There are some fabulous UK cottage industry brands making brilliant clothing from UK wool and other natural materials. I bought a couple of bits from Bison Bushcraft (check out their range) at a wood fair / show. They were expensive but are wonderful products. The wool smock / shirt is my go to for cold weather dog walks. I wouldn't wear them for work because of the cost and because I have logo'd sweaters and polos etc for work. I really enjoy that its UK materials and UK hand made. Wool is one of the best fibres out there for the outdoor life, cheap man made materials providing affordable outdoor gear were its demise. Its sad that the fleece is pretty much worthless to farmers but that the highest quality garments commanding a strong price come from it. Farmers losing out again...
