When it comes to combining functionality with style, MANUMIT Apparel stands out in the crowded market of performance clothing. Designed and printed in Devon, England, MANUMIT specialises in creating what they claim to be the best merino wool t-shirts available today and, from what we can see here at Coolector HQ, they might just be right.

Their approach isn’t driven by fleeting fashion trends but by a desire to produce t-shirts that serve practical purposes without compromising on style. These are t-shirts that look as good in the pub as they do on a hiking trail. The secret to MANUMIT’s exceptional clothing lies in the quality of its materials. The merino wool used is sourced from Wool Mark and Responsible Wool Standard certified manufacturers, ensuring not only the highest quality but also ethical and sustainable practices.

These manufacturers are also WRAP, Sears, and BSCI accredited, underscoring MANUMIT’s commitment to responsible production. Merino wool’s appeal is rooted in its unique fibres, which offer a host of benefits that synthetic materials simply can’t match. Unlike traditional ‘technical outdoor clothing’ that relies on flatlock seams to prevent chafing, MANUMIT’s merino wool t-shirts eschew these unnecessary features.

The fine, soft fibres of merino wool are gentle against the skin, eliminating the need for such seams and focusing instead on a clean, classic design that doesn’t shout. Currently boasting a small but perfectly formed selection of Merino wool tees, MANUMIT are definitely a brand that have landed themselves firmly on our radar here at The Coolector. Check out their best pieces below:
