The return of GORP to wool and other natural fibers was always inevitable imo. Unironically technical clothing brands used by climbers and extreme hikers have been using wool for its numerous benefits for years in the most utilitarian manner. Just look at what companies like prana, kavu, mammut, black diamond or anything you might find at your local outdoor gear retailer have been making.
I wouldn’t be surprised if traditional spelunking garments like boiled wool vests and pants make a huge return this winter, to match the ‘old money Swiss mountaineer’ vibe of the current leather hiking shoe craze.
casentino wool is back on the menu baby
