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

Pure virgin wool is wool that comes directly from a live sheep, and has never been processed or used in any other textile product before. It's known for its softness, resilience, and natural insulating properties.

While wool provides warmth, its breathability makes it suitable for cooler parts of spring and autumn, and as a layering piece in winter. It may be too warm for hot summer days.

It is best to store the cardigan folded flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can cause the shoulders to stretch.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the wool fibers, leading to shrinking, felting, or loss of shape. Hand washing in cold water is the preferred method.

The 'Essentials selection' refers to Emporio Armani's offering of timeless, versatile wardrobe staples designed for enduring style and easy integration into any existing wardrobe, suitable for any season.

The cardigan is designed with a fit tailored for adult men, offering a standard silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose, suitable for layering.

Ensure you followed the hand wash and lay flat to dry instructions precisely. If misshapen, try gently reshaping while damp and allowing it to dry flat again.

Air out the cardigan in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Wool is naturally odor-resistant, but airing can refresh it. Avoid using strong perfumes directly on the fabric.

Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Regular, gentle washing and careful handling can minimize pilling.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and test again.
