FAQs
What is '12 Gauge knit'?
12 Gauge knit refers to the density of the knit. A 12-gauge knitting machine uses 12 needles per inch, resulting in a medium-weight fabric that is less bulky than lower gauges but more substantial than higher gauges.
Is merino wool suitable for all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is highly adaptable. Its natural fibers help regulate body temperature, keeping you warm in cooler weather and comfortable in warmer conditions due to its breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
How often should I wash this sweater?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, based on wear and perspiration, following the care instructions carefully.
Can I wear this sweater for sports?
While merino wool offers excellent performance benefits like moisture-wicking, this particular sweater is designed for casual and smart-casual wear. For intense athletic activities, specialized sportswear is recommended.
What does the lens detail signify?
The lens detail is a signature C.P. Company design element, inspired by military goggles and utilitarian aesthetics. It serves as a recognizable brand hallmark.
How does the fit compare to other sweaters?
This sweater features a 'Regular fit', designed to be comfortable and not too tight or too loose, allowing for easy layering.
Troubleshooting
Sweater feels itchy
Extrafine merino wool is typically very soft. If itching occurs, ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is rinsed thoroughly. The itching may also subside as the wool fibers adjust to your skin over time.
Pilling on the surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Reducing friction during wear and washing can help minimize pilling.
Sweater has lost its shape
Ensure the sweater was dried flat after washing. If it has stretched, you can try re-washing it on a cool, delicate cycle and laying it flat to dry, gently reshaping it as it dries. Avoid hanging.
Lens detail is dirty
Gently wipe the lens with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which could damage the lens or its surrounding material.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash in cold water or use a machine's delicate cycle with cold water. Use a wool-specific detergent.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Reshape the sweater while damp and lay it flat on a drying rack to dry. Avoid direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting using a pressing cloth. Avoid ironing directly on the ribbed areas or the lens detail.
- Storage: Fold the sweater and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging for extended periods, as this can stretch the wool.
