Product Information
Full details
The Oliver Sweeney Garstang funnel neck full zip is designed for men who prioritize sophisticated layering and warmth without sacrificing a clean silhouette. Crafted from a high-density Milano knit merino wool blend, it offers exceptional structural stability and a substantial feel that outperforms traditional light merino sweaters. While it provides excellent insulation, the heavier Milano knit construction means it may feel too warm for high-intensity movement in mild indoor conditions.

FAQs
Is the Garstang jacket machine washable?
Due to the delicate nature of the merino wool blend, hand washing or professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the Milano knit.
What is a Milano knit?
Milano knit is a dense, double-knit fabric that provides a heavier feel and much greater dimensional stability than standard single-knit jerseys.
Can I wear this in the rain?
While wool has some natural moisture-wicking properties, this garment is not waterproof; it is best worn as a layer under a shell if you anticipate heavy rain.
How does the fit compare to other wool sweaters?
The Garstang features a dropped shoulder seam, giving it a slightly more relaxed silhouette compared to traditional slim-fit merino sweaters.
Does the brown color fade easily?
Merino wool generally holds color well, but you should avoid drying the garment in direct sunlight to prevent potential color shifts or fading.
Troubleshooting
Visible pilling on the fabric surface
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a sweater comb to gently remove pills; avoid pulling them off by hand as this can damage the wool fibers.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a colorless wax candle onto the zip teeth to improve sliding performance.
Garment feels stretched out after wear
Lay the sweater flat on a clean surface and gently reshape it to its original dimensions, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Oliver Sweeney garment maintains its integrity, always check the care label inside the side seam. Because this is a merino wool blend, we recommend hand washing in cool water with a dedicated wool detergent or utilizing a professional dry cleaning service. Never hang the item on a wire hanger, as this will distort the shoulder seams; always fold the garment flat to maintain its shape. When styling, this piece pairs best with smart-casual trousers or dark denim to highlight the sophisticated texture of the brown wool blend.
