Mixed feelings
The Nuyarn Pocket T is very comfortable shirt. It’s one of the softest shirts I own and it feels great against my skin. I’m 6 ft. 5 in. tall, 175 lbs. and went with a size L. It’s a good fit. I probably could have gone with a M, but I kept the L because I enjoyed how nicely it drapes. The dungeness orange is a great looking color.
I am a fan of merino wool shirts (I own many) for their versatility, temperature-regulation, and anti-odor properties. This one naturally does all that. And it has a nicer stretch than most.
The problem is that with only moderate casual wear (no athletic use) and two gentle washings ( no dryer, of course) it is pilled all over. I mean every inch. I’m surprised especially since I’ve owned and used rigorously a Trew Nuyarn T from about 5 years ago that has held up really well with no issues. Maybe the newer Nuyarn formulation is softer and stretchier, but it seems to have lost something in the process. This one is not looking so good, and I’m concerned about its durability.
