My old Merino wool shirts both have a hole now. They were the cheapest Amazon ones I found and sold even cheaper because the label was wrong. I want to buy new ones, but I need suggestions before buying a shirt for 70€ on the internet. I want a loose fit and black colour. Any suggestions for high-quality shirts? I’m in Germany.
Unfortunately, in my experience, 100% wool doesn’t last nearly as long as wool blends when it comes to durability. No matter how hard I try, I get small holes and tears within a few months. I’ve had the best experiences with 80% wool blends.
For merino performance fabrics at least. Look at a microscope picture of merino next to another wool, and you will understand why it’s so soft but why it doesn’t last as long. It doesn’t help that merino t-shirts are really thin usually.
