Maybe a bit of military experience might apply:

Fort Leonard Wood is raw, damp cold in January. The army issued wool long underwear. It was a pain, and one guy was truly allergic. (After they figured that out they discharged him.) The rest of us had to put up with the itchy, scratchy stuff - for awhile.

After a few days, we got caught up on our scratching and didn't notice it any more. If Staticsan is not allergic, he may find it doesn't bother after a few wearings.
