Howies Vail Merino Wool T-shirt
Some things are obviously good value for money. Some things need a little more contemplation before their value becomes clear. The Howies Vail T is a ‘normal’ T-shirt made from thin merino wool. Merino is well known for being able to absorb moisture without feeling wet, and for shrugging off smells. It also feels comfortable next to the skin, unlike scratchy wool jumpers of old.

Icebreakers (from memory) are about £35? Actually this isnt bad (and Im a confirmed Howies ‘hater’) as you cant wear a Icebreaker ‘out’ after ski-ing or off-bike really.
GREAT NIPPLES
Come to think of it- Merino never wrinkles that badly. You been sleeping rough?! ;oD
They don’t do those designs anymore do they?
At least now they’re £40 in the sale (still pricey with p+p).
At least STW seem to be working on a highly effective recycling principle with these reviews
I’m wearing a “many years old” vail now that’s been through the wars (two tone muted green thing). A few bramble holes, but doing really well, a real keeper, you can wear it anytime, anywhere. I think I wore this top to an interview 3 years ago, and then rode in it the next day. I really wanted one of the heavy branded reddyorange ones like Matt’s there, they should bring that back, and the kermit green one.
55 quid for a T shirt? Feck that!
And what’s this fascination with being able to re-wear clothes without washing them? Don’t you Pikeys own washing machines?
