Description
Merino Wool Base Layer Shirt with Crew Neck and Set-In Sleeves
Product Overview
Most merino base layers are blends. Nylon, polyester, or cotton mixed into the fibre. Stanfield's 8313 100% Merino Wool Base Layer Shirt is pure New Zealand merino from surface to skin. No filler, no padding. This men's merino wool shirt manages odour, regulates temperature, and retains warmth when wet. Crew neck, set-in sleeves. Black, sizes S to XL. Made in Canada.
Key Features and Benefits
- 100% New Zealand merino wool, surface to skin. Every fibre in this merino wool base layer shirt is New Zealand merino wool. No nylon reinforcement, no polyester core yarn, no cotton inner.
- Natural odour resistance for multi-day wear. Merino wool fibre naturally resists odour-causing bacteria without chemical treatment. A 100% merino wool base layer holds up across consecutive days between washes.
- Temperature regulation in both directions. Merino fibre absorbs and releases moisture vapour, cooling the body during exertion and holding warm air at rest. This pure merino wool shirt works in cold mornings and warm afternoons without a layer change.
- Crew neck with set-in long sleeves. This merino wool long sleeve shirt layers flat under work shirts, insulated jackets, and FR shells. Two-needle hems at the waist and sleeves resist unravelling through repeated washing.
- Retains warmth when damp. Merino fibre absorbs moisture vapour without feeling wet against skin, then releases it as conditions change. Cotton and synthetic base layers lose insulating ability when damp from sweat; merino does not.
- Made in Truro, Nova Scotia. Manufactured at a Truro, Nova Scotia mill producing wool garments since 1856. A merino base layer Canada produces at a domestic mill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a merino wool base layer worth it?
Yes. Merino wool manages odour naturally, regulates body temperature, and retains warmth when wet. A merino wool base layer shirt outlasts synthetic alternatives between washes. One shirt handles consecutive days of wear in conditions where cotton or polyester would need daily laundering.
What is the best brand of merino wool base layer?
Depends on priorities. Smartwool blends merino with nylon for durability. Icebreaker offers 100% merino at a higher price. For a merino base layer Canada manufactures domestically, Stanfield's merino wool shirt delivers 100% New Zealand merino from Truro, Nova Scotia.
Merino wool vs synthetic base layer: which is better?
Merino wins on odour control and warmth when wet. Synthetic wins on drying speed. For multi-day wear between washes, merino outperforms every synthetic fabric. For single-day high-output activities where fast drying matters most, synthetic is the practical choice.
Can you machine wash merino wool?
Yes. Machine wash cool, tumble dry low, no bleach. Merino wool retains its shape and odour resistance through repeated machine washing. No hand washing or dry cleaning required for regular care of this garment.
What is the best merino wool base layer for cold weather?
Fabric weight matters most. Midweight merino (200–250 GSM) suits most cold weather. The 8313 is thinner than wool-blend garments in the lineup but warmer than cotton. For the best merino wool base layer for cold weather work, pair this shirt with the 8312 100% merino long johns for full-body coverage.
