I wonder if that's "fiddleheads" company, he mentioned something about a year or so ago about finding/looking for a New Zealand supplier for his already exsisting garment company...hit em up, nice fella to talk to and super interesting the hikes he's done in the Himalayas. He posted about a 45 video they shot on that trip.

The women's white shirts are very see-through, which makes me wonder about the thread count.
I have two merino, long-sleeve shirts and they both had small holes in them within the first few months. Has that happened to anyone else?Lost in the right direction. -
My green smartwool ss tshirt was thin to start with. Now the back of it is as sheer as pantyhose from my pack rubbing it. But I am determined to complete the AT wearing it even if I have to turn it around and wear it backwards."Dazed and Confused"

How do NZD dollars compare to US dollars?
And if they are in New Zealand, wouldn't shipping be kinda high?
So the 74NZD long sleeve shirt is about $53 US.Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice. -

I figure the sheep need the wool more than I do so I haven't tried wool yet.

- I really like the see thru shirts.
- I have several wool tees that have small holes in the same place in front...I've concluded I was closing them in the pack waste buckle when wearing them outside the pants....if that makes sense?
I may grow old but I'll never grow up. - I really like the see thru shirts.

I love how merino wool adjusts to the temperatures well. More forgiving of sweat I find, too.
What I don't like is how merino wool is not durable at all. I've gone back to synthetics for that reason. Too much money for what is just underwear in the end.
I think it is telling that Patagonia makes their merino wool as a 20/80 synth/wool blend as opposed to 100% merino wool. More durable. -

BTW...I've stared storing all my wool shirts in zip lock bags...just in case it's moths.

Well Marino is great and very soft - It is a very thin hair of wool that traps heat better than regular wool and not durable and would wear out under any condition, it was the best product of its time.
Let's just say if half the stuff you folks recommend to each other something that actually worked ... I would be out of a job... Well I was two months ago.. that being said I am back to work. Moth balls may be old school, but in a closet this is a clear killer when the door is kept closed. If the door is open - its USELESS, its a fumigant. Old School worked as the gas was trapped in the closet. Yup it stunk but if you pulled out your suit or dress the day before Sunday nobody could tell.
Let's move on. Pheromone traps, Yes they work wonders.... I have used them for years! Science Rules! I have trapped out thousands of male moths and they get stuck on the glue and prevent reproduction. Wives are not impressed as they come home in the evening to see a lone moth on the wall waiting for a mate. This is the female - the traps do not work for her. But these traps break the cycle of reproduction. They do not address all infestations, that requires a professional.

You and I know you get what you pay for.
Most men don't mind anyway. Until we get called out.. "hey my eyes are up here..." total embarrassment." Would you not agree?
And FYI this owl is very shy - don't do that to me...Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!
