FAQs

What is 'pure virgin wool'?

Pure virgin wool comes directly from live sheep and has never been processed or used in fabric before. It is known for its softness, resilience, and excellent insulating properties.

How should I store the cardigan?

Store the cardigan folded flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for extended periods, as this can cause stretching. Consider using moth repellents if storing for a long time.

Can I wear this in the summer?

While wool is breathable, its insulating properties make it best suited for cooler seasons like autumn and spring, or as a layering piece in winter. It may be too warm for summer wear.

What does 'Essentials selection' mean?

The 'Essentials selection' refers to Emporio Armani's collection of timeless, versatile wardrobe staples designed for enduring style and everyday wear.

Is the fit true to size?

The cardigan has a straight silhouette. Refer to the sizing guide and model measurements provided (Model height: 185 cm, Chest: 92 cm, Waist: 74 cm, Hips: 91 cm; Model is wearing size L) to determine the best fit for you.

How do I manage pilling on wool?

Some pilling is natural with wool garments. You can gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully using a fine-tooth comb.

Troubleshooting

Cardigan feels scratchy

Ensure the garment is 100% pure virgin wool as indicated. Sometimes, initial wear can feel less soft; try airing it out or a gentle hand wash with a wool-specific conditioner.

Cardigan has shrunk after washing

The garment may have been exposed to too much heat or agitation. Future washes should strictly follow dry-clean-only or careful hand-wash instructions using cold water and no harsh drying methods.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth to avoid damaging the wool.
