Oh, on "scratchy" fabrics, I've got wool that people don't believe is wool so it comes in all types. In fact, I'd rather wear a good summer-weight wool on a hot day than most synthetic coolmax type fabrics. Wool absorbs sweat and odor far better than synthetics.

I've read a bit on Roman sheep and supposedly they were trying to breed sheep with longer staple wool, which would have made the wool stronger and softer. And with use, wool softens up nicely.
