Nice, good to see another review. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at the Faroe hoodies on the site and almost pulled the trigger. This is a really nice looking piece. Nice sheen, looks like it hangs well (at least on you), and sounds like it’s nice and soft. I really need to get to San Fran and walk through the store. I’m only a few hours away and would like to try on one of everything to help me better gage sizing. What would you say is the short sleeved version of the Faroe Merino? The District? The description says “lightweight” while the Faroe Merino sounds more mid-weight.
The drape on this is awesome! I was a bit worried with a 100% merino piece as the merino core shirts (like the District and Faroe: MC) have more structure to them but this piece is plenty structured because it is midweight. I cannot think of any comparable short sleeved midweight merino pieces probably because if you’re wearing short sleeves, you don’t want midweight. Ya know?
It’s not recommended to dry merino. The heat will degrade it. There should be no shrinkage if you wash it in cold water. I’ve had it for years no issues.
Thanks for the review. I just ordered it!
Hope you used the Father’s Day 15% off code!

How much does it shrink when dried and/or washed?

Great looking Merino piece. I'm right about the same size as you. Did you go with Large, or XL?
Ah I always forgot to mention specs. I’m 6’3” 210 lbs wearing an XL
