As part of American Living for JCPenney’s “Made For” campaign, we were asked to create an outfit “Made For” a specific moment of our day. Like most women, we wear many hats, so wearing clothes that “do it all” is essential. Our clothes need to be stylish, comfortable and versatile enough to take us from morning to night and everywhere in between as we get our kids ready for school, head out for a business meeting, run errands and sometimes attend an evening work event or social gathering.

We were recently asked to test wear a superfine wool t-shirt from Ramblers Way. Despite the promise of “next-to-skin softness”, we were somewhat skeptical that a garment made of wool would resemble anything akin to a t-shirt. Created by the founders of Tom’s of Maine, we were lured by their dedication to responsible and sustainable wool production methods, made in America, and intrigued to see just how soft and fine wool can be.
