Merino Clothing (base layers, etc)

I just read the info companies put on their sites - Howies, Smartwool, IB, CF, Ullefrotte cos I like to know what Im buying. And if you say stufff itches when its the same stuff from both companies - Mapp merino/Zque - then thats weird.

Or it could be something simple like a wash gone wrong ... who knows ... just try it out for youself people. I know which of my base layers are a bit itchy and which ones aren't. God knows about the next batch.
