Hocosa men's wool long-sleeve in pure merino wool – in forest green

If there is one item your body will truly love in winter, it is this wool long-sleeve from Hocosa. Made of 100% organic merino wool (GOTS-certified), and you can feel it with every movement. Soft, breathable, and completely free of synthetic additives — this is the ultimate base layer for cold days, sporty adventures, or just for at home.

Why you want this shirt

The new forest green melange color is warm and natural, with just that bit of extra character. The cut is slim and classic, so the shirt fits well without being too tight. Merino wool has a brilliant property: it regulates your body temperature. Warm when it's cold, cool when you move. That is why this shirt is a favorite among hikers, cyclists, and night sweaters — and anyone who gets cold easily.

And the best part? You almost never need to wash it. Simply airing it out is often enough. Wool contains lanolin, a natural fat that breaks down dirt and odors. This keeps your shirt fresh, day after day. Sustainable and practical, just the way we like it.

GOTS-certified: fair wool, fairly made

Hocosa’s wool is GOTS-certified. This guarantees a completely organic and fair production process, from the sheep to the final product. No mulesing, no pesticides, no child labor — just pure merino wool from happy sheep on organic pastures. Made in Europe, under good conditions.

The benefits of wearing wool

• Temperature regulating – warm in the cold, breathable during exertion.
• Self-cleaning – does not smell, airing is sufficient.
• Soft and comfortable – merino wool does not itch and feels smooth.
• No microplastics – completely natural and biodegradable.
• Ideal for sports, work, or rest – keeps your body dry and warm, whatever you do.

Material & care
