A pure merino singlet built for shearing sheds, and worn in them for decades. Merino moves moisture off the skin and keeps working when you're wet through — which is the whole problem cotton can't solve.

Cut for movement across the shoulders. No side seams to chafe under a handpiece.

It has stayed in the range because shearers keep buying it, not because it photographs well.

Made by MKM Originals — knitting in Palmerston North since 1884.

  • Fibre: Pure merino
  • Care: Cold machine wash, wool cycle. Dry flat.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between the Active Singlet and the Active Tee?
Both use the same 21.5 micron Merino with the same extended body length. The singlet is sleeveless for maximum arm freedom, while the tee provides more upper-body coverage.
Is the singlet suitable for wearing under other garments?
Yes. The fine 21.5 micron Merino is slim enough to layer under work shirts or jerseys without adding bulk.
Does Merino singlet prevent odour during long working days?
Yes. Merino wool has natural anti-bacterial properties that inhibit odour-causing bacteria, so you can wear the singlet longer between washes.
What care label instructions should I follow?
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle, wool detergent. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang dry away from direct sunlight.
