Details:
- 100% wool (Australia). Dying/weaving/finishing in Italy.
Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.
Since 1974 this mill has made efforts to conserve water in luxury textile production. They comply with the standards of the following third-party certification: Textile and Health Association - Member.
This garment was produced at a family-owned Italian factory. It was initially founded in 1957 as a traditional tailor shop, transitioning to become a factory in 1985. Today it is run by the founder’s daughter and her husband.
