My old Merino wool shirts both have a hole now. They were the cheapest Amazon ones I found and sold even cheaper because the label was wrong. I want to buy new ones, but I need suggestions before buying a shirt for 70€ on the internet. I want a loose fit and black colour. Any suggestions for high-quality shirts? I’m in Germany.
What kind of holes? If the material hasn’t worn out to a thin sheet of nothing, mending is an option too and is even better in terms of BIFL / RRR mentality! Lots of techniques too from easy to decorative to unnoticeable.
Worn out shirts make e.g. great glove liners or tube scarves btw if you have a sewing machine and a few minutes to spare (and are into upcycling.)
Merino t-shirts are usually pretty thin, I’ve not found a good way to darn them.
True and if they’re the cheapest on amazon, chances are that they will continue to develop holes faster than one can patch them up. I’ve had luck mending a couple of mine although it does require a delicate hand.
