I tried this shirt as a wool alternative to those cotton undershirts and absolutely love it. I was used to Alpaca wool and washed it before wearing as it’s not itchy after a couple washes. You can wear this several days without washing if you hang it up between uses. I love it so much that I got the long sleeve version for winter. A medium fit true to size for both.
I’m an alpaca fan and it’s incredible difficult to find quality alpaca clothing now that the fiber is having its moment. This shirt has a beautiful texture, is soft and lightweight while somehow also substantial enough to not be sheer in this light color. I’d happily own the same item in several colors if available, as well as a long-sleeved version.
I love the concept of 100% alpaca as I'm a very big alpaca fiber fan, but this shirt is very itchy. Although I really liked the athletic fit when I first tried the shirt on the shirt, the fit and neck have loosened/stretched out after a couple weeks of use. The neck is almost like a v-neck because it's now so loose and big.
Very itchy after the 1st washing, I cannot wear it.
