FAQs

What is 'pure virgin wool'?

Pure virgin wool comes from live sheep, never previously processed wool. It's known for its softness, elasticity, and natural warmth.

How does this cardigan fit?

The cardigan is designed with a classic fit for adult men. Specific measurements can be found on the Emporio Armani sizing chart. It is available in sizes ranging from XS to XXL.

Can I wear this in warmer weather?

While wool provides insulation, the breathable nature of virgin wool and the open-knit can make it suitable for milder temperatures. However, it is primarily designed for cooler conditions.

What occasions is this cardigan suitable for?

This cardigan is highly versatile. It's perfect for casual outings, as well as smart-casual events like dinners or office wear when paired appropriately.

How should I store this cardigan?

Store the cardigan folded in a breathable garment bag or drawer. Avoid hanging, which can cause stretching. Ensure the storage area is cool and dry, and consider using cedar or lavender sachets to deter moths.

What are the main differences between colors (Black and Blue)?

The primary difference is the color. Both the black and blue variants are constructed from the same 100% pure virgin wool with the same design features. Color choice often depends on personal preference and wardrobe coordination.

Troubleshooting

Cardigan appears stretched or misshapen after washing.

Ensure you followed the hand-wash or dry-clean instructions precisely. Lay flat to dry, do not hang, and avoid wringing. If slight misshaping occurs, gentle steaming may help restore the form.

Pilling on the wool surface.

Pilling is natural for wool fibers. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off by hand. Avoid excessive rubbing during wear.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. You can try lubricating the zipper track with a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of clear wax.
