Quince’s Merino Wool Tee Doesn’t Cost a Fortune

Wired ·

Quince’s All-Season T-shirt offers a relatively affordable way to buy a merino wool base layer, costing $42. The reviewer says its soft, extra-fine wool and relaxed fit make it comfortable in warm weather as well as useful across a range of temperatures.

The shirt is made from 100 per cent extra-fine merino wool in a 165-gsm weave, and the reviewer reports that theirs remains in good condition after two years. Quince offers free shipping and returns for 365 days, though the reviewer has not used those services. Care instructions recommend washing in cold water and drying flat; tumble-drying can shrink the shirt and shorten its lifespan.

In short

  • Quince’s merino T-shirt costs $42.
  • The reviewer says it is comfortable in warm weather.
  • Cold washing and flat drying help prevent shrinkage and wear.

Explained simply

Merino is a fine type of wool used in clothing worn next to the skin. Unlike heavier wool garments, a lightweight merino T-shirt can be worn in warm weather and layered under other clothes when it is colder.

Quince is a clothing retailer that sells the shirt for $42, placing it at a lower price than many specialist merino base layers. Its care label recommends a cold wash and flat drying, as heat from a tumble dryer can shrink wool.
