Being allergic to any clothing with poly/neo in it, or wool that touches the skin, it's basically cotton with me. So it comes down to the weave in the cotton garment. The equation is: tighter the weave, more warmth, more money. Two-layered thermals, flannel lined jeans, cotton shirts and sweatshirts. Wool socks over cotton ok.  Twice I've tried to wear neoprene booties when river fishing and my feet, ankles and lower leg looked like I had measles when I took them off :o

The best IMO is silk layer first and wool over that.  Maybe a nylon windbreaker over the wool.. but optional... saves tearing up the wool shirt on brush and briars.

Silk is better than cotton by far.  8)

Under Armour is ridiculously expensive but but it keeps me warm plus dry all winter.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

The wool itch drives me crazy....

My uncle couldn't wear wool. But it's never bothered me at all. Two wool blankets on the bed and another on the seat of the truck.  ;D

   Back in the early 70s when I was in the Navy our winter blue uniform was a tight weave of wool that didn't bother me but some of the guys had to get thin liners sewed in to keep the wool off their skin. Those Navy Pea Coats were really nice but mine shrunk too much. ;D

I bought another layer today.  I was in Academy Sports and a nice lightweight camo jacket "needed" me.   :D
