Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up.
I was lurking earlier today, and found this thread which has helped a great deal.
I'm just starting out on this Bushcraft/camping lark, and needed some basics to get me going, so went to Aldi's and bought:
Walking Boots @ £17.99 (seem perfectly adequate, especially for the price!)
Socks @ £2.49 (Very comfy)
Base Layer Top @ £3.99 (Light and comfy)
Merino Midlayer @ £8.99 (Snug and warm, though 50% acrylic as Wayland mentioned)
and Gaiters @£2.99 (These seem OK, if a bit "cheap")
You'll have to take my comments on these products with a pinch of salt, as I'm very much a novice, so someone more experienced may find fault with them,
Having said that, thirty six odd quid for all that kit, for someone starting out, seems a bargain to me.
Many thanks for helping me get started!
