Women Shirt wool is an eco-friendly, long-lasting fabric that’s perfect for layering in cold weather. It keeps you warm, odor-resistant, and comfortable without clinging to your skin (which can lead to itchy, scratchy, itchy skin).
The fibers in wool are finer than other fibers, so they allow tiny air pockets to trap your body heat when it’s cool and release the excess moisture when it’s hot. This helps keep you feeling comfortable while you’re active.
These natural fibers also make merino shirts feel incredibly soft on your skin. We love the Falke Silk-Wool tee as it’s made with a luxurious blend of 70% merino wool and 30% silk for a soft, breathable, lightweight, thermally-enhancing shirt that’s comfortable in both hot and cold temperatures.
It’s a great choice for any activity where you need to stay warm, including hiking, camping, and skiing. The merino wool helps keep you warm in the coldest conditions and works to pull moisture away from your skin, helping you to stay dry.
Odor-Resistant and Antibacterial
When bacteria on your skin break down sweat into a foul smelling gas, it can leave you feeling bad and stinky. However, the odor-resistant and antibacterial properties of wool help to prevent odour from developing on the surface of your shirt by pulling sweat away from your skin, evaporating it into the air and preventing the growth of bacteria.
You don’t have to wash your wool shirts as often as cotton tees because wool is naturally odor resistant and antibacterial, so you can wear them for up to 30 days before washing them. We recommend using a gentle, natural fiber safe detergent like Unicorn Fibre Wash or Unicorn Beyond Clean, or LANACare Natural Wool Soap to maintain the odour-resistant and antibacterial qualities of your shirts.
If you’re unsure which washing method is right for your clothes, always check the care label and follow its instructions closely. We do not recommend wringing out or tumble drying your garments because this can cause piling, which makes the fibers in your shirts more porous and increases their natural absorbency and wicking ability.
In general, we recommend washing your merino wool long sleeve merino wool shirt in cool water on a delicate or handwash cycle. If you do choose to wash them in a machine, use a wool-friendly detergent and a low spin speed.
A gentle wool wash will help remove odour-causing residue and keep your merino shirts looking and feeling their best. For added silkiness and softness, add a natural fiber-safe fabric conditioner to the laundry.
Our Wool Shirts are available in both men’s and ladies’ sizes. If you’re not sure which size is best for you, we suggest sizing up from your usual shirt size. The shirt will fit looser than a traditional cotton t-shirt.
As with all clothing, a good quality merino t-shirt is a versatile base layer that can be worn on its own or in combination with other layers. It’s also a great travel fabric because it won’t wrinkle or fade over time, making it easy to pack into your suitcase and take on your next adventure!
