Review on Merino Tech Organic Lightweight T Shirt Moisture Outdoor Recreation for Outdoor Clothing by Fred Vazquez

I only paid more for the socks which I end up hating so I say it's an order of four shirts + a pair of bonus socks with each one I wear. They're supportive, comfortable, don't fall off and my work boots don't smell like death at the end of the day (I also have carbon insoles which helps). it said. maybe they should stick to socks. On shirts. I have a dilemma here. I've been wearing the same "uniform" for ten years, but my old merino wool shirt company changed their blend from 100% merino to 78% + some synthetic crap (they claim they last a little longer. Merino wool is thin. Not that their new synthetic blends would be more durable - only cheaper to manufacture, of course). On my most recent order of my former regular brands they are all - oh my god you smell and smell the dirt every other day (I work very physically). without even looking at the label, I know when they switched from 100% merino wool. I could tell from the photos that I didn't like the style of these shirts; and indeed they fit as you would expect a prison uniform to fit, but at that moment I didn't think even a sideways glance from my husband would bother me. Then you put me and my four new shirts in an average desert heat of 115 degrees and OH NO. They're a bit thicker than the 150 t-shirts I usually buy, so I was a bit warmer than usual, and V-necks don't usually feel suffocating, but this one was. Knowing I would be well outside the return window by the time of my return, I took all four scissors, cut off all the sleeves and made four new cuts at different depths for the 110 degree angle. Days against 120 degrees. And maybe even some fish gills on one of the t-shirts for fun. I didn't have a sewing kit in the desert, so it didn't last long. After they wore out, I've spent the last three months in two old, four year old torn 100% merino wool t-shirts from another brand. If only I had all the time in the world and a sewing machine to work with. cheap knock offs (AND BIG LABELS): on neck, sleeves and bottom. This shirt has it; looks cheap from afar. This shirt won't take you from your day job to your nightlife. Many other merino wool t-shirts will do the same. Make tighter/less "sporty"/cheaper edges by folding in half and sewing together for a more feminine edge. This will make a big difference. Aside from the suffocating V-neckline, which I would fix (or bring back) properly if I had the time and resources, my only other major complaint was that the stomach became large and baggy. It's definitely a mislabeled, masculine-cut t-shirt, or its designer has never heard of an hourglass figure—it happens. Given the time and resources, this is usually an easy fix: after I put it on, I ask my husband to pin two vertical lines down my back, starting from my shoulder blades to my hips, carefully remove, turn inside out, and sew You two straight lines on the right. Descent. I'm not a seamstress and if I can do it, ANYONE can. It's almost invisible (with a black shirt) and the shirts fit like they were made to order. (Can't claim to have invented it. I've noticed many tailors in India making tops out of much less forgiving fabric that fit like an absolute dream.) The fabric *will *tear* in no time. So have your sewing kit ready. One of my four had a small hole in it when I opened the box. One made a small hole after a day of gardening. It's a 5 minute sting, but those are watchers and shouldn't last long (especially at this price point). If you don't feel like fixing, go back to cotton or buy a 250 weight and see how it suits you. ;) Mainly because of the very bad fit, this won't be the last brand I choose for my uniform. I order 4 shirts of each brand to try on and when I find the right one I order 200 and vacuum seal them until I need them.
