Description
Two-Layer Wool Shirt with Merino Outer and Crew Neck Fit
Product Overview
Single-layer base layers under work jackets let body heat pass through thin fabric at the chest and shoulders. Stanfield's 8813 Two-Layer Merino Wool Blend Long Sleeve Shirt traps an air gap between a merino-poly outer and a cotton-poly inner across the torso. This two-layer wool shirt holds warmth without bulk, soft against skin. Crew neck, rib cuffs, anti-microbial treated. Made in Canada, S to 3XL.
8813 Two-Layer Wool Shirt Key Features
- Crew neck and set-in sleeves layer flat under work shirts, FR shells, and insulated jackets without collar bunching or shoulder binding. Rib cuffs seal at the wrist, keeping a long sleeve two layer wool shirt snug from neckline to cuff under any outer layer.
- Two-layer jersey knit traps an air gap between two separate fabrics, and body heat warms that gap the way a jacket liner holds warmth between shell and body. A wool blend thermal shirt built this way insulates without the bulk of heavy single-layer wool.
- Merino-poly outer layer, 50/50 merino wool and polyester, insulates when damp and resists odour between washes. The polyester in the blend adds abrasion resistance to a merino wool base layer top that handles sweat and repeated washing without breaking down.
- Cotton-poly inner layer, 50/50 cotton and polyester, sits soft against skin with no wool itch. Buyers who find direct-to-skin wool scratchy get a two-layer wool shirt where cotton faces the body and merino faces outward.
- Anti-microbial treatment limits odour-causing bacteria and extends freshness between washes. Workers on consecutive shifts keep the shirt in rotation longer than untreated base layers.
- Produced at the mill in Truro, Nova Scotia, in sizes S through 3XL. The widest size range for a two-layer merino shirt in the family (the 8800 union suit stops at 2XL, the 8814 tall long johns stop at XL).

Sizing & Care
Sizes run S through 3XL in Charcoal. This is the widest range for a men's two layer wool shirt in the two-layer family. Order your regular size.
Pair this two-layer merino shirt with the 8812 Two-Layer Long Johns for full-body two-layer coverage as separates. Each piece sizes independently, so you can wear just the shirt or just the long johns depending on conditions.
Turn the garment inside out before washing. Machine wash cool with similar colours. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low. These steps protect the merino outer layer and preserve the anti-microbial treatment.
For one-piece coverage in the same two-layer fabric, the 8800 Two-Layer Wool Union Suit covers waist to wrist with a button front and trap door, in sizes S to 2XL.
Applications
- Under FR shells where bulk restricts arm movement: a two-layer wool shirt layers flat and holds torso warmth without adding thickness
- On cold-storage shifts that run 10 to 12 hours, a wool blend thermal shirt under coveralls holds consistent torso insulation through the full rotation
- Pipeline and oil-field separates: pair a merino wool base layer top with the 8812 long johns for full-body two-layer coverage
- Early-morning agricultural chores where a long sleeve two layer wool shirt breathes during physical work and insulates during rest
- Stationary hours in sub-zero hunting and ice-fishing conditions, where a men's two layer wool shirt under an insulated jacket holds body heat without bulk

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a two-layer base layer shirt?
A two-layer base layer shirt uses two separate fabrics with an air gap between them. Body heat warms the trapped air, which insulates without added fabric weight. The 8813 pairs a cotton-poly inner with a merino-poly outer. This two-layer wool shirt holds warmth from collar to cuff.
Is merino wool base layer better than synthetic?
Merino insulates when damp and resists odour naturally. Synthetic dries faster but holds smell and needs more frequent washing. A merino wool base layer top balances warmth and odour control for multi-day or consecutive-shift wear. Synthetics suit high-sweat, single-session activities where speed-dry matters most.
What is the best wool base layer shirt for cold weather work?
Two-layer construction with a merino outer gives the best warmth-to-weight ratio for cold weather work. Trapped air insulates without fabric bulk. Anti-microbial treatment matters for consecutive shifts. The 8813 is a men's two layer wool shirt in sizes S to 3XL, made in Truro, Nova Scotia.
Can you wear a wool shirt under a work jacket?
Yes. A crew-neck wool shirt layers flat under a work jacket, FR shell, or flannel. The 8813's set-in sleeves move freely at the shoulder, and rib cuffs seal at the wrist inside glove cuffs. The cotton-poly inner means no wool itch against bare skin.
Should I get a wool shirt or a union suit for layering?
Separates give flexibility. A wool shirt vs union suit for layering comes down to sizing and access: separates let you size top and bottom independently and skip removal for bathroom breaks. Pair the Stanfield's two-layer shirt with the 8812 Long Johns, or choose the 8800 Union Suit for one-piece coverage.
