Selvedge Poncho
DESCRIPTION: These Ponchos are large and only come in one size. We use the entire width of the bolt of Fabric, including the selvedge ... 57 inches (145 cm) across. Next run, this may change, depending on the width of the bolt. The front of the Poncho is about 42 inches (107 cm) and the back a little longer at about 44 inches (112 cm)
FIT GUIDE: Generous Fit~ Designed with additional room for layering and ease of movement.
THIS IS A ONE SIZE FITS ALL ITEM:
FABRIC: 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool in our FullWeight Jacquard Fabric
WeatherWool is always MADE IN USA 100%
FEATURES:
- A large Front Pouch that can be entered from both sides, and closed with a button at each side. The bottom three inches or so (7 cm) on each side of the Front Pouch is sewn shut, creating a "gutter" for added security of contents. Within the front pouch, sewn to the main panel of the Poncho, is an elastic organizer strip to hold two items securely
- On either side of the chest placket is a large pocket secured by a zipper. The left-side pocket has a cell-phone sleeve
- Neckline closure buttons
- Button-up sides for adjustable opening
- Large hood with rear cinch for adjustability and 100% wool drawcords
- Signature slot button closures secured with nylon ribbon on armholes, at the pockets, and front center
- Milspec water-resistant thread throughout
- At the bottom of the Poncho, the borders are doubled to improve the drape and balance ... but also ... the Borders are tubular. Lying flat, they are about three inches (7.5 cm). A supporting pole or stick up to about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter can be run inside the borders. This should enable the Poncho to be used as a tarp or lean-to shelter, but we have not tested that yet. Please LMK if you do!
In FullWeight Fabrics, the Poncho weighs 6 pounds, 5 ounces (2.9 kg). MidWeight will weigh about 4.5 pounds (2 kg)
VERSATILITY: The Poncho can be used as a blanket
ANECDOTES: A mounted soldier in Ukraine told me a Poncho can provide tremendous warmth to a rider by capturing heat rising from a horse.
In testing, I was nicely surprised to find I could even mostly keep weather coming from the front off my face by tucking my chin inside the Poncho, pulling down on the side cords, relaxing the rear strap and looking down. Not the most natural way to walk, but better than wind or incoming sleet
NEXT PRODUCTION RUN: We will make Ponchos in 2026, and if you have thoughts or suggestions, please LMK! People asked for a lighter Poncho, so we'll be making Ponchos in all our FullWeight and MidWeight Fabrics ... and maybe even Denim moving forward. -- Ralph

If the timeline isn't a concern and you know you absolutely want this exact item, place a Ship ASAP reservation for the next production. This guarantees you are locked in at the price, but please understand production timelines range anywhere from 1-3 years.
CARE AND CLEANING: Wool’s anti-static properties help make it self-cleaning and odour-resistant, so it should not need frequent washing. It may not even need rare washing. If your wool does not seem dirty, don't feel obligated to clean it ... even if you have not cleaned it for years. More details about spot cleaning and submersion washing can be found on our care and cleaning page.

Our Fabric
Our 100% American, 100% Wool Fabrics, made from 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool, are the foundation of our company. Making our own Fabric is time-consuming, difficult and expensive. But for us, there is no other way.
FAQ
Where is it made?
All of our products are 100% made in the USA using 100% American-made wool and materials. We pay American citizens to make all of our garments. See more.
Is WeatherWool in retail stores?
No, it is only available directly through this Website.
What are your garments designed for?
We set out to make the best All-Purpose outerwear possible and we take that "ALL" part seriously. While some items may be better then others for specific needs we like to think we have the perfect garment for anything you do outside regardless if it is in the serving in military, hunting, camping, city, country, work or worship.
Why is it so expensive?
We never cut a single corner at any step. We make our own fabric, from the best wool in the USA. There are over 45 steps in making our fabric alone. We use the highest quality materials made in the USA. We have owner operated customer service on call to serve you and offer free shipping in USA and Canada as well as hassle free returns.
Is WeatherWool Merino Wool?
Not exactly. Merino is great wool and has been very well marketed over the years but pure merino alone is not actually suitable for us.
We select our wool based on a number of characteristics including micron, strength, length, and comfort factor. With the help of our advisor Bob Padula we have determined the perfect recipe for our goals. Thanks to modern equipment we can test all the wool before we buy it and that wool is primarily coming from Rambouillet and Targhee breeds.
How do you clean WeatherWool
Short answer, you almost never need to. It's self cleaning. We've had garments we've worn for 7 years that have never been cleaned other then some rain.
However, things happen. If a lukewarm bath and dry flat doesn't do the trick, you can try wool-cleaner. Our full cleaning page is here.
Can bugs bite through your fabric?
We have not heard of any that can.
What is your customer service policy?
Our customers will be taken care of.
Full Customer Service policy can be found here.

About us
Founders / Owners
WeatherWool was founded in 2009 by Ralph and Debby DiMeo. Together with their children and a few friends they maintain 100% ownership of the company. Their full story can be read here.
Direct Connection To The Source
We make our own Fabric, starting with raw wool carefully and specifically selected from a small group of ranches in the USA that meet our certification standards. This isn't no stock photo. We're actually out there during shearing sampling wool and sharing stoies and good times with the ranchers and their families.
The Best We Can Figure Out
While most companies decide a price point, and reverse engineer a garment to meet that retail price, WeatherWool does the opposite. We make the best garment we can figure out how to make at every decision we face.Although our garments seem pricey to some our profit margins are below average and you're getting more value for your money and assurance that you're getting some of the best wool in the world.
