Our Materials & Design

Performance, Without Plastic.

At Roanhorse, we believe high-performance clothing shouldn't rely on petroleum-based fabrics. Nature already created one of the world's most advanced performance fibers: Merino wool.

That's why every product begins with responsibly sourced Merino—not polyester.

RWS Certified Merino Wool

Nature's Performance Fiber

The wool in our garments comes from farms certified under the Responsible Wool Standard, an international certification that promotes animal welfare and responsible land management.

RWS certification means the sheep are raised according to strict welfare standards while the land is managed with long-term sustainability in mind. Every stage of the supply chain is independently audited to support traceability from farm to finished fabric.

For us, choosing RWS wool isn't just about quality. It's about creating products that respect animals, people, and the land.

OUR DESIGN

Designed to Move. Built to Last.

Great design isn't about adding more—it's about removing everything you don't need.

Every Roanhorse garment is designed around natural movement, everyday comfort, and long-term durability. The fit is intentionally relaxed, allowing freedom of movement without excess fabric or unnecessary bulk.

Our shorts are designed to be comfortably worn without underwear for those who prefer a simpler layering system. The breathable Merino wool naturally regulates temperature while the relaxed fit helps reduce bunching and allows for unrestricted movement throughout the day.

With one less garment to wash, your daily routine becomes simpler while reducing unnecessary laundry.

Rather than chasing trends, we focus on timeless essentials that combine thoughtful function with understated style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Our Merino

Learn more about our materials, sourcing, care, and manufacturing.
Not all Merino wool is created equal. We chose RWS-certified Merino because it combines exceptional softness and performance with independently verified standards for responsible farming and animal welfare. It's part of our commitment to creating clothing that's better by design—from the source of the fiber to the finished garment.
We use fine Merino wool selected for softness and comfort against the skin. Individual sensitivity can vary, but the fabric is designed to feel smooth and comfortable for everyday wear.
Like all natural wool, some shrinkage can occur if it is washed or dried incorrectly. Following our care instructions will help preserve the garment's fit, softness, and longevity.
Premium natural fibers, responsible sourcing, and quality manufacturing cost more than mass-produced synthetic fabrics. We believe the added comfort, performance, and longevity make Merino worth the investment.
Our Merino shorts are designed with a tailored fit and may feel slightly more snug when you first put them on. As you move throughout the day, the natural stretch of Merino wool allows the fabric to relax and conform comfortably to your body. Like all natural fibers, Merino may experience a small amount of shrinkage over time if exposed to high heat. To help preserve the fit and extend the life of your garment, we recommend washing in cold water on a gentle cycle and laying flat or tumble drying on low. If you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up.
Yes. Our Merino wool is treated using a superwash process, making it machine washable and easier to care for without sacrificing the natural performance benefits of wool. Unlike untreated wool, which can felt or shrink significantly when washed, superwashed Merino is designed to be more durable for everyday wear while remaining exceptionally soft, breathable, temperature regulating, and naturally odor resistant. We still recommend washing in cold water and laying flat or tumble drying on low heat to maximize the lifespan of your garment.
Yes. Merino wool naturally regulates temperature by helping your body stay cool in warm conditions and warm in cooler weather. Its breathable fibers help manage moisture to keep you comfortable throughout the day. I wear them around Austin, TX all the time.
