>>311426>>311426I have been focusing on buying Merino wool garments from my thrift store for the last 6 to 8 weeks or so. I only check every couple of weeks, but usually find a great score. Fine Merino wool sweaters (one cashmere and one Alpaca) from Italy (or Peru in one case) and such that should run $65 - $85 for $7 USD.
Damn near perfect condition in almost every case, but I am also very selective. I presume the folks that buy this quality of garment are also the type that lead sheltered, climate controlled lives, have their laundry done at the Dry Cleaners... and wear ties. Been keeping it to nice neutral greys and charcoals, starting to have some pride in my purchases.
My Merino socks I buy at my favorite outfitter store.
>>311403>cotton killsCotton is great for dry cool to warm to hot climes. Jeans don't suck /out/! (but really they do). They are heavy, bulky, slow drying and restrictive in the 505 cut I tend to wear, when and if I do. But they are durable and fit my everyday /fa/ lifestyle, so I don't let that stop me from doing a impromptu day hike after work
>>311292Various synth materials for me pants have proven light, durable and quick drying. I try to keep to convertibles for versatility, but not required. Honestly, I rarely take off the leggings, I'd rather have the protection from sun and brush when bushwhacking. I have been picking up from the Suisse Sport and Triple Nickel lines at Big 5 (second tier, bottom tier really when compared to Dead Bird and TAD operator operator stuff).
