It's still classed as a kind of wool, much like sheep's wool, alpaca and merino, but its fibres are beyond compare in terms of strength, softness and sheer luxury.

We’ve worn ours for a few years, and they feel practically new. It’s also important to look at length and seams. You don’t want to gap at the waist. Nor is it ideal to have too-short sleeves or pants.

You’ll find 100% merino wool in this best choice, and that’s just because it works so dang well.
