How to Care for a Men's Roll Neck Tee

Quick answer

Wash your men's roll neck tee in cold water on a gentle cycle, lay it flat to dry, and store it folded to keep its shape and softness.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Check the care label: Before anything, read the care label on your roll neck tee. It gives specific instructions for that garment. The Roll Neck - Black is machine washable, but always confirm the recommended water temperature. Never assume all merino is the same; the label is the final word.
2. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Turn the tee inside out to protect the outer surface. Use cold water (below 30°C) and a gentle or wool cycle. Use a mild detergent made for wool or delicates. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the fibers. A common mistake is using hot water, which causes shrinkage and felting.
3. Dry flat, never tumble dry: After washing, gently press out excess water—do not wring or twist. Lay the tee flat on a clean, dry towel, reshaping it to its original dimensions. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. The Roll Neck is quick drying, so it won't take long. Never hang a wet merino tee; the weight of water can stretch it out of shape.
4. Store folded, not hung: Once completely dry, fold the roll neck tee and place it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging can cause the shoulders to stretch and create creases. If you must store it for a long time, use a breathable cotton storage bag. Folding preserves the roll neck's shape and prevents unwanted stretching.
