ENGEL wool shirt MAGMA – warm, rugged, and exactly the color to brighten your day

Some colors have their own energy, and MAGMA is exactly one of those. Not flashy, but warm, earthy, and powerful all at once. As soon as you put on this overshirt, you’ll immediately feel why boiled wool is such a brilliant material for outerwear: sturdy, supple, warm, yet breathable. This is the kind of piece you’ll reach for almost year-round – from crisp mornings to evenings spent outdoors.

Why you’ll want it

This ENGEL shirt is made of 100% organic boiled merino wool (walkstof). This process makes the wool more compact and sturdier, giving it the feel of a light jacket while wearing like a comfortable shirt. It fits true to size, is unisex, and its texture means it always looks polished without any effort.

Whether you wear it buttoned up as a wool shirt or open as an overshirt with a T-shirt underneath: MAGMA brings immediate presence. The color pairs remarkably well with denim, brown, sand, black, and deep shades of green.

Fit & styling

The fit is relaxed but not oversized – just right for both men and women who love to layer. The wooden buttons add a subtle natural touch, and the chest pocket makes it feel a bit more rugged. Wear it with a shirt, turtleneck, blouse, or thermal sweater: MAGMA always adds warmth and style.

Material & care

Organic wool is self-cleaning. This means you hardly ever need to wash this shirt. Hang it outside after a day of wearing, and it will be fresh again. If you do want to wash it, always use a wool wash cycle and a wool detergent with lanolin.

Our recommendation: Lanalicious. Lanolin keeps the fiber supple, strong, and soft – exactly what boiled wool needs.

Essential for wool clothing

Do you see some pilling after a lot of wear? Use the Gleener to safely depill your overshirt. You can find it here in the shop.

Washing advice

Do not wash too often, use detergent sparingly, do not overload the machine, and remove it immediately after the cycle ends. Always let wool dry lying flat. You can see extra tips in this video. But please also read our washing guide, which you receive with every purchase, carefully.
