Fabric Story

Lightweight and beautiful merino for all day everyday use. 16.5 micron top capped merino fibers from Australia are wrapped around a thin nylon core to create a super soft but robust yarn that is 87% merino and just 13% nylon. If you love the pure merino feeling of our Ultrafine Merino T-Shirts, this stuff feels extremely similar only lighter, clocking in at just 145gsm.

We've been calling merino "nature's finest performance fabric" for so long other brands have started copying us verbatim. It's all good though, because it's not a tag line it is a statement of fact, especially when talking about the superfine and superwashed type of merino we like to use. Merino has an incredibly dry hand feel because its surface repels water while it simultaneously pulls moisture into its core, creating a dry body climate. This cools you in the heat and insulates you in the cool, allowing you to wear it further and farther in comfort.

In addition, it is naturally bacteriostatic creating a cleaner fabric that resists odor, allowing for longer use times. We could go on too, it's UV resistant, naturally springy, and phase changes at just above body temperature for extra cooling effects. But ultimately the real way to know the beauty of fine merino is to wear it. It is also a tight spectrum blend, meaning that there is a very low variance of fiber thickness allowed in the mix. This creates a more stable and predictable fabric with an exceptional hand feel.

All the merino used in the Daybreak is certified Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) from Australia and is top capped at 16.5 micron. RWS is a high level standard that combines animal welfare and progressive land management. It is all mulesing-free of course, but also a whole lot more. Great merino wool needs to come from healthy sheep and that means both taking care of the animals and taking care of the land that they graze on.
