FAQs

How does the sizing compare to standard US sizes?

The Alime Vest uses French sizing. An XS generally aligns with standard international extra-small sizing, offering a tailored, true-to-size fit.

Can I wear this vest in the rain?

No. Sheep skin is highly susceptible to water damage and staining. If the vest gets wet, dab it with a clean, dry cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat.

Is the closure system easy to use?

Yes, it features a concealed zip-and-button closure, which ensures the hardware remains hidden for a sleek aesthetic while providing a secure fit.

How should I store this during summer?

Store it in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dark closet. Avoid plastic covers, as they trap moisture which can lead to mold on natural skins.

Can I machine wash this vest?

No, you must never machine wash or tumble dry this item. Professional cleaning by a leather specialist is the only recommended care method.

Troubleshooting

The sheep skin feels stiff after storage

Gently shake the garment to restore the natural pile of the shearling and allow it to breathe in a well-ventilated room.

Minor debris trapped in the shearling

Use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently work out particles in the direction of the fur growth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention for cold weather
  • Sophisticated, timeless design aesthetic
  • High-quality, durable sheep skin material
  • Versatile layering capability
  • Streamlined, hidden closure hardware

Cons

  • Sheep skin requires protection from moisture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Alime Vest follows standard French sizing; since this item is an XS, it fits true to size for individuals who typically wear an extra-small. To maintain the integrity of the sheep skin, avoid exposure to rain or direct heat sources such as radiators, which can cause the leather to dry or crack. Store the vest in a cool, dark place on a wide-shouldered hanger to ensure the shape of the shawl collar is preserved. It is essential to consult a professional leather or fur specialist for cleaning, as domestic washing methods will damage the natural material.
