FAQs
What size should I order?
The jumper has a loose, regular fit. Size M measures 58cm in length and 57cm in sleeve length. Refer to the size chart and compare measurements to your own clothing. The model is 178cm tall and wears a size small.
How do I wash this jumper?
This jumper requires careful cleaning. It should be hand washed or dry cleaned only. Avoid machine washing to protect the fabric and intricate design.
What is the material of the Polo Bear design?
The Polo Bear is knitted and embroidered using an intarsia technique. The design itself is composed of 80% cotton and 20% linen.
What does 'intarsia-knitted' mean?
Intarsia is a knitting technique where different colored yarns are knitted together to create patterns or images directly within the fabric, rather than being printed or embroidered on top.
How do I care for the embroidery?
Avoid direct heat when ironing, and if ironing is necessary, do so on a low setting on the reverse side of the fabric, preferably with a pressing cloth. Hand washing is also gentler on the embroidery than machine washing.
Is this jumper suitable for very cold weather?
The heavy-gauge cotton provides warmth, making it suitable for cooler weather. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece over other garments.
What is the difference between the design and body material?
The main body of the jumper is 100% cotton. The specific knitted and embroidered design featuring the Polo Bear uses a blend of 80% cotton and 20% linen.
Troubleshooting
Jumper feels too large or bulky.
The jumper has a designed 'loose fit' and 'dropped shoulders'. For a more fitted look, consider layering it or pairing with slimmer-fit bottoms. If sizing is incorrect, check available sibling sizes.
Embroidery appears creased.
If the embroidery is creased, try a low-heat iron on the reverse side of the fabric, ensuring a pressing cloth is used to protect the embroidery itself. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning may help.
Pilling on the cotton fabric.
Some pilling can occur with natural cotton fibers. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Ensure washing instructions are followed strictly to minimize this.
