Fabric Story

This is the good stuff, a subtle yet powerful reformulation of one of our absolute core fabrics, a top-capped, tight spectrum,17.5 micron merino jersey that we use to make near perfect t-shirts. Knit especially for us by Global Merino using their ultra pure Mackenzie blend standard that creates a finer and more precisely calibrated merino of unsurpassed quality.

Top Capped & Tight Spectrum

Merino is measured in microns the smaller the number the finer the fiber and the softer the hand feel (and higher the price). But until now this number was actually an average, a mixture of different micron fibers that averaged out to the reported value, meaning half the fibers actually are thicker than the rating. Global Merino’s Mackenzie Blend is top capped, so the number indicates not the average but the absolute maximum thickness that can be included in the blend. 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.

AsureQuality Traceable

All the merino used in these t-shirts is fully audited and certified by AsureQuality to ensure a pristine supply chain. The fibers can be traced back to the farm (the majority of which are currently in the Mackenzie Basin of New Zealand, hence the fabric name). Global Merino is in direct contact with the growers and only non-mulesed fleece wool is used to create a yarn that’s better for everyone from sheep too farmer, from spinner to knitter and from us to you.

Nature’s Finest Performance Fabric

We’ve been calling merino “nature’s finest performance fabric” for so long that 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 incredible dry hand feel because it’s surface repels water while it simultaneously pull 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.

200 gsm 100% Pure Merino

This is the raw, uncut good shit, precisely calibrated to make the best possible t-shirt. The 2-ply, 17.5 micron merino yarns are incredibly soft but at 200 grams per square meter the fabric is durable enough to wear every day. The fabric is a substantive mid weight for a t-shirt, wearable in the widest range of common temperatures. But it's also the lightest weight we are willing to use for a 100% merino knit, as it needs the weight and structure to drape properly. All this nets out to a near perfect t-shirt fabric that many of us wear almost every day of our lives.
