New Zealand Superfine Merino
Over the past 25 years this Superfine Merino fabric has been responsible for totally redefining the woollen garment industry. Using state of the art yarn spinning technology from the German owned Suedwolle Company this 18.5 micron merino fabric was the true starting point of turning heavy, coarse woollen clothing into soft, light, non-scratch, non-itch garments. It reintroduced wool as a versatile and friendly to wear, next-to-skin fabric.
As a natural fibre Superfine Merino has two very real performance benefits. It can control the level of moisture within each fibre to keep you warm in cold temperatures and cool in hot temperatures. It can also absorb and disguise body odour allowing garments to be worn continually for days without laundering.
The construction of our 200 gram/m², single jersey, 18.5 micron Superfine Merino has remained unchanged for the past 25 years. The fabric is renowned for its stability. Even with constant machine washing and wear our Superfine garments will not lose shape, shrink or pill. Soft as your favourite cotton T-shirts, this fabric has the strength and durability to outlive all other 100% merino base-layer constructions.
Superfine Merino is an ideal next-to-skin fabric for travel or for anyone wanting the all-day comfort and warmth of a natural fibre

The best t-shirt in the business. Super comfortable, breathable in warm weather and insulating in cold conditions, it is a rockstar performer whatever you may have planned. It’s also remarkably long-lasting. I bought mine in Auckland in 2014 and eight years later it’s still in great shape and my go-to shirt when I’m heading out on the trail or even for a long day at work. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
