I’ve found some nice merino that is cotton soft. I wear a medium, but often by extra large because people wash a new wool sweater on warm, it shrinks, and they throw it out (they can be stretched back to size if nesc.)

I’m sure they would be hipster approved if that matters.

Good post!
I would rather have wool too, where the heck are you finding them for $5????
