Thrift stores can be a good source for wool clothes as well, so long as you don't mind someone elses castoffs. I've found a couple wool shirts for less than two bucks each, same applies to sweaters. A pair of old wool suit trousers make dandy hiking pants for moderate weather (and you look rather natty as well!). Add to that you're generally helping out a charity AND keeping stuff out of the landfills in the bargain - it really makes sense.

Of course, if you're one of those backcountry fashion people, it's unlikely that you'll find the lastest in North Face fashion at a Goodwill store, but if (like me) you're a "function over fashion" kinda person (and somewhat of a cheapskate) it can work out great.
