most wool pants are dry clean only. I actually don't know anything about the actual context of these pants when in use.

(I'm not vouching for that vendor, but I'm pretty sure that's what I've got. I got mine from ebay)

What you want are boiled wool pants. They don't shrink. I have an old pair of ~work pants like that. I think that they were originally part of a suit.

Thanks for the suggestion. That does sound exactly like what I want. I'll be ordering a few pairs to see if it works out as well as it sounds.

Cool.

Boiled wool blankets are also great. Very warm. And very durable. Much like felt.
