Wool Clothing: the complete list
I thought I'd try to consolidate the wool producers in one place. Please add if I have missed anyone.

Cedar Cycling http://www.cedarcycling.com/ Norcal USA local.

Ibex

Icebreaker

Rapha

Road Holland

Torm

Who is the technical fabric guru here...is the material used by the above fairly similar or are there some marked differences?

Getting my head around design, cut, stylistic and price differences.

What are you looking for? Jerseys or base layers?

The wool jerseys made by Rapha, Road Holland, and Torm are a wool blend, mostly polyester.

On the other hand, almost all the stuff from Ibex and Icebreaker is 100% wool.

Kucharik is still making 100% wool jerseys and undershirts in the USA.

Not aware of any 100% wool jerseys by RoadHolland or Torm, but Rapha does offer some 100% wool jerseys -- I believe most or all are in their "city riding" collection.

Generally a big fan of the wool tees by Outlier...

Have a bunch of lightweight Ibex garments, which are brilliant...except for the fit.

I stand corrected.

However, the Rapha "city" wool jerseys are more like sweaters than jerseys, since they only have one small rear pocket.
