When we set out to build a shirt as dynamic as your daily life, we knew we had to start with the fabric. Superfine Merino wool is quite simply the best natural performance fiber available. So, we partnered with the The Woolmark Company, utilizing the latest technology to build the ultimate performance Merino wool blend shirt fabric. Our unique knit fabric blends 53% Australian Merino wool and 47% polyester to create a fabric that is soft, machine washable, odor and wrinkle resistant, temperature regulating, and moves with your body. The ultimate performance fabric for any activity.

The performance of the Merino wool comes from the fleece of the Merino sheep. The wool fiber adapts to perform and keep the sheep both comfortable and protected from the elements over a wide range of temperatures, from 5 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The fiber's unique crimped structure insulates in winter and breathes in summer, allowing the sheep to comfortably live in extreme weather variations while protecting them from the elements. Additionally, the unique chemical structure of the wool fiber enables it to absorb and lock away odors. We specifically used Merino wool because it is the finest of the wool varieties, making it exceptionally soft and lightweight.

 This special fiber is blended with polyester and constructed into a unique engineered knit fabric to enhance its performance and give you ultimate range of movement and style. The engineered knit creates a honeycomb structure, which provides a nice texture to the fabric while lifting it off the skin, further enhancing the temperature regulation of the wool. Its construction provides extensive 4-way stretch to move with your body.
