Here’s a tip for happy dressing…
You can wear wool for MANY days in a row without it stinking.
Really. It’s miracle stuff.
My cotton t-shirts and polypro can’t be worn twice: they stink up immediately. I’m sweaty and will tend toward a strong smell. (Inhale deeply!)
Well, I’m giving my new green wool t-shirt from Rivendell (pictured) a bold and dangerous test: I’ve been wearing it almost daily for 3 weeks of ski workouts and office-wear. No stink yet! Even ladies who I’m not married to declare it still fine via startling sniff tests.
Any way you cut it, this is weird fabric. Critters don’t get colds—is it because their fur/wool is antibiotic? Something is going on here!
Wool underwear also helps you avoid chills—it feels great even when damp, and keeps the body nice all around. It simply has a warm and dry feel.
What’s more, the insider dudes tell me it’s cool in summer. Well, this anti-stink property is so amazing I’m inclined to believe em about the cool in summer angle.
Extra-fine wool isn’t itchy for most people. (Fine wool doesn’t usually itch guys, extra-fine works for gals.) Merino is probably the way to go.
Wool is pricey but probably lasts a long time. (Follow care info. Wash cool. Hang dry.) The Riv tshirt I bought costs $25 or so.
