>outer layer
This is the hardest to escape from. I think it matters the least because it's least likely to touch your skin but if I had to choose something I'd want to stay away from cotton not just because cotton kills but it's almost always too bulky. I'd probably get a swanndri and bathe that shit in lanolin to make it as water resistant as possible but still breathable. I know the inner shirt in those is 50 poly but you can just cut it out. The original swannis were one size fits all 3/4 length sleeve shirts that he just boiled the shit out of and then coated with lanolin. Even if they are Chinese sewn now the fabric is still made in new zealand where the weather is chaotic there.
>polyester vs wool
I still think when you compare the two that polyester is often cheaper, lighter, more durable, so ultimately more efficient. I do believe wool breathes a bit better so has a wider range of comfortable temperatures. You can get around this with stuff like pit zips or just shedding a layer. But I'd say even wool producers in sheep heavy countries like new zealand and Australia have migrated to fleece. Albeit ironically new zealands fleece alternative to swanndri called swazi doesn't use pit zips so it fails the breathe test.
>plastic free wool
Only way to tell is if the washing instructions say dry clean or hand wash cold only no dryer. Only exception to this rule would be felted wool as it was already a fabric thrown in high heat to shrink it. But I'd say even a swanndri can shrink at least 10%
