HOCOSA of Switzerland.
100% Merino Wool Short-Sleeved Undershirt, Round Neck, for Men & Women.
HOCOSA calls their Unisex styles "Sport" - the cut is made to fit either men or women - the shoulders are more broad than women's shirts and the pants are cut more narrowly through the hips and are generally longer than women's sizes.
- Made in Switzerland of soft, GOTS-certified organic organic merino wool.
- Wool absorbs moisture without feeling wet, keeping you comfortable & dry.
- As wool absorbs moisture, lanolin is activated to remove bacteria & odors.
- Natural fibers breathe, maintaining a comfortable temperature in warmth or cold.
- Light-weight, yet warmth-giving under-layer.

More about HOCOSA ...
To maintain the health and longevity of your garments, organic wool is best washed by hand. Many modern woolen items are treated with chemicals to allow them to tolerate machine-washing. Certified organic wool does not contain such chemicals. Some washing machines have a special wool-cycle, which maintains a lukewarm water temperature throughout the wash and rinse cycle, as well as minimizing agitation of the garment, which can lead to felting/shrinking. See Caring for Wool.
We recommend hand-washing with Kookaburra Wool Wash. 
or LANACare Lanolin Soap with even more lanolin, 7.5%. The higher lanolin content is recommended for nursing pads & diaper covers, or to add even more softness to your woolens and to prolong the self-cleansing properties of the wool.
