FAQs

What does 'pure virgin wool' mean?

Pure virgin wool comes directly from a live sheep, is processed for the first time, and has never been used in a manufactured product before. It signifies a high level of quality, softness, and resilience.

Can I machine wash this cardigan?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can cause shrinkage, felting, and damage to the wool fibers. Hand wash in cold water only.

How do I prevent moths from damaging the wool?

Store the cardigan clean and dry in a breathable garment bag or container. Cedarwood blocks or sachets can also help deter moths when stored in your closet.

What is the 'Essentials' collection?

The 'Essentials' collection by Emporio Armani features core, versatile wardrobe pieces designed with clean lines and timeless appeal, intended to form the foundation of a lasting wardrobe.

Is this cardigan warm enough for winter?

Pure virgin wool offers good insulation. This cardigan is suitable for moderate winter conditions, especially when layered. For extreme cold, additional layers may be necessary.

How does the sizing run for this cardigan?

Sizing typically follows standard men's apparel sizing. Refer to the brand's specific size chart for the most accurate fit, considering the measurements provided.

Can I wear this cardigan for business meetings?

Yes, the plain-knit design and quality wool make it suitable for business-casual settings when paired appropriately with dress shirts and trousers.

Troubleshooting

Cardigan appears stretched or misshapen after washing.

Ensure you are hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, carefully reshaping it to its original dimensions. Avoid wringing or hanging while wet.

Wool has lost its softness.

Use a wool-specific detergent and ensure thorough rinsing. Sometimes, a specialized wool conditioner can help restore softness, but follow product instructions carefully.

Pilling on the surface of the wool.

This is a natural characteristic of wool fibers. You can gently remove pills using a wool comb or a fabric shaver. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.

Faint odor from the garment.

Air the garment out in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. For persistent odors, a gentle hand wash with a wool-appropriate detergent is recommended.
