Questions & Answers

Is it able to contract?

I've washed and dried my three shirts numerous times with no shrinkage. I hung them to dry for the first three or four washes. After that, I dried them on a low setting in the dryer, and I've never had a problem.

Isn't there a way to close the zipper? It isn't depicted in the photographs- What day is September 7?

The top and bottoms I bought did not have zippers. These, on the other hand, were the best buy for warmth without being bulky. I would strongly suggest it.

Why does the collar have a line of spandex? This is also available from Meriwool, but I don't care for it. ?

Don't buy it if this is the case. It's a fantastic sweater, in my opinion. The collar is very well-made and maintains its shape.

This wool top is itchy on my chest, and I've read that soaking it in lanolin or hair conditioner will help; Does anyone have any suggestions for cures?

That is something I have yet to discover. Usually washed in the same machine as other clothes and hung to dry on a clothes rack. Perhaps a quick dry on low heat for a minute at most.

Selected User Reviews For Smartwool Merino 250 Baselayer Crew - Men's

Comfortable, warm, and soft
5/5

I have four of these shirts in various colors. They're fantastic. It's soft and cozy. Because it's slightly fitted, it'll easily fit under a sweatshirt in the winter. It's difficult to put into words how warm it is without getting too hot, and how light it is. I thought they were expensive at first, but they are well worth the money for the quality and how much I wear them, especially in the winter in New England. For size, I am 6 feet tall and weigh 220 pounds, so I wear an XL.

It's a fantastic product that I use whenever I need a little extra warmth
5/5

Order a size up if you want to wear it over your clothes as well as against your skin. If you're only going to wear it as a base layer, go with your normal size; this is a fantastic product.

Why settle for anything less when these are the best base layers I've ever seen? The large looks great over a t-shirt and the medium is a perfect technical base layer for me at 5'10" 190 lbs with a dad bod
5/5

They last a lifetime and do not shrink when washed and dried in the washing machine. I wear the 250s in cold weather (below 30 degrees Fahrenheit) and the 150s in warmer weather (above 30 degrees Fahrenheit).

Wool Layering is fantastic
5/5

I now own three of these (the first was purchased many years ago), and they are among my all-time favorite pieces of clothing. When I go skiing, biking, or doing other outdoor activities in cold weather, I wear it as a base layer, and when it's a little cooler, I wear it alone. They are long-lasting, well-made, and have a wonderful feel to them.

It went above and beyond my expectations
5/5

What a beautiful layout. It's very fashionable. The size is a little big. I have a medium frame with a lot of space between my eyes. And it's still a little sloppy. It appears to be in good condition. The material is extremely gentle. I am going to buy more.

It's nice, but it's a lot of work! I ordered a medium, but it fits me like a large
4/5

Every other medium garment I own is either too big or too small, so these are the only ones that fit. I'm not sure if a small would be more appropriate. Even though it isn't as warm as my Icebreaker 200, I'm content in the long run. a lighter weight It is, however, more comfortable.

They're fantastic! I despise having to take these off to wash them, which the manufacturer claims is not necessary very often
5/5

Anyone would benefit from their services, in my opinion.
