Plain-knit, virgin-wool full-zip cardigan - Blue - XS

Virgin wool comes directly from live animals, meaning it has never been processed or reclaimed from a finished textile product. This typically results in stronger, finer fibers.

Store folded in a breathable garment bag or box in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for long periods, as this can stretch the wool. Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths.

While wool is breathable, this is primarily a cool-weather garment. It can be suitable for transitional seasons or as a light layer indoors, but may be too warm for hot summer days.

The 'Essentials' selection by Emporio Armani refers to a collection of core, timeless wardrobe pieces designed for versatility and longevity, intended to form the foundation of a man's wardrobe.

No, this cardigan is not machine washable. It requires careful hand washing in cold water to maintain its shape, texture, and integrity.

Pure virgin wool can sometimes feel slightly scratchy initially. Wearing it over a base layer like a t-shirt or a fine-knit shirt can mitigate this. The texture often softens with wear and proper care.

Pilling is natural with wool fibers. Gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver or comb designed for woolens. Avoid excessive rubbing during wear and washing.

Ensure you are hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, reshaping while damp. Avoid machine washing, hot water, and tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage and loss of shape.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the pull tab up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
