the warehouses backcountry do a damn good cheap wool jersey, but its not super windproof.
I usually wear a merino possum blend turtle sweater (might be made by the wool company?) which keeps me warm enough then if it gets too windy or wet I chuck the swazi or old wool jacket over top.

Those Micklagaard jackets and anoraks are definitely an heirloom piece eh. Beautifully made.
I get what you're saying about handing things down. I just bought a new waxed canvas jacket and every time I wear it I'm like "this thing's gonna outlast me" and it's a cool feeling
