Why wear Merino wool?

Why wear Merino wool?

HNDSM Merino is super soft and comfortable with a classic fit. Our t-shirts are very durable and will last years. They are odor resistant which means you wear them more and wash them less. They are thermoregulating so you can wear them all year round. Both these attributes make the t-shirt great for every day wear for both work and play.
