Did your father ever tell you to wear a wool t-shirt under a dress shirt on those few occasions in middle school when you had to wear a suit? Did you think he was insane? Wool was hot, itchy, and thick. Nobody ever wanted to wear a sweater under a button-down. Sheesh.

Our fathers would be ecstatic about the Swobo Merino Origins T. First of all, 100% wool. Second, 100% wool. Third, soft. Fourth, 17.5 microns. 17.5 microns thick? A micron is the millionth part of a meter. We didn't know sheep produced such fine thread? Talk about splitting hairs.

So it's soft, thin, cool, wicking, so it's perfect for an undershirt, but this on has that thing, that vibe, that sensibility. Dr. Buck-Fifty prescribes it as outerwear, not innerwear. The shirt is something to be seen wearing. People will sense that this T isn't cotton, but they won't know why. Then they'll see the chain side-plate on the left sleeve and wonder if it's a cult thing. Standing right in front of you and looking you over, they'll notice the square patch stitched on your right side and the embroidered Swobo. Those in the know will give the subtle cool, dude nod with a sly smile and not say a word. The uninitiated will want an explanation. And the explanation can be as easy as flipping up the top -- if you choose. Making the clueless clueful is the price of wearing this shirt out.

The Swobo Merino Origins T is made from 100% Technical Merino Wool. It's machine washable. The colors are Granite and Oak.
