I’m in the market to get a completely fresh set of winter clothing, but what materials should I be looking for and which companies should I be buying from? I’ve heard good things about Merino wool and alpaca fur, but a lot of that stuff is mixed with synthetics. Anything completely compostable out there?

Personally I really love my old winter parka from Helly Henson. After 10 years it have sustained a wide range of winters and keep my dry even today. However HH have been bought by a financial fund and I see their Enshitification coming

Patagonia is now own by a trust fund that the old owner have set up with protecting the environment in their bylaw IIRC. They have sales that have normally worth to check out
