Stoic Merino 150 Crew - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Item #SIC0009 | 385 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Sleeves too long, price too much.

By Ranked #382 - Men's Lightweight Long Underwear - Tops December 22, 2009

My arms are usually a tad bit too long for the clothes I wear, but I find myself really wishing this piece had arms an inch shorter. I bought it on SAC for half off, so it wasn't worth paying the shipping for returning. It makes a decent baselayer by itself in cool temperatures, but I won't wear it underneath anything other than a shell, simply because I can't stand the sleeves bunching. Yes, the thumbloops theoretically reduce bunching, but the sleeves are really long, and I usually wear an icebreaker sweater with thumbloops as my second layer, and two thumbloops is just unacceptable. I'm thinking of wetting just the sleeves and throwing it in the dryer to shrink them a bit, so if I do that I'll let you know how that goes... Other than that, back to my old polypro.

You could get them hemmed, probably only cost you $10. That's what i plan on doing. The sleeves pas my finger tips... way to long, but a nice shirt.
