The amazing properties of merino wool
The fiber of the wool of merino sheep is much thinner and therefore softer than the wool of traditional Dutch sheep. The wool adapts to the environment. It is elastic, and regulates humidity. This wool cools you down in summer and keeps you comfortably warm in winter. On top of all this, merino has antibacterial qualities and it’s completely biodegradable. It requires little care, as wool is self cleaning, so some fresh air is enough to keep enjoying your favourite sweater for years.
Choose your colour and size
Our merino colors are undyed, dyed naturally or synthetically. The colors sand and taupe are the natural colors of the sheep. Dark blue is naturally dyed with indigo. The dark grey color is GOTS certified washed and dyed. This certificate stand for the most sustainable way of dying. The natural dyed dark blue and dark grey is painted with natural indigo and with wood bark. Please keep in mind that the colorfastness of natural dyed wool is little less than the synthetic one.
The men's size M has a body length of 70 cm. The sleeve length (from center back point) is 90 cm, and has a chest width of 50 cm. If you want to adjust the size, we can adjust according to your wishes, please do mention your modifications in the notes when finishing the order. You can also choose your zipper: silver or gunmetal. In case you want gunmetal please mention in the notes otherwise we use the gold one!
