THE WOOLLY TEAM, Seattle, USA

The Beginning.

Hi! We're James, Mike, Carly, Chris, Galen and Erica, also known as Woolly Clothing Co. We are Seattleites who love the outdoors and love designing, testing and wearing merino. We see the negative impact synthetic garments have on our environment. And we recognize the high price tag of natural alternatives like wool - Time to change that.

Merino. Made for all.

Synthetic materials have been the traditional fabric of activewear. We started Woolly because believe wool is a better everyday fabric for your next adventure, workout or commute. Whether in the backcountry or the boardroom, nothing matches the performance and versatility of merino.

With simple style and surprising softness, Woolly aims to deliver all the upside of merino while competing head on with synthetics, dollar for dollar. This is merino made for all. 

Performance without plastic.

We once thought plastic was recycled. It isn't. Even worse, it's destroying our oceans. Our addiction to plastic, like petroleum, has serious environmental consequences. To keep plastic out of our oceans we must reduce the amount of plastic we use.

That's why we love merino as a foundation fabric and develop innovative products like NatureDry. You get all the performance of synthetics, without the plastic, and reduce the impact on our world.
