Pure wool, pure performance, pure ease
MOTHER NATURE, WE SALUTE YOU
Merino wool is a true wonder of the natural world, so much so this T-shirt is a smart as they get with its almost magical properties. Thermoregulating, it’ll cool you down when the heat’s on and keep you warm when the mercury drops. No wonder it’s a firm fixture in high-end running gear.
ITCH-FREE WONDER WOOL
Merino wool is renowned for being soft and supple, and the finer it is, the better it is. We selected a 19.5-micron fibre (that’s 0.0195 millimetres in diameter) to guarantee ultimate comfort and a Merino T that’s itch-free. Each fibre is 4 times thinner than a human hair. So when it comes to softness and comfort, you're in good hands. This exceptional wool is knitted in jersey that’s dense enough to keep its shape over time and minimise any unsightly bobbles.
A star thermal performance
Just about everywhere in the world, Merino sheep have to cope with temperatures ranging from -10°C to +40°C. In other words, their wool has a proven track record when it comes to thermal regulation. It retains heat when it's cold and releases it when it's hot, just like our Merino T-shirt. A wonder material that works twelve months a year.
A T that knows how to take a breather
Another one of the great things about Merino is that it dries really quickly, so whether you’re ambushed by Super Soaker-wielding kids in the park or you get caught in a summer downpour, you won’t stay wet for long.
SO FRESH, SO CLEAN
Merino fabric is anti-bacterial too. In a nutshell, this is because wool quickly wicks away moisture much faster than other materials and limits bacteria’s ability to settle. This is also what repels odours and keeps you feeling fresh even after a long afternoon in the sun struggling to put a gazebo up.
No Making Waves
Thanks to the natural stretch of Merino wool and the flexibility of knitwear, this T-shirt is guaranteed to stay crease-free. And here’s the clincher: you won’t even need to iron it after washing— your jersey knit will fit like a dream every single time.
THE CUP WINNER’S CUP
A straight cut, with sleeves that fall mid-biceps, a well-proportioned collar, and a nice 160 g/m2 weight: that’s how our Merino T-shirt gives you the best fit out there. Whether you’re wearing it in the middle of winter or on a warm spring day, tucked in or not, with or without layers, this T’s always a go.
RELIABLE FINISHES
Wool T-shirts conjure memories of out-of-shape collars. To make sure this doesn't happen to you, we've reinforced ours so it stays put. You'll also find a clean double-stitched hem, and sturdy stitching everywhere else. Hats off to the Portuguese craftsmen at Irmãos Rodrigues for this solid workmanship.
A MERINO MASTERPIECE
You get the picture by now, this T-shirt’s soon to become your indispensable year-round ally. It’s a breathable, antibacterial and thermoregulating fibre; with natural, renewable and biodegradable characteristics; producing a comfortable, soft and odourless T-shirt. And if you'd like to get yours, now's the time.
