A singular fiber of Merino wool from merino sheep is about a third of the thickness of a strand of human hair, and even finer than cashmere. This super-soft, super-plush fabric feels like you’re giving your skin a gift when you wear it, it’s that luxurious. Merino wool even has antimicrobial properties so it fights odors that your shirt may pick up throughout the day.
Merino fibers are special if you haven’t gathered that already. Flocks of the merino breed of sheep peaked in the 18th century, and this wool remains popular. They have properties that most normal cotton, polyester, and regular wool garments cannot achieve, such as hydrophilic and odor resistant properties that wick away sweat and absorb moisture vapor quickly. You’re also helping the environment when using Merino wool because it decomposes in a matter of six months, while most synthetic fabrics take years.
You wouldn’t believe all of the benefits that come from really paying attention to what material your clothing is. Here at Western Rise, we offer this gorgeous material and other high-quality clothing for men that truly do the work for you. Long gone are the days where you had to worry if your fave t-shirt smells weird from wearing too much. Let us introduce you to Merino wool.

No More Wet T-Shirts
The most amazing aspect of Merino wool is that it is moisture-wicking. It’s amazing because the fibers being so small is what allows them to fight off sweat and other moisture. Since the fibers are thin, they absorb less moisture overall and do not weigh you down once water impacts.
Instead, you will still feel the light, airy fabric that is Merino wool. Having such thin microfibers pays off in many ways, but the absence of moisture is one of the biggest. Moisture is absorbed from the skin, dispersed, and then dries quickly.
Another benefit to these small, tiny wool fibers used is that they are so thin that they are able to contour to your body. Merino wool will cling in all of the right places and give you room where you need it. These factors all combine to make the most luxurious clothing experience money can buy.
