I'm thinking about trying out a wool baselayer.
I have never owned merino before, and am concerned about SHRINKING when laundered.
I would hate to spend the money on a wool product only to find it uncomfortable/unusable if shrinking occured.
Does a good marino baselayer shrink significantly when washed as I am led to believe wool can do?
If so, when you buy a wool garment do you go up in size to account for the problem and how much?
I'm 5'10, about 190, and would normally be comfortable in a mens LARGE.
Should I be considering an XL?
Thanks,
jd
