wool is hard to wear out but it sure loves to shrink
The trick is to buy XXXL and then wash in in hot water to fit.

The Gaels had a thing where they would wash newly woven bolt of wool and then all the women would work and beat it by hand until it was dry. They had songs to sing sort of like the old gang working songs. Supposedly the fabric was nearly waterproof when finished.
