Our 100% wool Reda Active t-shirts are one of the most popular pieces.
If they make you happy all year round, we thought that a long-sleeved version would be even more useful for cool summer evenings or cold winters.
Why a long sleeve t-shirt?
It's true that it's a piece that we're more used to seeing among adventurers rather than on fashion shows, I'm the first to admit that.
And yet, it has a real use…
Indeed, who, after:
- having worn a t-shirt
- short-sleeved
- in merino wool
- under a sweatshirt
- in autumn/winter…
…never said to himself “if only I could have the same thing with long sleeves!”.
In any case, that’s what I regularly told myself! And it's all the more coherent because basically, this merino wool jersey is perfect for the cool seasons.
It is therefore the ideal piece to wear under a sweater, a sweatshirt, or an overshirt, in short anything with long sleeves!
The way the Reda Active catches the light means that the piece can stand on its own, it will be even more beautiful if worn with pants with character.
The magic of 100% merino wool Reda Active
Yes, it's the same material as our famous t-shirts.
This same soft and luxurious merino wool (where it's hard to believe it's 100% wool when you touch the material), which has been of such great use to all those who have worn it when traveling, walking or simply have a good time at home.
Here is a little reminder for those who do not yet know the specificity of Reda Active wool.
MERINO IS GOOD. REDA ACTIVE IS BETTER.
💡Don't hesitate to (re)watch our immersive video report at Reda to understand the very particular manufacturing of the Reda Active range.
Reda, one of the last great Italian spinners and weavers, went even further.
How ? Bring together the crème de la crème of wool working over several decades, sprinkle with some innovations in spinning technique and you get Reda Active merino:
- Its yarn is softer, more comfortable, AND more resistant
- Its material has a very luxurious drape, giving it unparalleled beauty among merino fabrics.
- The quality of its fiber raises the performance of merino wool to the highest level: thermoregulation, moisture evacuation, odor inhibition
This last point is undoubtedly its biggest difference from a classic merino.
It's beautiful, luminous, deep and it will stay that way for a long time, since Reda Active merino preserves its color better after washing.
It is 100% traceable and mulesing free wool, more information here:
Nowadays, it is often impossible to precisely trace the origin of the fibers in a garment.
By integrating its entire production chain, Reda has made the traceability of its wool possible and this is important to underline.
The spinner has three farms in New Zealand. ZQ certified, they meet standards on fiber quality, animal welfare, environmental impact and social responsibility.
I repeat, this wool is mulesing free.
To ensure that every wool fiber in our t-shirts comes from these ethical farms, Reda controls everything at every stage of production. And that's no small feat.
I am a complete fan of this material, to the point of making a collection of functional 100% merino clothing, pleasant to wear, with a versatile and very high-end aesthetic.
These are the clothes you put on in 4 seconds without much thought in the morning. Because these are the pieces in which you feel the best, which integrate easily with your outfits and which highlight you.
All without having to wonder if you washed or ironed them the day before.
In short, these are the Swiss army knife clothes that will follow you everywhere in your daily life.
As the Italian spinner himself says very well:
“Always ready to go”
Three colors for the occasion
A white color
Finally, Reda Active has managed to create a white merino wool jersey! The presence of wool also gives a slightly streaked texture, visually richer than 100% cotton.
It is therefore a perfect color to wear under a denim shirt or a bomber jacket.
A navy blue color
It's a more classic color here, magnified by the shine of Reda Active. We chose it mainly for all those who wear blue sweaters or sweatshirts and who want the visual connection between the sweater and this t-shirt to be as discreet as possible.
A pine green color
Here, it's a color with a more "outdoor" accent, for those who love the fall/winter atmosphere in the mountains!
It's a beautiful, friendly green that will be very comfortable in your workwear-influenced outfits.
