Belstaff Kilmington Quarter Zip Jumper - XL

Extra-fine Merino wool refers to the very thin fibers used, typically under 19.5 microns. This results in a garment that is exceptionally soft, lightweight, and less likely to itch compared to coarser wools. It also offers excellent breathability and natural temperature regulation.

While hand washing is generally recommended for optimal care, you may use a washing machine on a 'wool' or 'delicate' cycle with cold water and a wool-specific detergent. Always place the jumper in a mesh laundry bag to protect it, and avoid tumble drying.

Thanks to Merino wool's natural thermoregulating properties, it's suitable for multiple seasons. It provides warmth in cooler weather and breathability to prevent overheating in milder conditions. It's an excellent layering piece for autumn and winter, and can be worn alone in spring.

The nylon patches are a signature design element of Belstaff, often found on their heritage-inspired garments. They add a stylish visual contrast and can offer subtle reinforcement in areas that might experience more wear, contributing to the jumper's overall durability and unique aesthetic.

Always fold your Merino wool jumper and store it flat in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging can cause the fabric to stretch, especially around the shoulders, leading to distortion over time.

The Belstaff Kilmington Jumper is designed with a 'Regular Fit.' This typically means it offers a comfortable, classic silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose. For specific measurements, it's recommended to consult the brand's size guide if available.

Ensure you are using cold water and a delicate or wool wash cycle. Never use hot water or a tumble dryer, as heat is the primary cause of wool shrinkage. Hand washing and flat drying are recommended for best results.

Avoid hanging the jumper when storing or drying. Always lay flat to dry and fold neatly for storage. If stretched, gently reshape while damp and lay flat to dry.

Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool due to friction. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver, a specialized wool comb, or even a sharp razor blade (with extreme care) to restore the smooth finish.

While extra-fine Merino is known for its softness, individual sensitivities vary. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed during washing to remove all detergent residue. Wearing a thin undershirt can also provide a barrier.
