Photo Hunt - Itchy

This week's theme photo hunt theme is itchy, and I thought I might share a photo of my favourite pure wool sweater, which I love, but is sooo itchy. Instead, and perhaps because yesterday was Remembrance Day here in Canada I decided to feature these pics instead.

Itchy wool jackets, worn by historical military re-enactors.

Can you imagine what it might have been like for 19th century soldiers who had to wear itchy woolen jackets, throughout battles, and even in hot weather!

Happy weekend, and happy photo hunting!

I am not a big fan of wool - for that reason - i am itchy wearing this kind of fabric.

Neat take and very good one.

I have a pair of wool pants that I love but can't wear often because it's itchy. :)

Happy weekend!

Great choice for the theme. I've read in books about people in centuries where they had wool undergarments. I'd rather be cold!

Think of all those early mountain climbers too, before gortex and fleece etc. Yep they wore itchy wool too.

Your photos nicely tied together photohunt and Remembrance Day. Just looking at the photos makes me itch. I'm glad hiking gear has come a long way and that there are some great options to itchy wool.

I can't wear certain wool sweaters but find lambswool (and, of course, cashmere) to be okay. Even so, those are only for really cool and colder days as I find that somehow, wool gets softer when the weather gets cooler/colder! :D

I have wondered the same thing. How DID they do it, wear itchy wool in summer?
