I have one I got from Cabellas years ago in bargain deal,cheap.Henley style olive green,use it layering.15 yrs old
The other one for winter is a thick ragg wool,white/brown/gray my dad left me, Eddie Bauer.30+ yrs old. Excellent in snow. Both where made in US. I would check out used clothing stores for quality ones cheep. Love wool. Look for English,Irish and New Zealand stuff too.

LL Bean is a good choice too

If you check out Woolrich.com that may be a good place to find some woolies that hold up for years. If you have an army surplus warehouse nearby, that would be another excellent place to find super woolies at a great price. I got some there for snowshoeing in the Rockies 15+ years ago. The ad to my left is showing Santana Outdoors with Merino Wool. LOL Good luck with your woolie hunt!

army/navy is the cheapest way to get some good cold weather sweaters IMO.

It isn't cheap, but I got a filson waterfowling sweater as a gift 10 years ago and it is awesome.

I have a Cabelas Wool Sweater with Windshear that I haven't any use for. Got it last Christmas as a present, size large and in like new condition. If you're interested I'd be more n willing to sell it to you. Send me a PM if interested.
