    I don't think people are going to jump at the idea of a $76 T-shirt

      It's a shame people are so used to fast fashion trash made in third-world sweatshops.

        Thanks for the sensible comment, Shiny.

        There are brands out there making merino for $5-10 a unit in China/Vietnam and selling it for $100+. Those that know merino, and have shopped with the other guys, know that $90 is a pretty decent price for what it is. And our customer reviews do the talking in terms of what it is you're paying for.

    price in title, but maybe that will scare folk off

  • Muscles on 25/05/2022 - 22:59

    Normally $90 for a tshirt?

    • Associatedottiemerino @ Ottie on 26/05/2022 - 19:11

      Yep! See my comment below.

  • Fredorishi on 25/05/2022 - 23:32

    So are they pro-flystrike? Or use other painful methods? Or do they only use genetically enhanced sheep? How do they achieve 100% mulesing free? Can't see much about it on their website.

    • Fredorishi on 25/05/2022 - 23:35

      And expect it to have holes in 12 months? Wow.

    • liamo on 26/05/2022 - 07:43

      Superfine Merino sheep are typically farmed in southern regions of Australia like Victoria where flystrike isn't an issue.
      Source: have worked on Victorian Merino farms, never heard of mulesing being done on these farms

      • Fredorishi on 26/05/2022 - 16:44

        Fair enough. I'm not an expert. I just know it hasn't been eradicated everywhere as yet and that the alternative can be worse. Also wondering why have it in the ad but not on the website. (That I can see)

        • Associatedottiemerino @ Ottie on 26/05/2022 - 19:11

          Happy to expand the content on our website to provide a bit more detail around this.

          • Fredorishi on 27/05/2022 - 13:06

            @ottiemerino: I guess if its going to be part of your sales pitch it would make sense. :)

    Is this a magical t-shirt?

    • Associatedottiemerino @ Ottie on 26/05/2022 - 19:09

      Some do say merino is a magical fabric.

    Decimal point too far to the right.

    Ethically doubled the price? Lol

      Paying people properly doesn't come for free. Don't be under any illusion we're operating on a 90% profit margin or anything.

  • Cbomb101 on 26/05/2022 - 10:47

    Merino makes me itchy I hate it.i bought multiple merino mac pac stuff and regretted it for a long time now. I now like to buy polar fleece micro fleece cloths. No itchy warm and stretchy. Merino is thin feels like some kind of plastic bs.its scratchy .

    • DONMAI on 26/05/2022 - 11:07

      i love merino. i dont love merino price

      • Wolfy on 26/05/2022 - 11:25

        Same, but you can usually pick stuff up on sale at fair prices, Aldi stuff is pretty good.

        • BuyoTheCat on 26/05/2022 - 13:48

          I think Aldi stuff is a blend. However they are still good value.

        • Associatedottiemerino @ Ottie on 26/05/2022 - 19:08

          We get that not everyone can, or wants to, drop $76.50-90 on a t-shirt. However, you do get what you pay for.

    • Associatedottiemerino @ Ottie on 26/05/2022 - 19:07

      Plastic-y feeling merino is probably a blend. We use blends in some of our products but not our lightweight short and long sleeves. They're 100% merino.

  • Jasonofoz on 26/05/2022 - 11:26

    I thought the shirt was made by Ethnics

    From the site

    "Got the tees to make team shirts for a boys mountain biking trip and they were rad. Warm when they needed to be, comfy soaked in sweat, quick to dry, and held shape. Great work guys you clearly care a lot, and it shows. I don’t know if you can do emojis here so just imagine the perfect sign." ~ Hamish Blake (yep, the Hamish Blake… here's a pic from Hamish's boys mountain biking trip down in Tassie)

    must be niceeeeee

    • Associatedottiemerino @ Ottie on 26/05/2022 - 19:06

      We were totally surprised to see Hamish's order come through back in the day. This wasn't a product placement or anything. He apparently googled up 'merino tshirts' for his trip (I'm guessing his research into mountain biking lead him to merino - merino and biking go hand in hand), stumbled upon us, and bought a few. We ask all customers to leave a review.

    Eek. Tough crowd.

    Let's not compare apples with oranges here, folks. We're not selling cotton tees made in Bangladesh here.

    Merino does possess 'magical' qualities - if you know, you know. Moisture wicking, odour resistant, temperature regulating, etc. Once you've worn merino, you're a convert for life. And we use damn good fabric that's made in Australia. Our products are made in Australia too. And the people that make them are paid a proper wage and under good working conditions.

    Why does a small Aussie brand like us get all this flack but Icebreaker - the biggest, most well-known merino brand in the world - that operates on probably a 90+% gross margin, and that's owned by a global conglomerate, get upvotes aplenty and all kinds of praise? Heck, they have a t-shirt that's $180AUD. Yep, one hundred and eighty smackeroos. But, it'll probably spend most of its life on sale at 70% off because that's the boring retail game a lot of other brands play to make you, the customer, think you're getting a good deal.

    We don't play those games. $90 for a premium quality, AUSTRALIAN MADE, top - when you compare apples with apples - is a pretty decent price. We haven't gone out there and charged an insane premium because we're locally made. We crunched the numbers and realised we could create a sustainable little business while charging a similar amount to what you might pay for some of the other guys on discount.

    And, here we are genuinely offering 15% off a product because we're trying to clear it to free up some space - we pay for shelf space - at our third party warehouse for new products that will be rolling off the line in coming months.

    We're a transparent brand. Feel free to ask any questions you might have below. I'm here to answer them. :)

    Cheers, Paul

      I feel you and understand what you are trying to say. First rule of OZB. Do not take anything personally here.

      I love icebreakers and mons Royale.

      I love merino stuff and I would love to buy a tshirt, but I am too tight arse to pay $9 shipping and too poor to buy 2 tshirts.
