Prototype 100% wool BCP logo quarter zip pullover

I like 100% wool garments for flying because they have natural fire resistant properties, as well as good insulative performance when wet. I had a lambswool quarter zip sweater made this week with our logo to see if you guys are interested in buying these. I'm having trouble finding a good wholesale source for the 100% wool garments, but hoping to have a price point around $50. Cat hair is extra.

Re: Prototype 100% wool BCP logo quarter zip pullover

Love real wool ! It lasts a lifetime. I have some socks that were hand knitted in Switzerland in the 1930s. I still wear them once in while out of nostalgia. And yes I still have cast iron carabiners but lost my lederhosen.

Conflicted. Love the concept, but I need another wool top like I need a prop strike. Still,...

Re: Prototype 100% wool BCP logo quarter zip pullover

I like it. I feel your pain on getting wholesale pricing on smaller orders (and on higher quality textiles).

I have two dogs and I like the marketing idea of pet hair included. It never fails, after I take a picture of an item for the website, I see a hair that I didn't see when I was shooting it. I love photoshop and lightroom.

We've had good dealings with Ibex. Higher price point, but excellent products. I've found them to be helpful to work with. See their stance on Made in the USA

Yeah, finding the right garments is critical, especially in the wool market where the quality really varies. This one isn't particularly great when compared to an Icebreaker or Smartwool, but it's also pure wool with no synthetic.

Anyway, I'll keep looking and will check into Ibex. I almost bought one for my prototype but it was $$$. Made in the USA would be worth a few bucks for sure.

I'm almost religious in terms of not being a walking billboard, but I'd wear this.

Pendleton shirts. I've only got three of those now and don't wear them like I used to. I don't wear any button down really so this looks like a good possibility for me. I'll go one.
