CRs:
I bought a new pair of wool cycling tights from Kucharik about two weeks ago. I've been very happy with my purchase, and the tights have kept me comfortable in the recent cold weather that we've had here in Southern California (31 degrees F at night, and 53 during the day). I've ridden them and washed them several times.
When I purchased them, John Kucharik Jr. had his seamstress sew in my choice of seat pads while I waited. I can't guarantee that kind of service all the time, but it was just what I needed, when I needed it!
Here's the "all wool" web page of Kucharik:

As far as cleaning the new wool tights, I've been using the new Rivendell Kookaburra Wool wash soap. It is very nice, and a little bit goes a long way. The stuff works well and is a good value.
Here's the soap link:

I have no business or personal relation to either seller.
