Frequently Asked Questions

What type of wool is used in this jacket?

This jacket is made from Merino sheep wool, known for its exceptional softness and fine fibres. The wool is turned inside out to create a velvet-like texture, enhancing comfort and warmth.

How should I care for this wool jacket to maintain its quality?

To preserve the softness and shape of the jacket, avoid machine washing. Instead, opt for professional dry cleaning. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably on a padded hanger to maintain its structure.

Is the wool lining removable for cleaning?

No, the wool lining is not removable. The jacket is constructed with the wool integrated into the design, so it requires careful handling during cleaning.

What is the warmth level of this jacket?

Merino wool is naturally insulating, making this jacket ideal for autumn and winter. The turned wool provides an additional layer of warmth while remaining lightweight and breathable.

Does the jacket shrink after washing?

Wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or agitation, such as in a washing machine. To prevent this, always follow the care instructions and opt for professional cleaning when necessary.

How does the fit compare to standard sizing?

The jacket has a regular fit, so it’s recommended to choose your usual size. However, if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up, as the wool may not stretch significantly.

Can this jacket be worn in wet weather?

While Merino wool has natural moisture-wicking properties, this jacket is not waterproof. It’s best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions, as prolonged exposure to rain may affect the wool’s texture.
