FAQs
Can I machine wash this vest?
It is highly recommended to hand wash this item due to the delicate nature of Merino Wool. Check the care label on your specific garment for any manufacturer-approved machine wash settings.
Is Merino Wool itchy?
No, Merino Wool is prized for its fine, soft fibers which are much less itchy than traditional, coarser wool types.
How does the sizing run?
This vest features a tailored fit. If you prefer to wear it over chunky sweaters, you may find the standard sizing snug, and might consider a size up.
Does it shrink in the dryer?
Yes, Merino Wool will likely shrink if exposed to the high heat of a tumble dryer. Always air dry flat.
Is the logo embroidered or printed?
The iconic Lyle & Scott eagle logo on this vest is embroidered, providing a durable and premium finish.
Troubleshooting
Visible pilling on the wool surface
Gently use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb to remove pilling; do not pull the fibers by hand.
Garment feels stretched out
Lay the vest flat on a towel, reshape it carefully to its original dimensions, and allow it to air dry naturally.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Run a graphite pencil lead over the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant, then work the zip up and down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lyle & Scott Zip Knit Vest remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines. Given the Merino Wool construction, machine washing should be avoided unless explicitly stated on the garment's internal tag. Ideally, hand wash in cool water with a detergent specifically formulated for delicate wool. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water—avoid wringing or twisting—and lay the garment flat on a clean towel to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This prevents the fabric from stretching or losing its tailored shape. For compatibility, this vest pairs best with collared shirts, lightweight base layers, or thin long-sleeve tees. When storing, fold the vest rather than hanging it to preserve the integrity of the knit fibers over time.
