FAQs
What is the main benefit of merino wool in these long johns?
Merino wool provides excellent natural insulation, breathability, moisture-wicking, and odor resistance, keeping you comfortable in various conditions.
Are these long johns suitable for everyday wear or just sports?
They are versatile and can be worn for both everyday comfort under other clothing and for active pursuits like hiking or skiing due to their thermal properties and freedom of movement.
Why is there no fly on these long johns?
The design choice to omit a fly is common in some base layers to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted fit and prevent potential discomfort or chafing during activity.
How do I wash and care for my merino wool long johns?
Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C with wool detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and tumble drying. Dry flat away from heat.
Can I wear these directly against my skin?
Yes, 100% organic merino wool is known for its softness and is comfortable to wear directly against the skin for most people.
What does '8x1 knitting quality' mean?
This refers to the specific rib knitting technique used, characterized by a uniform wide rib. It contributes to the garment's elasticity, fit, and freedom of movement.
How do they fit?
They are designed to fit close to the body, providing a snug base layer feel without being restrictive, thanks to the elastic waistband and the knit's flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Long johns feel itchy
Ensure they are 100% merino wool and have been washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, a second wash can soften the fibers. Ensure no synthetic blends are mixed.
Reduced warmth after washing
Check that you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the temperature and cycle guidelines. Avoid high heat or harsh washing.
Pilling on the surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers, especially with friction. It can be managed by gentle washing and using a fabric shaver if necessary. Ensure you are not over-washing.
