FAQs
What is a Milano knit?
A Milano knit is a dense, double-knit construction that creates a heavier, more stable fabric compared to single-jersey knits, resulting in a cleaner look and better structural hold.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
It is strongly advised against. Due to the high merino wool content and specialized construction, machine washing may result in shrinkage or loss of shape.
Is the wool itchy?
The garment uses a high-quality merino blend, which is known for its fine fibers and soft feel compared to coarser wools.
Does this jacket run true to size?
The jacket follows standard sizing conventions; however, the dropped shoulder design is intended to provide a slightly relaxed, modern fit.
What should I do if I spill something on it?
Blot the spill immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can force the liquid into the wool fibers and potentially damage the knit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull
Gently rub the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to reduce friction.
Garment has lost its shape
Lay the jacket flat on a clean, dry surface, gently reshape it to its original dimensions, and allow it to air dry away from heat sources.
Small loops or snags appear in the knit
Use a knitting needle to gently pull the snagged thread back through to the inside of the garment. Do not cut the thread.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior dimensional stability due to the dense Milano knit
- Versatile layering capability for various seasons
- High-quality, durable metal zipper hardware
- Sophisticated mole brown marl color palette
- Modern, fashion-forward dropped shoulder design
Cons
- Requires hand washing or professional dry cleaning to prevent damage
- Heavier weight may be too warm for indoor use in some environments
- The dense knit structure can be susceptible to snagging if handled roughly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, avoid hanging it on thin wire or plastic hangers, as the weight of the wool blend can cause the shoulders to stretch out over time. Instead, fold the jacket neatly or use wide, contoured wooden hangers that support the dropped shoulder structure.
Care instructions:
- Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the Milano knit. If home care is necessary, use a delicate wool-safe detergent and lay flat to dry on a moisture-wicking towel.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Maintenance: Use a sweater stone or fabric shaver gently if small surface fibers appear after extended wear.
