Merinolino is Outlier’s Experiment #594, spun from 17.5-micron merino wool at 75% and linen at 25% — the merino brings the fiber’s natural dry, odor-resistant performance, and the linen adds the crisp structure merino alone doesn’t have. Cut as a boxford — a button-down collar with a soft roll rather than a stiff point — it runs $360 and ships from Outlier’s New York production. The fabric story on the product page makes the case plainly: on paper merino plus linen shouldn’t approximate cotton’s handle, but in this weight and weave it gets close while doing more.
