Smalls Merino’s ‘Best Long Sleeve’ offers a sustainable, skin and planet-friendly base layer ideal for Back to School. The base layer uses 100% traceable Italian Spun NZ Merino, which is approved by scientists and NASA to improve skin conditions. Essentially, it wicks moisture away from the skin and acts as a second skin for those with sensitivities.

Plus, it regulates body temperature both inside and outdoors, meaning no overheating. It also requires minimum washing, and the technical merino has a UV 50+ rating. The base layer is available in a choice of three colours: stone (pictured), Midnight (navy) and Fudge (pink).

British brand Smalls Merino only works with ZQ Merino certified farms. This ensures its wool meets the highest standards of farming and land management as well as animal welfare. Furthermore, its fabric mill in Italy is the only one in the world with EMAS certification and a 100% vertical supply chain.

For wholesale, retailers can place orders here, which includes free shipping and a credit. Alternatively, you can contact the brand directly at emma@lovemysmalls.com.
