FAQs

What is the main material of the Alistair Jumper?

The main body of the Alistair Jumper is made from 100% Cotton in a brushed French rib construction.

How should I care for my Alistair Jumper?

It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry, and iron on a low setting if needed. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

Is this jumper suitable for very cold weather?

The brushed French rib cotton offers a warmer and cosier feel, making it excellent for layering. For extremely cold weather, consider layering it over additional thermal wear.

What does the 'French rib' refer to?

French rib is a knitting technique that creates a textured, slightly raised pattern on the fabric, which in this case is brushed for a softer, warmer feel.

Does the hare embroidery serve a function?

The hare embroidery is a signature design element and a mark of Joules branding; it does not have a functional purpose.

Can I wear this jumper on its own or is it strictly for layering?

While designed with layering in mind, it can certainly be worn on its own. The quarter-zip and detailing make it a stylish standalone piece for casual wear.

What is the fit like?

The jumper is designed for a comfortable fit, with ribbed hem and cuffs for a structured feel. Check the product sizing guide for specific measurements.

Troubleshooting

Shrinking after washing

Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle and using cool water. Avoid high heat in the dryer; opt for air drying or a very low tumble dry setting.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling can occur with friction. Wash the garment inside out and avoid washing with abrasive materials. A fabric shaver can be used to gently remove pills if they appear.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to pull

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. You can try applying a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
