Duckworth's Vapor Tee begins with natural, American-grown Merino Wool that is then spun and knit into our proprietary Vapor Wool fabric. Vapor Wool combines three different fibers to create a garment that is lightweight, soft, cooling, antimicrobial (odor-free), moisture-wicking and ultra-fast-drying.

Performance-tested by the rugged mountains of Southwest Montana, this versatile Merino Wool T-shirt is built for everyday life and can handle whatever activities you love to do. Whether you are hiking, biking, hitting the slopes or just running errands around town, a Vapor Tee will keep you dry and comfortable.

Vapor tees feature a slightly athletic cut. American-made with American wool.

NEW FOR 2026: The vapor collection now features an updated vortex-spun yarn construction designed for greater durability, reduced pilling, and longer-lasting performance. This improvement strengthens the fabric while preserving its ultralight breathability and soft feel that continues to improve with wear and washing.

Reviews

Great everyday tee shirt

"It has a little different feel than my other vapor tees. I guess that is due to the new spinning method. However it is the same great Duckworth quality as before. I am hoping the new tees won’t pill quite as much as the old ones."

Q&A

Three questions: 1. Polyester stinks after you sweat in it and wool doesn't. Which side does this poly/wool blend fall on? 2. Is "Vapor" a reference to how thin the material is? Most wool tshirts I buy online end up being too thin, and one is even so thin I can't wear it because you can see my nipples and bellybutton through it 3. What are the pros and cons of this Vapor vs. your full wool version? Thank you
Thanks for all the great questions here, Eli! We want to answer all of these accurately here for you, so feel free to send us these questions at customerservice@duckworthco.com.
Can you pleases give me the pit-to-pit dimensions of the Small and Medium men’s Vapor tees? I am 6’’-0” and 160 lbs but have narrow shoulders, so I’m frequently between Small and Medium depending on a shirt’s cut. I have a Polaris Henley in Medium that measures 22” pit to pit and it fits much looser than I prefer. Thanks!
Thanks for your question here, Gary! Our Men's Vapor Tee in Small measures in at 19inches while the Medium measures in at 20 inches from seam to seam 1 inch under the armholes across the chest.
How does this shirt fit compared to the maverick? I enjoyed the fit greatly but found it to not be very durable
Hi JD, The fit between the vapor and maverick is the same - we produce both with the same dimensions. Thanks for your question!
When will there be other colors? It looks like the model is wearing a darker grey.
We will not be restocking other colors until next year
Does the “Coyote” color match the AFI standard for wear with OCP uniform for Air Force/Army?
We did base the Coyote color off of those specifications, however, this does not have the exact certification to meet any sort of AFI standards.
