FAQs

Is this tank top suitable for very cold weather?

While the merino wool and silk blend offers good insulation, this is described as a 'light and airy' tank top. It is excellent as a base layer for warmth but may require additional layers for extreme cold.

How does the merino wool and silk blend compare to pure merino wool?

The blend offers enhanced softness and a luxurious feel from the silk, while retaining the breathability and temperature-regulating properties of merino wool. It can also be slightly more durable.

How tight is the 'tight but comfortable' fit?

The fit is designed to be close to the body for optimal thermal performance and layering without restricting movement. It is not overly constricting.

Can I wear this tank top on its own?

Yes, the boat neck and blend of materials make it suitable for wearing on its own in warmer weather or as a simple, elegant top.

How often should I wash this tank top?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and their natural properties.

Will the silk component require special care?

The silk is blended with merino wool and the garment should be cared for according to the wool instructions (gentle cycle, wool detergent, low heat). The blend is designed for easier care than pure silk.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Merino wool can sometimes feel slightly different on the skin initially but should soften with proper care.

Tank top lost its shape

Check washing and drying methods. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and air drying. Wool fibers are designed to contract, so slight shrinkage is normal, but significant shape loss may indicate improper care.

Color fading

Use a wool-specific detergent and wash in cold water. Avoid exposing the garment to direct sunlight for extended periods while drying.
