FAQs

What is the primary benefit of merino wool?

Merino wool is highly valued for its softness, warmth, breathability, and natural moisture-wicking properties, making it comfortable in various conditions.

Can I machine wash this sweater?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash or dry clean. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the fine wool fibers and lead to shrinkage or loss of shape.

How should I store the sweater?

Store the sweater folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as the weight of the wool can cause it to stretch out of shape.

What does the '12 Gauge' refer to?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit. A 12-gauge knit is a finer knit, providing a smooth texture and a good balance of warmth and weight.

Is the lens detail functional?

The iconic lens detail is a signature design element and is not functional in terms of a pocket or viewing window.

What is the fit like?

The sweater is designed with a 'Regular Fit', meaning it offers a standard silhouette that is comfortable and allows for layering without being overly tight or baggy.

What is the material composition?

The sweater is made from a blend of 88% Virgin Wool and 12% Polyester.

Troubleshooting

Sweater loses shape after washing.

Ensure you are hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, carefully reshaping it. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

Pilling occurs on the surface.

Some pilling is natural with wool. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Excessive pilling may indicate friction or improper washing.

Color fades over time.

Wash inside out and use a detergent designed for dark or wool colors. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.

Wool scent persists.

Air the garment out in a well-ventilated area. If the scent is strong or due to sweat, a gentle hand wash with wool detergent is recommended.
