Frugal options for merino wool clothing? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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?

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

That definitely sucks. Still might be worth a try to see if something wooly snuck in. Esp. in summer.

Generally speaking, I get my best deals on warm clothes in summer. Even on Amazon, I once got a 0 degree down sleeping bag for hundreds off...in July.

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.
