Search the web for the military surplus mail order companies.  I get tons
of catalogs from Sportsmans Guide.  They usually have wool
trousers/jackets/shirts very reasonably priced.  I bought some German or
Swiss wool trousers that  are very good quality for $20.  I also bought
some old US Army wool trousers that are much lighter for around $10.  It
hit or miss when or what they have but they usually have trousers and
jackets.  Shirts seem hard to find for some reason.  I got some US Army
shirts that were made in 1950.  They may not be "in" nor the latest plastic
sold by the retailers but for 10$ for clothes that are warm when wet, I'll
take 'em.

If you can't find them on the web let me know and I'll find a number for
you.  I just don't have it handy hear at work.

Hope this helps.
Dan
