So beautifully soft you'd almost think you are wearing nothing at all. The ultrafine 17.5 micron merino is the best natural performance fabric we can find. Merino has the incredible ability to suck moisture into the very core of the fiber. This pulls moisture away from your skin cooling you as you exercise, and allows the fabric to keep breathing if it gets wet. Simple and clean with an elegant drape and racer back. Perfect as either a summer top or a year round layering piece.

One word of warning though, this stuff is addictive. Once you get a taste of the merino quality it's hard to quit. Luckily it's natural anti-microbial properties make it highly odor resistant. You'll find you can get a lot more wear between washes, a good thing as ultrafine merino does not come cheap. The fabric comes from the Southern Alps of New Zealand and we cut and sew them locally because we care about our community.

Available in a Pale Gray, Dusty Blue and Natural for $67. Made in New York City with ultrafine New Zealand merino. For more images and sizing chart.

We like to call this the emperor's new tee shirt, so soft you'd almost think you are wearing nothing at all. The ultrafine 17.5 micron merino is the best natural performance fabric we can find. Merino has the incredible ability to suck moisture into the very core of the fiber. This pulls moisture away from your skin cooling you as you sweat, and allowing the fabric to keep breathing if it gets wet.

One word of warning though, this stuff is addictive, once you get a taste of the merino quality it's hard to quit. Luckily it's natural anti-microbial properties make it highly odor resistant, you'll find you can get a lot more wear between washes, a small compensation for the princely price. Yeah we know we are selling tee shirts for $75 and truth be told they are underpriced. Ultrafine merino does not come cheap, and we produce them locally because we care about our community, but that doesn't exactly cut our costs. What we do though is cut out the middle man, selling directly via this website. This means that the markups on our clothes are significantly less than clothing you find in retail shops. Maybe it's a new idea, maybe it's an old one, but we believe in selling the absolute best quality garments for the best possible prices. The Ultrafine Merino Tee.

Available in a Pale Gray, Dusty Blue and Fiery Orange. $75 (any three for $165). Made in New York City with ultrafine New Zealand merino.

The new bike to work classic. A raglan polo in ultrafine merino, so soft you'll barely realize you are properly dressed for a business casual environment. The ultrafine 17.5 micron merino is the best natural performance fabric we can find. Merino has the incredible ability to suck moisture into the very core of the fiber. This pulls moisture away from your skin cooling you as you sweat, and allowing the fabric to dry quicker and keep breathing if it gets wet. Its naturally anti-microbial so you don't need to worry about any stink and can get more use between washes too. The only downside is that it's slightly addictive, be warned before you get down to business.

Pure, simple and close to perfect. The Ultrafine Merino V-Neck tee. Merino has the incredible ability to suck moisture into the very core of the fiber. This pulls moisture away from your skin cooling you as you sweat, and allowing the fabric to keep breathing if it gets wet. The ultrafine 17.5 grade merino we use is generally softer than cotton and explicitly softer than the 18.9 grade merino most companies use. The result is an amazingly comfortable baselayer.

One word of warning though, this stuff is addictive, once you get a taste of the merino quality it's hard to quit. Luckily its natural anti-microbial properties make it highly odor resistant, you'll find you can get a lot more wear between washes. Just how many wears is up to you, all we can say is some people seem to push it way further than we do personally...

It's fall again, the leaves are turning and hoodie season is on. From layering up on your morning ride to nighttime commutes home, we have some good news. The ultimate cool weather go-to garment is back. The Outlier Merino Hoodie.

The Outlier Merino Hoodie is made from superfine New Zealand Merino. Merino means it is soft, comfortable, warm and breathable, for everyday wear. We use an 18.8 micron grade of merino that most other companies use for next to skin garments, it's comfortable enough to rock naked. Merino is naturally antimicrobial so it doesn't stink after a day (or three) of wear like so many other materials will. When you start pedaling hard, the merino wicks away moisture keeping you dry and cool. Slow down or stop though and it will keep you as warm as any other good wool sweater. Head inside and it's temperature regulating properties mean you won't overheat.

From the messengers who ride all day, to the delivery guys working all night, and the commuters hitting those cold mornings trips and dark night journeys, Merino is perfect for any rider who doesn't insist on spandex. The three panel hood can fit both over and under a helmet, but looks fine without one too. The extended back of the hoodie keeps you covered and warm even when you reach down into the drops. Raglan sleeves allow for reach and motion. The thick but comfortable elastic cuff lets you push up your sleeves and know that they'll stay up and stay comfortable. The two way zipper lets you adjust the bottom opening and avoid awkward bunching as you pedal.

You know how when you look into your closet you always want to grab the same few items that just feel right? That's exactly what this is, the item that you want to wear everyday. Maybe not 365 days a year, but everyday from first cool breezes of autumn through to last cool days of spring. The go-to essential, the Outlier Merino Hoodie.

As always the production is local, made right here in NYC for quality and style. Available in Black, Mid Gray and Charcoal Blue.
