Felt is another of those amazingly warm items that most people have forgotten about
Ah, yes. I've a wool felt "Railroad Vest" from L.L.Bean, back before they became yuppie valhalla, that's very warm.
It's called the "Railroad Vest" because it has a watch pocket for the conductor's "Railroad Watch".
IIRC, wool felt is what the Mongolians use to build their Yurts (tents) that withstand the winter blasts from the artic.
