New this season is the knit shirt: a shirt made of 100% ultra-fine knitted merino wool. With the emphasis on ‘ultra-fine’, because that is what makes this knitted fabric so wonderfully soft. And because it is merino – one of the best qualities wool – it does not itch either. Whereas standard merino wool has a fibre thickness of around 20 microns, these shirts are made of a superfine merino with a thickness of only 17,5 microns. What that translates to? An extremely supple fabric that effortlessly shapes itself to your body and therefore fits like a sleeve. And the icing on the cake: this merino wool is machine washable!
