FAQs

What is the primary material of this polo sweater?

The sweater is made from 100% wool.

How should I wash this wool polo sweater?

The product description indicates a classic fit suitable for smart-casual layering, designed with a classic collar and long sleeves.

Troubleshooting

Wool feels itchy or scratchy

Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. High-quality wool can sometimes feel slightly textured initially but should soften with proper care and wear. If itchiness persists, consider wearing a thin base layer underneath.

Sweater has lost its shape after washing

Reshape the sweater gently while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Ensure it was not wrung out excessively and was not subjected to high heat during washing or drying.

Pilling on the surface of the wool

Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers. It can be managed by gently removing pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off by hand. Avoid abrasive friction during wear and washing.
