If anyone has any experience with this and thinks I'm wrong I'm all ears, but how much better can this stuff possibly be?

I believe that at some point everything reaches a point where it's too expensive to justify regardless. I think King of the Mountain clothing is a perfect example of this.

Well, it's pretty nice stuff from a cut and comfort standpoint. From a quality standpoint, it's near the top of the scale too. I own some Sleeping Indian which is very similar (employee spin-off company). With today's synthetics, I don't wear as much wool as I once did and in the PacNorthwest, don't really find a use for it for the kind of hunting I mostly do. If you look at Columbia and Cabela's wool, it's come a long way in terms of quality and especially fit. The cut of most wool was straight and didn't bend well with your arms, shoulders, and torso. King Cavalier took wool a few steps forward with King of the Mountain. Others have followed suit so today, unlike the early 90's when King of the Mountain really took hold, you have a lot more choices for less money. Like all premium brands, it isn't for everyone whether you can afford it or not.
I always say: a lot of big animals were tagged in blue jeans and a plaid shirt.
