Ottie make my go-to outdoor gear wear. I wear nothing but their long-sleeved tops for overseas hiking trips- they have nice colours and the loose fit is very useful for more conservative destinations.... See more

I was buying inferior merino shirts from NZ until I found Ottie. I am now getting a better product at a lower price and supporting an Australian company. I wear them every day. Nothing else feels righ... See more

I purchased several pairs of socks for me and my husband last year. We both really enjoy wearing them. They wash and wear well with no issues. Colours is still good, no holes or stretch quality is out... See more

Decent quality merino tee shirt. A little scratchie compared to other Australian made competitors but for the price I'd buy again for sure. Would like to see more colours available. Sizing is spot on... See more

This is my second Ottie

This is my second Ottie. First one was a woman's size XL, and the fit was good, this time I went for a men's in L, and it's perfect, nice and long! (I'm female and really tall). The only slight criticism is that after washing (handwash, cold!) both seem to be slightly twisted along the side seams. Maybe something to look into for the production team? Doesn't take much away though from a great and ethical merino shirt that I want to wear every day!

Really nice Merino shirt

Really nice Merino shirt, fabric is very soft and confirmable. However, the steeves and shirt length aren't as long as I was expecting from the photos after a wash but still a great shirt and definitely recommend.

Beautiful non scratchy wool

Beautiful non scratchy wool. I will buy more. Would love to see some "fashion" colours to pair with nice work trousers etc (bone/blush perhaps). The navy is good for exercise and to pair with the right nice outfit. I didn't find them as large as others have said - maybe a half size larger. I would order your usual size, or if you are sometimes in-between sizes, go with your usual smaller size.

I received my silky soft feel but 100%…

Merino wool but with a silky, soft feel - that is how my deep bottle green, short sleeve t shirt felt when I first opened my parcel. It arrived safely and as per the delivery advices Ottie Merino sent me. I have yet to wash it but imagine it will wash well providing I follow your instructions. My only comment is there were no return instructions which surprised me. While I ordered and received a L, I now think a M could have been ok.

In addition I called Ottie Merino re not being able to access my first time online purchase offer at the time of placing my order - Paul was ever obliging and honoured the offer straightaway. This impressed me enormously.

I also loved supporting a Victorian manufacturer and a Victorian merino wool grower. What would impress me even more is to know the accurate, non corruptible supply chain history of my T Shirt which would then prove beyond doubt the transparency and authenticity of its wool origin, designer, place of manufacture and delivery process. I think as we look to have from “go to woe” Australian product this will become v important. As will brands who take back garments when they have reached their use by date and re-repurpose them. I would love to see Ottie Merino provide a clever explanation of the life cycle of the garment as this will help me in my buying decisions. I want to buy 100% Australian wherever possible given quality, durability, price, sustainability, materials, process of making the item etc are made transparent and better or comparable to like products.

Good luck Ottie Merino - I am looking forward to more exciting wool outer/leisure ware.

Hi although poor Ottie must have been over requested and couldn’t keep up with supplies they still gave good feedback when the items could
Get thru. They are lovely tee shirts. I have bought one for myself and 3 more for my friends for gifts

Highly recommended

Got a couple of medium men’s s/sleeve tees in purple and green. Look very well made, quality fabric, nice cut - standard width collar (rather than wide which seems more common now), plus extra length in body. The bit of extra length is good for tucking in and for covering the top of your shorts on a bike, which is what I got these for. Durability-wise I’m confident these will last well with care. I was surprised at how beautiful the fabric is - they look so good you could easily use as work wear with a suit jacket, and definitely for wearing going out. Colours that I got seem just a bit brighter than in the pics, but not overly so and true to the shade. Ordered on back order and they came in stock and arrived when advertised. Such a massive bonus that they are also Australian made shirts, from Australian made fabric, from Australian grown wool!

I love my Ottie T shirt

I love my Ottie T shirt, I was a little disappointed the promised beanie didn't arrive as well. I am looking forward to putting my T to the test.

Thanks for your review, Helen. Glad you love the tee.

Sorry for any confusion regarding the beanie. As mentioned in our email, we'll send your beanie when it rolls off the production line in October/November.

Cheers, Paul

Very pleased with the product and delighted that it is all Australian. Only delays in delivery prevented a five star review

I am loving the long sleeve shirts.

I am loving the long sleeve shirts. They are super comfortable. I didn’t get too hot or cold wearing them. Will definitely buy more products as needed from Ottie Merino. Awesome, friendly, reliable service as well!

Love my new top

Love my new top, love the green and have worn it for 5 days without washing, just airing at night and doesn’t smell at all. Unreal!

I don't usually follow up and write reviews. I pretty much have only taken off my long sleeve OM to wash it. It is the most comfortable, perfectly weighted, precise fitting shirt i have ever worn. It is beautiful enough to wear to the office and performs brilliant as my long sleeve top on a multiday hike (just got back!) Now I want one in every colour. I prefer this over my Patagonia, Macpac and Icebreaker tops. It certainly hasn't balled up or worn like the others have.
