FAQs
Is this jumper suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, 100% merino wool provides excellent insulation and warmth, making it ideal for cold weather layering. For extreme cold, consider adding a heavier outer layer.
Can I machine wash this jumper?
Yes, but only on a very gentle, cool cycle (30°C or 86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Hand washing is generally recommended to prolong the life of the garment.
How should I dry the jumper?
Always dry flat. Reshape the jumper while it is damp and lay it on a towel or drying rack away from direct heat or sunlight. Never tumble dry.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this jumper?
Regular fit means it is designed to be comfortable and not too tight or too loose, allowing for easy layering over other clothing items.
Why does merino wool pill?
Pilling occurs when shorter wool fibers work their way to the surface of the fabric due to friction. It's a normal characteristic of natural fibers like merino wool and doesn't impact the garment's warmth or durability.
What is the difference between this and a standard wool jumper?
Merino wool is a finer, softer type of wool from Merino sheep, offering superior breathability, temperature regulation, and a less scratchy feel compared to some traditional wools.
Troubleshooting
Jumper feels itchy
Ensure you are washing with a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Some initial itchiness can occur with new wool, which often resolves with wear and proper washing.
Jumper has lost its shape
Ensure you are drying the jumper flat as per instructions. Reshape while damp. If significant stretching has occurred, a gentle reshape and flat dry may help, but severe stretching may be irreversible.
Pilling on the surface
Gently remove pills using a fabric comb or de-piller. Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers rubbing together and does not affect the garment's performance.

Compatibility: This jumper is designed as a men's apparel item and is best layered over t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, or base layers. It fits well with most casual and smart-casual trousers and outerwear.
Care Instructions:

- Drying: Crucially, dry flat. Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay it flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can damage the merino wool fibers and cause shrinkage or loss of shape.
