>But the people bashing the price have zero experience with the product.

But plenty of experience with other wool garments. I don't need to get personally screwed to know that anyone spending $600+ on a single wool shirt is getting screwed. It sounds like the only thing it has going for it compared to other wool garments is that it's softer. Which, given that this item isn't even meant to be a base layer, doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.

From the website:

>The Anorak is intended for temps between from 10F/-12C to 80F/27C.

I'm having trouble imagining what kind of use you'd get from a $600 wool ugly (sorry) hoodie that isn't really effective under ten degrees F. I suppose if you were in a survival situation where you needed something lightweight, maybe, but for everyday stuff, well, I could get several things to keep me warm in that temp range for a fraction of that price. I got an ankle-length 100% wool coat from the thrift store for $5.50 that kept me completely warm during the -30F weather last week while I hauled stuff out to the garage. It's vintage, at least fifty years old, and looks like the day it was made. Or you could get a Carhartt coat for in the neighborhood of $100 that would do the trick. 10F is cold, but it's not the kind of cold where you need expensive specialized gear, you know? Of course, I'm a Minnesotan, so my views on that may be skewed.

I suppose if the point is to prove to people that you can spend over $600 on what's essentially a heavy shirt, then yeah, go for it. But that's more buyitforlikes than buyitforlife.
