Merino wool t-shirts at Costco
I had looked into wool t-shirts after reading an earlier thread about socks, and I stumbled across merino wool long-sleeve t-shirts at Costco yesterday. I took one home, tried it on, and it feels great. If you're interested, you'd probably better strike fast - it didn't look like there were a lot of them in my store.

I’m so on it. Thanks for the heads up.

Is the sizing accurate, or are they running small or large?

The medium seems true to size, but the sleeves are a little long on me.

If only our Costco wasn’t 50 miles away...

Are these men's shirts? Brand, price, SKU?
SKU helps a lot, b/c you can have a Costco employee look up if it's in stock at his store or other nearby stores.

I bought a few a year or two ago and they're tough to beat for the price. They're comfortable and have held up. I'm usually between sizes and sized up to counter any shrinkage.

Our Costco does not have them yet. The lady there told me that when they begin to sell these items are climate dependent.

Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.

My local Costco doesn't have them.

If these are similar to the ones MidwayUSA sold last winter, they are a spectacular deal.

Are these 100% wool? Or a wool blend?

I was wondering the same thing.

Most wool shirts are not 100% wool but some blend. Nylon adds strength and durability from what I have heard.

My wife said if they are "Machine wash cold, tumble dry low." then they must be a blend.


Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

The tag on the shirt says 100% wool.

Previous year model says 100% merino.
