I believe this is an either/or question. You either love the feel of wool against the feel of your skin or the very thought of it turns you into mush.
And maybe it's hereditary. I was born near winter and I don't recall
not wearing some sort woollen garment in the cold. We move from La Jolla, CA, my birthplace, to Cheyenne, WY after my first summer in CA and moved in with the snow. I don't remember a thing about my first winter in Cheyenne, but I once had a lot of 8mm color movies.
When I was working (and dinosaurs had dominion over man) I loved pulling out my heavier woollen winter suits from storage just as I loved pulling out my lighter woollen summer suits from storage as the temperatures rose.
You actually cared for your clothing back then. A bespoke suit made for you at 24 should still fit like a bespoke suit on you at 44. I have shirts made in 1982, the few rescued from the "divorce fire" and various other fires, that are just a wee too large around my torso. But then, I've only one suit remaining and where would I go in a suit these days?
Oops. Sorry.
I don't know anyone who can take it or leave it. Wool. There are probably far fewer of we who love the stuff now.
I must get away from this thread! I intend to watch at least two movies today!
