The transformation
The one you reach for without thinking.
Most everyday tops make you choose. Flattering or comfortable, looks good or feels good. Here's how 200gsm of superfine merino, cut clean and classic, gives you both.
-
Before
A wardrobe full of "nearly right."
Tops that look good but itch. Ones that feel soft but lose their shape. Synthetics that cling and trap heat. Nothing you reach for on instinct.
-
The shift
200gsm merino. A clean, classic fit.
Superfine and soft against the skin, flattering without chasing trends, with inset thumbholes and cuffs that stay put. The everyday basic, done properly.
-
After
Pull it on. Feel right. Move on with your day.
Solo when it's mild, layered under a jacket when it's not. Across seasons, across settings, from slow mornings to full days out. The piece you stop thinking about, because it just works.
Designed in New Zealand. The best basics, made properly.
Compare the lineup
Three weights. One wool standard.
Same superfine merino across the range. The difference is how heavy you want it, and how you plan to wear it.

Built for the way you live
Why it becomes your everyday.
Not warmth, not softness, not durability. All three. Made the way good clothing used to be made.
01 / Refined
The OG you love, with the details refined.
Same superfine 200gsm merino, same flattering cut and longer length you already know, now with inset thumbholes that sit clean and discreet, stay-put cuffs, and a refined jersey finish. Everything you loved about the OG, quietly sharpened.
Same wool, same fit as the OG. Inset thumbholes, stay-put cuffs, refined finish.
02 / All day
Cold at dawn. Fine by lunch.
Pull it on at 6am and it still makes sense at noon. It moves with you, breathes when you do, and helps regulate temperature, so one layer works from a cold start to a warm afternoon.
200gsm superfine merino. Breathes, wicks moisture, layers clean.
03 / Real wool
Soft. Not scratchy.
Soft against the skin from the first wear. The kind of softness that makes you forget you're wearing wool at all. No itch, no scratch. Just something honest, made from something real.
Superfine merino. The same wool standard across our range, since 2016.

From one of ours
Warm, versatile, and I want more.
I absolutely love my new top — the colour is lovely, and it's so warm and versatile. Already looking forward to buying more.
Packed by hand at home.
What's included
More than a shirt.
Here's what arrives, who's behind it, and how we stand behind every piece.
The Women's Standard Long Sleeve.
200gsm of superfine merino.
A clean, classic long sleeve in superfine 200gsm merino. Flattering cut, longer length, with inset thumbholes, stay-put cuffs, and a refined jersey finish. The everyday layer we've kept making properly since 2016.
A New Zealand family business.
Independently run.
When you buy from us, you're supporting a family team in NZ, not a global corporation. We answer the emails. We pack the orders. We've been doing this since 2016.
Flat Rate NZ shipping. Confidence to commit.
Always a nice offer in the cart as well.
Faulty? Full refund. Change of mind? 30-day exchange or store credit (unless the cat slept on it). We stand behind every piece.
Questions, answered
Before you buy.
The honest answers to what most people ask us. If yours isn't here, get in touch.
How does it fit?
A clean, classic cut that's flattering without being tight. Shaped through the body with a slightly longer length, so it sits well solo or layered. Naturally stretchy merino moves with you. Available in XS to XL; our model wears a Small. If you're between sizes, most customers find their usual size is spot on.
Where is it made?
We've used the same merino standard across our range since 2016, chosen for how soft it sits against the skin. The garment is made by a trusted manufacturing partner in China we've worked with for years.
How do I wash and care for it?
Machine wash cold on the gentle or wool cycle, using wool detergent. Lay flat or air dry. Don't bleach. Treat it like a piece you want to keep for years, not seasons.
Will it shrink, pill, or itch?
It won't shrink or itch when cared for properly. The superfine merino is fine enough to sit soft against bare skin. No scratch. The refined jersey knit holds its shape. Wash on the wool cycle and lay flat. Like all fine merino, a little light pilling can show where bags or seatbelts rub, and it brushes off easily.
How does this compare to your other long sleeves?
The Standard and our best-selling OG share the same superfine 200gsm merino and the same flattering cut and length, so the feel and fit are what you already love. The difference is in the details: the OG has our original thumbloops and cuff binding, while the Standard has discreet inset thumbholes, stay-put cuffs, and a refined jersey finish. The Crew Sweatshirt is the heaviest piece at 300gsm, a cosy outer layer for cold days. Same wool standard across all three. (See the comparison above.)
What if it doesn't fit when it arrives?
You've got 30 days to exchange it for the right size or take store credit. You cover return shipping; we cover the new piece coming out to you. Faulty or not as described? Full refund, always.
One last thing
The one you'll wear without thinking.
Core range. Made properly and restocked since 2016, so when you find the layer you actually reach for every day, you can always get another.

I bought 3 items and I’m absolutely thrilled with them. They are so comfortable and fit very nicely. I have washed them and worn them everyday since purchasing them. I’m very happy. I will be buying more
T
Beautiful top, good design. I love wearing it.
M
I love my new top. It is a slightly different shade to what I was expecting but it's still gorgeous. Not scratchy merino, so soft and easy to wash.
A
Love the silkiness of this garment
A
Love everything about this top. Perfect fit and my favourite colour.
A
Great colour, great quality. I’m so happy to find an affordable merino brand and love that it’s a family business that feels good to support. Used to buy nothing but Icebreaker but it’s so overpriced. Thanks Merino365!
K
Very good quality and well made. A little tight around the wrists and arms, and I’m a women with thin arms. Customer service from Merino365 has been excellent. I would recommend their products to others.
A
Great length in sleeve and body for the taller person thankyou
A
Yes I love the texture and softness of this top but I'm a bit disappointed that the neckline isn't higher. It's scooped and a little too low for me, exposing areas of skin to the cold!
H
Perfect in every way. Gorgeous colour, silky smooth to wear and a great cut. Love those cute hidden thumb holes :)
A
Love the sturdy thick cuffs with thumb holes. They aren't noticeable when not in use and very comfy to use.
Beautiful colour, feel and so snuggley and warm while also being breathable.
H
Really happy with my new merino's.
A
Beautiful top, comfortable, washable, warm and not at all itchy! The knit is a good weight for warmth without being too warm inside and out, not see through and nice enough to wear without covering it. The colour is also good.
V
Fantastic top! I usually struggle with merino clothing next to my skin. This top is very comfortable and doesn’t make my skin feel itchy at all.
C
Great quality and good fit
C
I bought this to wear as a base layer but quickly decided that it's much to nice to cover up!
D
I love your long sleeve pine green top unfortunately it is a tight fit. Please make a bigger siz for us full figured woman . I take between a 16 to 18 and hike
I would love to buy more high quality merino but unfortunately won’t be.
H
I bought the pine green and black top. They are great, I have worn one or the other each day since owning them. I also got a singlet and it is a great underlayer.
Plus 365 merino gave me 2 pairs of socks. Really happy with my order. Great quality, soft and nice thick merino.
J
Love this top, comfortable and warm. Will definitely buy more, great service as well.
S
I was so happy with this top that I bought another one almost immediately! The feel is soft, it's immediately warm (perfect for a cold Waikato winter) and it's also robust - I don't worry that it'll get holes in like some of the other well-known merino brands. Layered with the scoop neck tank top, it's getting me through this latest cold snap in style.
A
Wonderful fit, colour, feel, weight ... 100% recommend. So wonderful I went and bought the sweatshirt and its every bit as good! Genuinely, thank you.
J
Great
M
Love this top, so soft and warm!!! Service was great and delivery pretty quick.
J
Little scratchy to start, love the colour
C
Love the colour, fit and quality of this garment. Much firmer than the merino tops I normally buy and will therefore hold its shape. Would love to get more colours when I can afford
L
Superb quality and great fit and of course super cosy
C
Great soft wearable and warm
L
Beautiful colour and quality!
The small was very tight fitting on the arms and not stretchy enough for that fit to be comfortable, but once I sized up to a medium it was great.
E
I absolutely love my top and need at least one more in this colour and a couple in others. The material is high quality very soft and nicely thick. I can see it lasting for years.
D
Love this top Will buy another a different colour
