Original review: Feel and smell of very old fashioned quality! Highly recommended, I'll be buying a few more." initially fell in love with the look, feel and quality. However, I was shocked when I came back from the gym and noticed a rather large hole in my chest area. I wash mine wool by hand and let dry.Over the past year we have tried to save some money on well known brands by trying a few newer and cheaper non-NZ brands.Big mistake.I still love this shirt but I think so , it might just be the base layer now.
