Men's V-Neck T-Shirt, RWS Certified Pure Merino, Designed in Seattle

Shirts excluding the collar tears: 5 star.Shirts including torn collar: 4 stars (quite an expensive undershirt).Woolly's customer service: 1 star.So these probably would've gotten 4 stars until I had a customer service issue. I sent an email to Woolly noting that all three shirts I'd purchased had developed a tear at the front of the neck. They requested pictures, which I provided. Several days later, they told me that the torn seam (which it wasn't, it was the fabric near the seam) was a result of me taking the shirts off by pulling up the collar rather than lifting from the bottom to protect the "delicate seam" (they actually said these words). To be clear, in my email to them, I merely asked whether this defect had been fixed through pattern changes before I bought more shirts. Now, due to their customer service snafu, I probably won't. It's quite sad, actually, because other than the torn collar, the shirts are excellent.

If I recall correctly, I ordered these v-neck sleeves the third time already, intending to stock up my Woolly shirts and thus replacing all my regular t-shirts. There is not much to say about the benefits of wearing Merino wool fabrics, the shirts are actually amazing and hold true to their promises. I have worn these shirts during all seasons now, keeping me chilled in the summer and warm in the winter. Black color is not fading, even after many washing cycles. Merino wool is sensitive to heat - using the dryer after washing them is ok but extra care is recommended (shirts dry much faster than the average clothes!). These shirts have become my day-to-day basic wear, regardless of occasion (office, weekends).The cut is slightly athletic fit - which is just perfect in my case: I'm wearing size M & L, while being 6.3ft and 202 lb.Why only 2 stars after all the rave? The last order was placed for 2 of the shirts. Wearing them for a few months only (in rotation with my other Woolly shirts), the last 2 shirts appear to be made of different quality: BOTH of the shirts are torn at the tip of the V at the V-neck shape. :( This hasn't happen to my other Woolly shirts before.Not sure if I would buy again.

I ordered two Woolly shirts and two Woolly boxers in June.This t-shirt feels great when it's hot or cold, fit is amazing (two stars) - however it has already developed a small hole in the under-arm. It has only been washed twice, on gentle cycle, in a washing bag.Had a similar problem with Woolly boxers - one of them developed a hole after first day of wearing. Luckily I was able to replace that pair.So the strike rate for faulty Woolly products is 50% - this is way too high for such expensive gear.

I've tried several merino T-shirts from other vendors, and these are the best by a large margin. The 190 weight is perfect. Not so heavy as to be hot, but not flimsy (and easily tearable) like both the competition and the Wooly's own 150-weight "ultralight, which tears just from sitting if your belt buckle is touching it. Can get several days of wear without smelling. Easily washes in a hotel sink and (provided that you wrap it in a towel and stomp on it to get out the excess water) dries overnight. I originally bought these just for travel, but have now bought several more for everyday use. I did have a seam unravel on one of them after almost a year of use, but Woolly replaced it with no fuss.

I am a 5’5”,140 lbs, small-framed guy and got a size small. I’d say the fit is a relaxed fit, but true to size. The color ‘linen’ is sheer as some people have mentioned. But if you can look past that, everything else about it is as advertised. Wicks away odor and sweat, dries fast, feels cool in warm weather and warm in cool weather. It does feel itchy at times and emits that wool smell as does everything made from wool. Over all, a great shirt for those wanting to try out merino wool shirts.PS: I also bought the round-neck version and am equally happy. Based on those two products, I’d say quality control is good.PPS: I’d follow the care instructions for this shirt since it is made of merino wool and not your run-of-the-mill cotton to maintain the quality. I feel merino wool can be delicate if not properly cared for.UPDATE (1 year later): The shirt has been retired after about a year of use. Odor resistance seemed to have disappeared and the shirt seemed to be getting thinner, though no hole ever appeared.I changed my rating to 2 stars because, while it didn’t last very long, Woolly provides merino wool products to those who can’t afford the more expensive merino wool brands.That being said, it might be more economical if you buy a product that lasts you longer, especially if you plan on minimizing your wardrobe, which was something I did.

I have worn this on and off for a couple of months now without washing it, and it still smells fresh and clean after airing it out. I did give it a wash early on, though, since the dye was rubbing off, so I'd suggest a wash or two right off, but other than that, it really seems like you only need to clean it when you spill food on it or otherwise dirty it up. As for temperature regulation, I will say that it's not quite as cooling as I would like, but it does prevent extremes, and totally eliminates that "sticky" feeling when you sweat or it's humid out. It's a bit more fitted than I normally like, so you might want to consider sizing up if you're close. A product really needs to be amazing to get a 5-star review from me, and this one qualifies, but I had to knock a star off for the black color, as the fabric attracts lint and pet hair like a magnet, and it's very visible on the black. I have this shirt in grey, and it's not nearly as noticeable.

I really like this Woolly Clothing Co merino wool top - so ordered another.

nice fit but bit prices

It's a too big for me but with consistent wash and wear, it will eventually shrink. The wool is substantial and soft. Excellent for a base layer without all them polyester giving me rashes. Well maybe except the stitching but that's life.

I tried it to wear seven days (not in a row) without washing, one day full day at work and then 2 hour flight, 2 hour bus ride and one hour walking. Three days after the same thing. And then a couple of night train rides (approx. 8 hours). And it didnt stink. Of course it needed a wash, but it was still pleasant to wear.The comfort is great and the fabric is so fine. But watch out for holes which can develop around belt area. Thats the tax you pay for such a fine fabric.

Very nice,soft
