I've been down the path of buying all-wool clothing, and I've decided for most clothing it isn't optimal. However, I suspect using primarily merino with a small amount of strong synthetic like nylon, plus a little spandex, could offer a true best-of-both-worlds material. Odor-resistant, breathable and temperature-regulating, durable and washable, etc.

I'm looking for t shirts, joggers and workout clothes, underwear, socks, pretty much anything.

Have you found anything like this?

That’s the powder one and definitely worth it, been using it for years and it is the best hoodie ever. Granted I would wait until it’s 25% off… lol it’s really the only hoodie I wear but I have a lightweight one for them I wear occasionally

Brighton Base Layer and Harrier Long sleeve by tracksmith are what you seek as far as shirts go.

That's pretty much how much wool hoodies like this cost. Even if you look at Smartwool and Icebreaker.

Mons Royale clothing. Mostly all a merino blend

Its common for wool shirts to be blended with around 15% nylon. I think its for durability and cost. The more expensive brands (Pendleton ,etc) are 100% wool and are still preferable IMO.

I think it's probably for stretch and to prevent felting (fulling). You will find this most notably in socks. 100% wool doesn't actually stretch and will felt (aka full) very easily. Adding a bit of nylon gives it that spring without having to do some strange weave to the fabric.

I like the REI in-house brand wool stuff, and you can get past season colors on sale if that’s your thing.

I LOVE woolys underwear (they fit loose) love the thongs and cheeky. They have deals on the website for like a 3 pair discount and also many many coupon codes in general.

I also love Darn Tough socks and have a bunch of adorable animal pairs!
