Can the ties be replaced if they break?
The ties are integrated into the design. If damaged, they should be repaired by a professional tailor to maintain the integrity of the taped edging.
Does this provide wind protection?
Yes, the dense wool weave and snug fit provided by the adjustable ties offer significant protection against cold winds.
Is it suitable for people with wool allergies?
Since the product is made of wool, it is not recommended for individuals with specific wool sensitivities.
How do I store the balaclava during summer?
Store it in a breathable garment bag or a clean drawer with cedar blocks to protect the wool from moths.
Troubleshooting
The fabric feels itchy against the skin
Wash the item with a fabric conditioner specifically formulated for wool to soften the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your balaclava lasts, proper care is essential. Always consult the internal product label for specific washing instructions, as wool is sensitive to heat and agitation. Generally, it is recommended to hand wash in cool water using a gentle wool detergent to avoid fiber damage. Avoid wringing the piece; instead, lay it flat on a clean towel to air dry, keeping it away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent distortion of the ribbed edging.
