Proof’s 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt Could Replace Your Whole Wardrobe


You can never go wrong when it comes to merino wool clothing and that’s particularly true when it comes to t-shirts. If you’re looking to build on your collection (or replace a few of those stained tees), then Proof’s 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt is the ultimate option for you.

Merino wool is known for its temperature regulation, durability and soft, itch-free feel, you can always trust its durability. The best bit, however, is the naturally odour-resistant and moisture-wicking properties of merino wool. Comfy, fresh and long-lasting – we can see why this particular shirt is so popular.

Huckberry’s bestselling 72-Hour collection is crafted from a New Zealand merino wool that has been sustainably sourced from NZ farms. The shirts are made with a nylon core – made from 87 per cent 16.5-micron merino wool and 13 per cent nylon which allows the merino fabric to be machine washed for easy care throughout the life of the garment (just make sure you stick to a cold and gentle washing cycle to avoid shrinking). This means you can toss it in the washing machine without having to worry about the material.

This shirt is not only durable but super versatile. It can function as the perfect merino wool base layer for when you need to pack light. And, given that you can wear it multiple days in a row without getting smelly, it’s the perfect lazy-boy travel essential.

Not only that, but the shirt doesn’t make compromises when it comes to style. The shirt features a refined cut that combines comfort with technical performance. Better yet, the shirt is rated UPF 30+ for sun protection (perfect for all those that burn easily.)

The 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt has a slim, performance fit through the chest and body, so if you prefer a looser or more casual fit, we recommend sizing up.

We love the range of colours available, from navy to forest to teal blue – our favourite is the dune – a sandy shade that matches nicely with pretty much anything. Another bonus for when you’re feeling lazy but still want to look the part.

The ultimate travel t-shirt, the 72-Hour Merino Tee is the cutting edge of technical fabrics that doesn’t sacrifice comfort or looks. A no-brainer addition to any pragmatic man’s wardrobe.
