Key benefits include: 

High density spinning. FORMAL FRIDAY® manufacturing process ensures atypical strength to comfort ratio. Ultrafine fibre is spun into a 1/060NM yarn with latest textile engineering technology for a anti-pill surface.

Thermal control. In contrast to synthetics, merino wool is an active fibre that reacts to changes in the body temperature helping you stay warm in cold climate, and cool in hot weather.

Soft touch. Ultrafine 17.50 micron fibre is extremely fine, enabling it to bend far more than coarser wool. This property makes the ultrafine merino wool t-shirt feel soft and luxuriously gentle next to your skin.

Moisture wicking. Merino absorbs water molecules and pulls moisture away from the skin, into the merino fiber itself, it can evaporate from there without the fabric feeling wet or clammy.

Quick dry. Ultrafine merino wool fabric dries almost as quickly as quick-dry synthetics and a lot quicker than cotton. After a sweaty activity or washing, the product is ready to be used in no time.

Anti-bacterial. Due to the complex structure of merino it is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. The fabric inhibits the growth of micro organisms making the t-shirt odor resistant, which means far less washing.

Low impact. FORMAL FRIDAY® Merino wool range is 100% natural and 100% biodegradable. Our production process involves minimal use of strong chemicals, such as chlorine, making it safe for the user and the planet.

Easy care. At microscopic level, each ultrafine wool fibre is like a coiled spring that returns to its natural shape after being bent. This gives the garment a natural resistance to wrinkles, and saves you time from ironing.

Travel friendly. Merino has a natural protective layer that helps prevent stains from being absorbed. That in addition to anti-bacterial properties makes it perfect for minimalist life and travel.

Breathable. Merino wool is one of the most breathable fibres in the world. Ultrafine merino fibres absorb large quantities of moisture vapour then move it away to evaporate into the air.

Sizing

Product size table in centimetres measured flat on a table. Compare these measurements to a t-shirt you already have to define your correct size.

Depending on the washing program, the product might shrink up to one full size during the first wash. Shrinking is normal phenomenom for 100% merino wool products. We have decided to use minimal amount of resins and strong chemicals such as chlorine which change the physical and chemical structure of the wool fibre. These processes, while eliminating part of the shrinking, are not only hazardous for the environment and for the user, but also makes the product weaker. With this production related decision, we can offer you as natural and safe product as possible.

In case you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Refer to care instructions attached in the garment before first wash.
