Hocosa men’s wool-silk short-sleeve shirt – natural comfort, every day

For men who don't like fuss, but do value comfort and quality. This wool-silk T-shirt from Hocosa is an essential basic piece that keeps your body warm without causing you to sweat. Made of 70% organic wool and 30% silk – exactly the right blend for a soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating undershirt. Ideal under a dress shirt or sweater, or simply worn against the skin as a light T-shirt.

Why you’ll want it

The wool-silk men’s shirt from Hocosa is so comfortable that you’ll forget you’re wearing it. The natural fibers retain heat when it’s cold and wick away excess warmth when you’re active. Perfect for everyday life – whether you work outdoors, cycle to the office, or are sitting quietly at your desk. And did you know that wool doesn't hold odors? You can comfortably wear this shirt for several days without it losing its freshness. Practical and sustainable.

Fit & details

The shirt has a classic, slightly longer fit so that it stays tucked into your trousers. The seams are finished thinly and smoothly, making it invisible under your outer layers. The short sleeves provide freedom of movement and are ideal if you tend to get too warm in long sleeves. The low round neck makes it suitable to wear discreetly under a dress shirt. In the photo, Rutger is wearing a size L, which corresponds to his normal size.

Material & sustainability

Hocosa works exclusively with organic wool (GOTS-certified) and silk fibers of controlled origin. That means: no chemicals, fair wages, and respect for people, animals, and nature. The wool comes from sheep that are kept with care – without mulesing – and the silk provides that luxuriously soft feeling on your skin. The shirt is available in several natural colors that perfectly match the sleeveless tops and long-sleeved shirts from the same series.

Care & washing

Organic wool is self-cleaning and does not absorb odors. Airing it out is often enough! Hang the shirt outside for a night or in the bathroom while you shower, and it will smell like new again. Do you still want to wash it? Use a cold wool cycle and a drop of Lanalicious wool detergent. Gently pull the shirt into shape after washing and let it dry flat – this keeps it looking beautiful for years.

Sustainable & fair

Hocosa is a small Swiss family business that has stood for craftsmanship and reliability for decades. Everything is produced in Europe using pure materials and fair labor. No fast fashion, no plastic – just really good underwear that lasts for years. A conscious choice that fits you if you value comfort, quality, and sustainability.
