THE OPTIMAL TEE-SHIRT
The PROBLEM
Truly great T-shirts are hard to find. Most cotton options wrinkle easily, lose their shape after a few washes, and rarely hold up under pressure, especially when traveling.
By the time you unpack, your tee looks like you slept in it.
It’s time for an upgrade: a breathable, wrinkle-resistant material that performs well while being comfortable: Wool.
The PICK
Unbound Merino makes the kind of T-shirts you’ll want to live in. Their slim-cut wool tees and sleeveless staples are lightweight, breathable, and designed to move seamlessly between outfits and climates.
Dress them up under a blazer or down with jeans—they work either way. What sets them apart? You can wear them for days, and they still feel fresh.
Made from fine merino wool that regulates temperature year-round
Air them out overnight, and they look (and smell) like new
Ideal for travel, daily wear, and layered looks
Slim, flattering cut with timeless simplicity
These tees aren’t just practical—they’re timeless and well-made.
Why Wool?
Cotton and linen may feel familiar, but their lifespan is short, wrinkling easily, wearing down fast, and rarely traveling well.
Wool has changed. Today’s merino is soft, breathable, and naturally wrinkle-resistant. It holds its shape, regulates temperature, and stays fresh longer, without the itch of the past.
A better material for daily wear, and a smarter one for travel.
Behind the Pick
Unbound Merino was founded by three friends who were frustrated with overpacking and never feeling polished on the go. They wanted clothes that looked good, were packed light, and didn’t need constant washing.
What began as a performance T-shirt for men evolved into a full line for women, too—tees, dresses, shorts, and pants—all designed for travel without compromise.
Their clothing is ethically made in Canada and Europe, with a focus on quality, durability, and sustainability.
Less washing means less waste.
TAKEAWAY
Natural fabrics are a quiet game changer. They need less washing, last longer, and look better, day after day, wash after wash.
Wool earns its place in any wardrobe, whether for travel or everyday use.
Here is what I own and love:

I love these classic colors, which would pair well with almost anything. They also have more lively colors.
With love, until next time
