Wyoming Bison Socks Are Better Than Wool
You may have seen some Old Western movies where a cowboy wears a big furry coat made from bison.
You can still get a coat like that today, although it's expensive.
What about bison socks?
Hang on, we're just getting started.
How about heavy hunting socks, ultra-warm and cozy sleep socks, bison leather gloves, full garment-tanned bison robes, and a whole lot more?
Bison wool is known for its exceptional insulation qualities.
The fine undercoat from which the fiber is sourced is incredibly warm yet breathable, providing warmth without the bulk.
This makes it ideal for thermal layers that can regulate body temperature in harsh winter conditions yet remain comfortable during physical exertion.
Bison fibers are strong and resilient, much like the animal itself.
They can withstand wear and tear better than many other natural fibers, leading to clothing that lasts longer.
This durability contributes to reducing textile waste, aligning with circular economy principles.
Merlin's Hide Out of Thermopolis, Wyoming created bison coats worn by Kurt Russell in The Hateful Eight.
Bison wool is hypoallergenic.
It doesn't contain lanolin, which is often the cause of skin irritation in sheep wool, making it a great alternative for people with allergies or sensitive skin.
It's soft.
It wicks away moisture.
The list goes on.
Here is the link to one company, online that sells bison clothing.
To see and feel and even try on these items try Merlin's Hideout in Thermopolis Wyoming.
