Finally found a merino top with a big enough chest circumference and yet the hem isn't too loose. Thank you! Lovely soft bamboo on the inside.
Vihdoin löytyi merinopaita jonka rinnanympärys on tarpeeksi suuri ja silti helma ei ole liian löysä. Kiitos! Ihanan pehmeää bambua sisäpuolelta.

Lovely shade on this top. Beautiful fit and cut. With my measurements of 168cm/78kg, size M was good!
Ihana sävy tässä paidassa. Kaunis istuvuus ja malli. 168cm/78kg mitoilla koko M oli hyvä!

Soft, light to wear and stylishly relaxed on a workday as well as on time off. Size L fits well, and M would also have worked (so not too loose, and certainly not too small). The dark plum colour is to my taste. A good choice for autumn and spring!
Pehmeä, kevyt päällä ja tyylikkään rento työpäivänä sekä vapaalla. Koko L sopii hyvin, ja M olisi mennyt myös hyvin (ei siis liian väljä, eikä ainakaan liian pieni). Tumma luumun väri on mun makuun. Hyvä päätös syksyyn ja kevääseen!

I've been wanting a thin merino wool top, but one that would pass as a bit smarter at work. This was exactly that. A truly silky feel and just the right warmth. Not at all too hot even when it's warm. This was a delightful find.
Olen kaivannut ohutta merinovillaista paitaa, mutta sellaista joka menisi hieman siistimpänä töissä. Tämä oli nyt sellainen. Aivan silkkinen tuntuma ja juuri sopivan lämmin. Ei lainkaan liian kuuma vaikka olisi lämminkin. Tämä oli ilahduttava löytö.

Product origin
This product is made at a partner factory in China. The factory specialises in knitting merino wool products and technically demanding garments. An independent third party audits the factory every year, and we also visit the factory regularly ourselves.
Description
The Alva merino shirt is designed for those who appreciate elegant comfort all year round. This versatile top combines carefully selected materials and considered design, making it the perfect choice for both everyday wear and more polished dressing. The soft bamboo viscose knit feels pleasant against the skin, while merino wool ensures breathability and thermal regulation – keeping you comfortable at all times, whatever the weather.
The shirt’s details make it stand out. Slanted side seams and a forward-shifted shoulder seam create a modern look and improved fit, while the rib knit at the hem and cuffs completes the overall design. The elastane in the ribbing ensures stretch and shape retention, so the knit keeps its structure from one use to the next.
The minimalist design and subtle branding of the Alva merino shirt make it easy to pair with both casual and more refined outfits. It is a wardrobe staple that stands the test of time and wear – always stylish, always comfortable.

The softness of merino wool is determined by the thickness of its fibers, measured in microns. The smaller the micron count, the softer the feel of the merino wool product.
Unlike many other merino wool brands, we use only the finest merino wool fibers in our products. This way, we can guarantee that our merino wool garments provide unbeatable comfort and a luxuriously soft feel that lasts over time.

3. If needed, you can steam or iron the merino garment using one dot (maximum 110 °C).
By following these instructions, you can ensure that your merino wool garment stays in good condition for a long time.
