will get back! --- Ralph

@@WeatherWool Great, thanks a lot!

I have the chore coat in indigo. Love it. Probably gonna pick up charcoal in the next week or so.

@@Bfettrules that's what I was thinking myself: Charcoal in the next week or so

@@andrewdg90 it’s a great BIFL investment. Filson is charging more and the quality is nowhere near as good as weatherwool.

We are finalizing the design on the Denim Pants now. I am insisting on a cellphone pocket -- with a zipper -- at the side of the thigh ... behind the handwarmer pocket and a few inches lower. I keep thinking EVERYONE eventually is going to wonder why they ever wore clothing that didn't provide a truly secure pocket for the phone! --- Expecting to ship some of these Pants this year --- Ralph

YESSIR ... i think we'll be shipping some denim pants this year, but we have not finalized the design yet --- Ralph

@@WeatherWool Ordered myself a pair of indigo.

THANK YOU. We have been offering blankets for a while, but have not thought about Denim Blankets yet!! -- Ralph

Seriously? Yikes!! -- Ralph

@@WeatherWool Seriously -- Jeans manufactures use lasers to pre-ware spots. They used to use sanding drums.

It's a very particular kind of wool they use (rambouillet merino), and there are not many ranches here in the U.S. that have the sheep they can harvest it from, thus it's a very finite supply. They make to orders from their site. Doesn't cost you anything to put in an order though.

Chore coats are in stock now. With a production cycle that typically spans 12-18 months (weatherwool.com/pages/start-to-finish), we tend to be sold out a lot. We have just lately switched to a system where we make mostly the items that have been reserved. This will help us make more efficient use of our Fabrics, and fill more orders. If you intend to purchase, let me know directly, please. Best Regards -- Ralph

@@WeatherWool You are completely dependent on other companies. If one of them goes down your business grinds to a halt (covid). I'd think a logical first step is after the fabric is made to bring the sewing of the products in house. Shorten the production cycle. And thank you for updating the website. Still needs work but it's far better than it was.

@@user-st9wh4ed5l We ARE completely dependent on other companies. And this is completely standard. EVERYONE is dependent on many others. If we had our own sew shop, we'd still depend upon the people who make thread ... and there are precious-few American thread-makers. The dependencies go on and on and on. But anyway, running a sew shop is a huge undertaking. There are over 60 different "operations" involved in the sewing of our Anorak. Machines, skilled and experienced workers ... and even-more-skilled and experienced managers are required. We depend upon MANY Partners (weatherwool.com/pages/partner-relations). Our Partners have long experience, wide knowledge and large investments in their work. Glad you like the updated website. YEP, still needs lots of work. EVERYTHING needs lots of work!!! Thanks, Best Regards --- Ralph

​@@user-st9wh4ed5lalright but, why don't you give it a shot?
