NOIR'S Second Skin

NOIR's versatile unisex Second Skin merino wool top, with a go anywhere, do anything function and a chic, contemporary aesthetic, stays true to the ethos of everybody everywear, combining sustainable technical fabrics with the luxuriance of natural fibres.

Why we started with a Merino wool base layer as our foundation product
Foundation by name, Foundation by nature - everyone loves and needs a base layer as a wardrobe staple, whether out in the elements or simply relaxing at home...

From its moisture-wicking and antibacterial properties to its breathability, softness and sustainable warmth, Merino wool has long been lauded as a wonderful, natural fibre with unparalleled temperature controlling performance. Our Merino wool is spun in an old mill in Italy. The fibres used in the production of the yarns are traceable, OEKO-TEX®, FSC®, GOTS and GRS certified, and manufactured with low environmental impact. The yarn is then knitted into base layers in the British Isles using innovative 3D ShimaSeiki knitting machines.

Because it doesn’t absorb odour, the need for regular washing is far less than equivalent synthetic materials.

I purchased my first Velocity midlayer just before the cold snap in December. I can honestly say that was one of the best purchases of 2022. It’s incredibly warm, soft and versatile. I can dress it up or dress it down.  I love the softness of my blue (with pink collar)  mid layer  and the fact that’s not itchy which most wool items are. 

I wore it as an underlayer during the recent ski trip. It kept me warm, but didn’t make me too sweaty. It’s  a hard balance to strike, and Velocity totally nailed that. 

I will definitely be buying more stuff from Velocity and can’t wait to see what their next range looks like.

It is not very often that my children raid my wardrobe these days but they love to take my 'noirvelocity' hence both my 17 year old and 21 year old daughters will find one in their Xmas stocking. I have also bought one for my 81 year old mother to make her the cutting-edge granny of Clifton golf course.

I always take noirvelocity when I travel as it is light, comfortable & ‘relaxed smart” -  I am really impressed with your product.

Thank you again for taking the time to deliver the base layer and I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love it and know that it will be extremely useful as we move into the winter months.

Harriet from Notting Hill

Loving my noir top. Soft, warm and comfortable.

Oliver from Putney

I love my second skin - it's super soft and warm and works brilliantly as a base layer or on its own. It's a great wardrobe staple.

Lucy from Fulham

I have loved my Noir base layer. Perfect for keeping snug on a cold windy beach whilst the kids body-boarded. Particularly like the longer sleeve length and colour way. Washed well at 30’ ……Bravo Noir!

Rachel from Wimbledon

I am very pleased with my top.  It is so comfortable and perfect for sitting on zoom calls all day - keeps you warm and looks smart.

Charmian from Putney

Just to say I am loving my base layer and wore it to meet our friends on Saturday - they loved it and I pointed them in the direction of your website. To be honest I haven't taken mine off yet and am wearing it again today as an under garment on my dog walk and then into work - perfect. My 22 year old daughter also loved it - high praise indeed from her!
