Setup, Compatibility & Care
This sweatshirt requires no complex setup but thrives with proper care to maintain its luxurious feel and appearance.
Compatibility
- Styling: The classic black colour and crewneck design make it highly compatible with a wide range of wardrobe items, from denim and chinos to tailored trousers and overcoats. It can be dressed up or down with ease.
- Seasonality: Best suited for cooler climates and transitional seasons due to its 100% virgin wool composition, providing excellent natural insulation.
Care Instructions
Maintaining the quality of your virgin wool sweatshirt is crucial for its longevity. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions, but generally, follow these guidelines:
- Hand Wash Only: Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water (never hot). Use a gentle wool-specific detergent.
- Soak Gently: Turn the sweatshirt inside out. Submerge the garment and let it soak for about 10-15 minutes. Avoid excessive rubbing or scrubbing, which can damage wool fibers.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean, cool water. Gently press the garment to remove suds. Repeat until the water runs clear. Do not wring or twist the fabric.
- Remove Excess Water: Carefully roll the sweatshirt in a clean, dry towel to absorb as much water as possible. Press gently.
- Dry Flat: Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry surface or a mesh drying rack. Reshape it to its original dimensions as it dries. Avoid hanging, as this can cause stretching and distortion. Keep away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the sweatshirt neatly. Hanging can cause stretching over time. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with cedar blocks to deter moths.
