FAQs
What makes the 'Soft Cool Touch' treatment special?
The Soft Cool Touch treatment involves cold-pressing the wool yarn. This makes the yarn more compact and flexible, resulting in a fabric that feels soft, resists pilling, and has water-repellent properties.
Can this sweater be worn in warmer weather?
While the 'Cool Touch' aspect provides some breathability, it is still a wool garment. It is best suited for moderate to cooler temperatures. The water-repellent feature can be beneficial year-round for protection against spills.
How do I clean the sweater if it gets dirty?
We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent specifically for wool. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying to preserve the fabric's integrity and the effectiveness of the treatment.
Is this sweater suitable for formal occasions?
This sweater offers functional elegance and is best suited for smart-casual or casual settings. It is not typically considered formal wear.
What does 'pilling' mean and how is it prevented?
Pilling refers to the formation of small balls of fiber on the fabric's surface. The Soft Cool Touch treatment and the dense weave of this sweater are designed to minimize pilling, but occasional removal with a fabric shaver might be needed.
Can I machine dry this sweater?
No, machine drying is not recommended. It can cause shrinkage, damage the wool fibers, and affect the water-repellent treatment. Always lay flat to dry.
What size should I order?
Please refer to the Paul & Shark sizing chart available on the product page for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Sweater feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh agitation. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry.
Water is soaking into the fabric.
The water-repellent treatment may have diminished over time. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for wool garments, following product instructions carefully.
Noticeable pilling on the surface.
Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or specialized wool comb. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying procedures.
Zipper is sticking.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax.
