What kind of fit does this sweater have?
It features a slim fit, designed to provide a modern, tailored silhouette close to the body.
How should I wash and care for my sweater?
It is recommended to hand wash the sweater in cool water with a mild wool detergent, and then lay it flat to dry. Alternatively, it can be dry cleaned. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and twisting.
Can I wear this sweater in cold weather?

What is the purpose of the quarter-zip closure?
The quarter-zip allows for adjustable ventilation, letting you regulate your body temperature, and also offers versatile styling options, whether zipped up for a mock-neck look or partially unzipped.
Are the shoulder panels purely decorative?
The contrast shoulder panels primarily add a distinctive structural element and a military-inspired aesthetic to the design, enhancing its unique style.
Does this sweater come with any special branding?

Troubleshooting
Sweater feels too snug or restrictive.
The Belstaff Kilmington is designed with a slim fit. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer heavily, consider opting for one size up. Ensure you check the sizing guide if available.
Pilling (small fiber balls) appears on the fabric.
Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool and knitwear. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver, lint brush, or a specialized wool comb. Regular care can minimize its appearance.
The sweater has shrunk after washing.
Merino wool is sensitive to heat and agitation. Always hand wash in cool water with wool-specific detergent, and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing, hot water, and tumble drying.
Material feels itchy or uncomfortable.
While extra fine merino wool is known for its softness, some individuals may have increased skin sensitivity. Wearing a thin, soft base layer underneath can help alleviate any discomfort.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality, shape, and longevity of your 100% extra fine merino wool sweater, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Fill a basin with cool water (max 30°C / 86°F) and a mild wool-specific detergent. Submerge the sweater and gently squeeze. Avoid rubbing, twisting, or stretching.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all detergent is removed.
- Alternative: Dry cleaning is also a safe option.
- Drying:
- Remove Excess Water: Gently roll the sweater in a clean towel to absorb excess water. Do not wring or twist.
- Lay Flat to Dry: Reshape the sweater to its original dimensions and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface or a mesh drying rack.
- Avoid Heat: Do not tumble dry, hang to dry (as this can stretch the wool), or dry in direct sunlight or on a radiator, as high heat can cause shrinkage and damage to wool fibers.
- Storage:
- Fold: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf to prevent stretching or misshaping. Avoid hanging the sweater for extended periods.
- Moth Protection: Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to protect wool garments from moths.
- Pilling: Minor pilling can occur with wool. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or lint brush.
