Wool shirts (woven button-up, not knit)

What does MFA recommend for wool shirts? I'm not talking about heavy overshirts, but more like regular weight button-up shirts, made from wool instead of cotton. I know of Pendleton. How is their quality? Any other brands to look at? Is this a good thing to look for second-hand / vintage?

Viyella is popular in the ivy community but I think their shirts are a cotton wool blend.

Anyone try unbound? I've had a few of their tshirts and had good experiences with them. Haven't bought any button ups from them though

Not interested in tees or polos. I'm asking specifically about button-up shirts.

Wool overshirts are great to find used/vintage. Pendleton, tons of brands for woolen flannels and stuff too. I think PTO and/or DWW have articles and info for brands to research. As always, I like to recommend casting a wide net on eBay first and just searching something like "wool overshirt" to see what turns up after a bit of filtering

I want something lighter weight than an overshirt. I've seen some good stuff on eBay.

Something a little warmer. Also, I just like the feel and versatility of wool. And I think pendleton shirts are kinda cool And in winter, cotton is the devil

I don't really see the point in a woven wool button-up shirt that's not an overshirt tbh they look a little weird and if you want warmth why not take the opportunity to layer?

maybe you're right maybe viyella is what I want. warm enough, and they come in quarter sizes, so it looks like 15-3/4 would have a good sleeve length for me.

I’m a fan of brushed wool flannel. My first experience with it was SLP, but it’s not a super rare fabric. You can buy it at moodys. (Also brushed cotton flannel but that’s not the question)
