Benefits of Merino Wool
I love this shirt. It is not picky or hot.
It has nice length to the body of the shirt so it does not ride up when you bend over.
A great quality product worth the price.

I fall between a small and medium and if you’re in a similar boat between sizes, I’d go with your larger size for a snug, fitted base layer. But if you prefer a looser, more relaxed look, don’t be afraid to go up even further. I typically wear a vest over mine, which makes the medium work perfectly for that layered look in the meantime — but I’m already eyeing the large for when it’s back in stock.
The real win is temperature regulation. I tend to run cold but overheat easily when active — and this shirt handles both ends beautifully. When I slow down it keeps me comfortable, and when work picks up and I’m pushing, squatting, and lifting, it keeps me comfortable too. It’s substantial enough to feel like a proper layer without trapping heat, and the merino does exactly what it promises: I stay fresh for 2–3 wears between washes without any issues.
A few other things I really appreciated: it’s completely opaque — no thinking twice about what you’re wearing underneath — and the length is genuinely flattering. Not cropped, not weirdly long. It just sits right.
The fabric has a lovely natural stretch that helps it hold its shape without bagging out over time. I’ve had zero issues with pilling or shrinkage, which I credit partly to treating it right: I use Nikwax wool wash, do wool-only loads, and never put it in the dryer. If you’re investing in merino, it’s worth the small extra care.
I got mine in black, which looks polished and substantial — not thin or cheap.
I came to merino because I was done with synthetic fabrics that trap heat and hold odor. This is everything I wanted.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thorough and helpful review for our Lightweight Women's T-Shirt Crew Top. We are thrilled to hear that you have found your perfect work shirt with our product.

I have not purchased 100% Merino wool previously. The shirt is soft and appears to be well constructed. Unfortunately, it is SIZED VERY SMALL. I wear a woman's size 12 and ordered a large shirt. It is very tight. It would be fine for a base layer, but not for an only layer. I wanted to be able to wear it as my only layer during travel to different climates. I will be returning as they do not have any larger sizes currently available in either available color.
Everything on the website sounded great (Wool source: Australia. Imported.) VERY MISLEADING! As soon as I got my products in the mail, not only was every single item in its’s own stupid plastic bag, but Made in China was written all over everything!! Very, very disappointed.
Workout shirt that stays put and takes the heat! Perfect for hard workout on the treadmill or in the garden!
By far my new favorite go to tee! Perfect fit (most tees now seem to have so much extra material…but not this one!) The sleeve cut is very flattering, the material is warm and soft!! I purchased it as a base layer under sweatshirts but it looks great alone!
This shirt is awesome! It's very soft, fits well, and stays clean for days!
I wore this shirt for three days without washing. The only reason I ended up cleaning it was because I cuddled with my dog and he left A LOT of hair behind.

I've been wearing these for a number of years and they really are perfect year round. Under a sun shirt when I'm hiking in the summer they keep me smelling fresh and in the winter they make a great base layer to keep me warm.
Love the material and feel of the shirt. The size (M) was perfect except, the neck is too tight. I can only tolerate it for so long. Please make the crew neck a little larger.
Susanna,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our 100 % Merino Wool Lightweight Appalachia Women's Short Sleeve Crew. We are delighted to hear that you love the material and feel of the shirt. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the tightness of the neck. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we will definitely take it into consideration for future improvements. We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the shirt. Thank you for choosing our product.
Sincerely,
Steven D
I bought 4 of these in 2019, and I have worn them regularly ever since which is more than 2 years. I wear them around the house in summer or wear them hiking. They wick moisture like they are supposed to. No itch either, It's true.
I just wash them with my wool pile and hang on my dry rack to dry. The wrinkles come out for the most part. We live in Arizona. So, even though they are wool, they don't feel hot.
I will order more. Not a baggy tshirt, not tight but follows body. Very comfortable. A great wool spring/summer/fall base layer that breathes and looks nice when you remove jackets or sweaters.
Bought an X-large fit is nice. I have broad shoulders and chest, so I carry most of my weight in upper body.
Love this top. It’s high quality fine merino, nicely finished seams, soft against your skin. Keeps you warm and dry. I’m 5’ 3” and the length on me was perfect, covers butt and front so I can wear it with leggings. I’m 150lbs and the large fit great, fitted but not too tight. Highly recommend this brand.
Minus 33 was recommended to me. I was very happy with the two base layers. The were very comfortable and worked well on my morning walks. However, at the first wash of one, it snagged and developed a hole. I tried calling but was refered to the website for returns. It has been returned and a replacement is on its way. I live in the north of Fanconia notch and look forward to making a trip to your store. Thanks for asking.
Jane,

We look forward to welcoming you to our store in Franconia notch and hope you continue to enjoy our products. Thank you for choosing our brand.

I got this in the gray and found it to be very nice weight, softness and quality and fit. So, I ordered one in black. Same features as the gray but the black one is a bit smaller and a bit too snug at my current weight. Not sure if this is just a fluke.
Good morning!
Every so often a piece just doesn't fit like it should. We are happy to get you an exchange for another one to help with the fit! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and still leaving us 5 stars!

I love these shirts. I’ve used them for layering in European winter weather and by themselves in a warmer northwest fall. They have a flattering fit. I just need more colors.
Denise,
We're happy to hear that you like our shirts and that they fit well. We hope you'll continue to find our products useful and that we can help you find the perfect shirt for your needs. Thanks for the feedback! We will pass your suggestion along to our product development team.

I love the benefits of merino. These light weight shirts are nice. One of our shirts developed a tear under the arm, and the company replaced it immediately. I travel internationally each month and carry the men’s boxers and shirts with me every time. Great products.
Hello LRayiii!
Thank you for taking the time to reach out. The 100% Merino Wool Appalachia Women's S/S Crew - Lightweight is a great piece! Give us a call anytime, we love hearing from our customers!
-Katie P.
I was reluctant to buy wool short sleeve shirts for an upcoming hiking trip--but they could be a new go-to. They are soft, not at all itchy as I'd feared and to have wool that can be washed AND dried--game-changer for me. Hoping for more colors to choose from in the future. The fit is true & comfortable.
I love the woman’s fit and cap sleeve. The fabric is so soft you would never guess it is wool. Great under my heavier weight woolies!
Kim,
Thank you for the great review!
-Melinda W.
This was given to me as a gift, liked it so much, bought another one!
Chrissy, thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we're so glad you're loving it! -Felicia W.
High quality, with a good fit. I just wish the neckline scooped a little lower for summer wear. I love that it is 100% Merino: the softness is a standout feature, and is fully recyclable at the end of its life because it contains no nylon.
Ruth, we're so happy to hear that your loving your shirt! We've forwarded your comments along to our product development team. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! -Felicia W.
Finally, a 100% merino wool top for women that is long enough to cover my belly! It is not nearly so long on me as it is on the models, but it does come a couple of inches below my hip bones (I'm 5'10"). The material is thick enough that my bra doesn't show through. This top is light enough to wear on summer days and I think it'll be great for layering this winter. This washes easily and dries fast. My only wish is that they had this with a v or scoop neckline. I'm not fond of crew necklines.
If you are looking for a V-neck we do have a micro weight Woolverino blend T-shirt. That shirt is 84% Merino Wool, 12% Nylon & 4% Spandex. This top is so comfortable & cool in the summer and great for layering in the winter. Thank you for your review.
