(This isn't about just merino wool :)) The current crop of outdoor/trekking clothes is made in China or other Asian countries, uses non-renewable plastics and is difficult to repair. Finisterre, based in Cornwall, England, has a new line of clothing using 'beeswax impregnated poly-cotton fabrics, garments of traceable merino wool, and recycled polyester fabrics'. Great news!
