Australian/Tasmanian Merino Long Sleeve Top
World's best merino bought in the country that grows it, from small makers who still sew locally — a more authentic (and comparable-value) buy than offshore-made global brands.
Price: 139 AUD (Typical price for a Smitten Merino classic long-sleeve top, designed and made in Tasmania from superfine merino)
Where to buy: Smitten Merino (Hobart store + online), Merino Country (Queensland, Australian-made), department stores for bigger brands

- Skip Icebreaker here — it's a New Zealand brand made offshore. For the authentic buy, choose Australian merino brands actually made in Australia: Smitten Merino (Tasmania) or Merino Country (QLD).
- Australia grows most of the world's superfine merino; buying garments made here from local wool is the real souvenir.
- Merino is travel gold: odour-resistant, temperature-regulating, packs tiny — wear it home if you're tight on luggage (still TRS-claimable if worn).
