FAQs

What makes merino wool good for layering?

Merino wool is naturally breathable, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking, making it an excellent choice for layering. It keeps you warm without overheating and feels soft against the skin.

How do I know if it's a genuine merino wool jumper?

Check the material composition tag, which should state '100% Merino Wool' or similar. High-quality brands like Lyle and Scott typically use authentic materials.

Can I wear this in wet weather?

Merino wool offers some water resistance but is not fully waterproof. It's best used as a warm layer under a waterproof or water-resistant outer shell in wet conditions.

Is this jumper suitable for sensitive skin?

Merino wool is generally much softer and less itchy than traditional wool due to its finer fibers. Many people with sensitive skin find it comfortable.

What is the fit of this jumper?

This jumper features a regular fit, designed to be comfortable and allow for layering without being too tight or too loose.

How often should I wash my merino wool jumper?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Airing out the jumper between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.

What does '1/4 zip' mean?

A 1/4 zip refers to a zipper that extends about a quarter of the way down the front of the garment, typically from the collar.

Troubleshooting

Jumper feels itchy

Ensure you are using a high-quality merino wool. Wash according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Itching can sometimes occur with new wool; washing often softens it.

Jumper has lost its shape after washing

Reshape the jumper gently while damp and always dry flat. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment. Future washes should strictly follow the 'dry flat' instruction.

Pilling on the surface

Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers over time. Use a fabric comb or a sweater shaver designed for wool to gently remove any pills. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.

Color bleeding

This is rare with quality dyes but can occur if washed with dissimilar colors. Always wash dark colors separately in cool water. If bleeding occurs, rewash with similar colors using wool detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required.

Compatibility: This jumper is designed as a versatile layering piece. It pairs well with casual trousers, jeans, or smart chinos. It can be layered over t-shirts, polos, or dress shirts, and under jackets, coats, or gilets.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Hand wash recommended in cool water (30°C or 86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid machine washing unless specified by the care label and using a delicate wool cycle.
  2. Drying: Dry flat to maintain the jumper's shape. Do not tumble dry. Lay the jumper flat on a clean towel, reshaping it gently to its original dimensions.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting (cool iron) with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct heat on the wool fibers.
  4. Storage: Fold the jumper for storage rather than hanging to prevent stretching or distortion.
