Bestest…I mean Worsted…Wool is The Best

When browsing photos of turn-of-the-century Coney Island, you’ll see proper ladies in gents with wool britches, layered skirts and parasols. In another scene, there might be a mustachioed gent in a full bathing suit – long legged one piece and all. It all looks rather picturesque until you realize that the photo was taken in 90 degree weather at the peak of August. The idea of heatwave wool makes me itchy and dehydrated just thinking about it. Sure, will is durable but the idea of tailored suiting or corsets in the heat makes me glad that anything seems to go nowadays.
The use of wool sure has been relegated to the winter months these days. However, the way that cotton t-shirt and underthings wear out with washings and sweating and general abuse, I wish that they had the durability of the 1940s suit stashed in my closet that looks great after all of these years despite heavy wear.
Rambler’s Way offers wardrobe basics, such as T-shirts, made of superfine worsted wool. Superfine has a similar thickness to a synthetic fabric, such a polyester, rather than to standard wool. Worsted wool is created by setting the wool fibers in the same direction, rather then twisting them around each other, as in standard yarn. The result is a stronger wool product with a smoother hand. The material is suitable for undergarments and provides superior moisture wicking.
What’s more is Rambler’s Way garments are 100% made in the United States. Garments are assembled in the United States and the wool comes from a network of family farms full of happy sheep. One of the sheep on the Maine farm is Isaac, at left. While his impressive horns look intimidating and he is a great protector of the flock, he has a gentle side.
Rambler’s Way exclusively markets wares on their websites. Samples of the wool are available so you can see for yourself, or should I say feel for yourself.
