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?

For all clothing I default to thrift stores. For me, better consumption is buying stuff that already exists as a way to reduce demand. Also mending and taking care of what I have.

If you have to buy new, I'm not sure compostable is the "right" choice. Better to buy something that will last a long time if you're buying new, and compostable is likely to degrade (in my assumption).
