Surplus military wool can be very cheap to purchase. The old British Army Wooly Pully can be had for about $16 or £10 in the UK

Or if Woolen Tweed is your thing, for that country gent look then great deals can be had.

As mentioned previously Sierra Trading Post has lots of deals on some really high spec woolens. (High Quality Barbour woolens are available at good prices - Probably because woolens are currently out of fashion)

As you can see there are lots of high quality wool options. Merino wool, Lambswool and Shetland wool are all excellent and are actually remarkably good value considering how well high quality woolens last if taken care of properly.

My Favourite woollen is a Chevalier Orkney Sweater, which is very comfortable and very warm during those winter days
