Hocosa men's wool short-sleeve shirt – pure merino wool in forest green
A good shirt is like a second skin. And this woolen men's shirt from Hocosa proves that natural materials really make the difference. Made from 100% organic merino wool (GOTS-certified) — soft, breathable, and completely free of synthetic additives. Ideal as a base layer under a sweater or shirt, or simply as a comfortable T-shirt against the skin. It fits relatively small, so if you are in doubt, it is best to choose a size larger.
Why you will want this shirt
The new forest green melange color is a subtle refreshment for your wardrobe — natural and timeless at the same time. The cut is classic, with a low round neck and short sleeves that don't pinch. The fine merino wool feels soft against the skin, without a trace of itchiness, and keeps your body at the perfect temperature — warm in winter, airy in summer.
GOTS-certified: ethical wool from start to finish
Hocosa's wool is fully GOTS-certified. That means: animal-friendly, environmentally friendly, and produced fairly. No mulesing, no chemicals, no microplastics. Only sheep grazing on natural, organic pastures and wool that is processed with care. This way, you aren't just wearing something nice, but something good too.
