I am looking to get some more comfortable clothes for traveling and purchased a Merino wool T-shirt and boxer briefs (I've used Merino wool socks for a while already). Merino wool clothing is super expensive and I don't want to spend upwards of $80 on a shirt. Do you have any recommendations for a frugal alternative?

Costco had a couple merino wool shirts last winter that I snapped up I think they were around $19. They sold out pretty quick, so hopefully they'll bring them back this next winter. Of course, not cost effective if you don't have a membership already

Look into Quince. I haven't tried their merino, but their silk clothing was good for me.

Thank you I'll check them out. If you don't mind my asking, why silk clothing? Silk boxers were the rage when I was in high school, but I wasn't a fan except to sleep in

I just like silk for the texture, and I needed something that looked nice. They’re pretty lightweight, but they do wrinkle easily.

Hit up REI during one of the garage sales

I am a big fan of Woolly. Their shirts under that $80 mark and I have been exceedingly happy with them.

Why merino wool in particular? Personally, I like natural fabrics for travelling. I like light items as I’m usually visiting hotter climates than my own. Viscose, cotton, rayon, modal are ones I look out for.
You could also look for sections hand? Especially t-shirts

Unfortunately we don't have any good thrift stores near me. It's goodwill only around here, which sucks.

I'm trying to find some merino wool, they're really cool, almost like a tech blend, but don't stink and are great for traveling since you can rinse and wash multiple times.
