Outerknown unveils world's first Merino wool boardshort

摘要

US lifestyle brand Outerknown - the brainchild of surf legend Kelly Slater and designer John Moore - has created the world's first boardshort crafted from 100% Australian Merino wool. Developed with The Woolmark Company, Outerknown's Woolaroo boardshort is a throwback to the golden age of surfing, when trunks were considered equipment and made from a heavy twill fabric. "Now, thanks to innovations in fibre, fabric and manufacturing techniques, a high-performance weather resistant fabric made from 100% Australian Merino wool hits the surf, with a strong environmental mission," The Woolmark Company states.
