Wear more, wash less
Alpaca wool naturally resists odor. Air your layer between wears, then wash it when it needs cleaning. Less time doing laundry. More time outside.
Add a heavier knit without locking in the warmth. This men's 420 g/m² Alpaca jacket opens fully at the front, making it easy to layer up, cool down, and keep moving.
Free US shipping on orders over $200.
Return unused, unwashed items within 15 days of delivery. Return fees may apply.
Your layer starts with Alpaca wool from Peru. Its smooth fiber surface gives the knit a soft feel, while the knit structure allows air to move through as you do.
Open the front as your effort rises and close it for the next cool stretch.
The knit holds air close to your body for insulation, while its open structure allows air to move through as your effort changes.

If there is a better fabric than alpaca, I don't know what it might be. This fabric simply checks all boxes, light weight, satisfies all temperatures, and looks great. My only suggestion for the alpaca jacket would be to add two pockets, one on each side. My wife is a seamstress so I will ask her to accomplish that plus reduce the large size somewhat. Not enough to be a medium size but just lessen the sleeve length a little. Then it will be perfect!
I wear this sweater a lot, it's such a good weight and the sleeves are nice and long. Wonderful product.
Hi Lisa,
We're so happy to hear you're loving the sweater! 😊 The perfect weight and long sleeves make all the difference. Thanks for your support, and enjoy wearing it!
I’ve never been so satisfied with something I’ve bought. I hate cold winters and having to wear bulky clothing, this is the warmest and lightest and most comfortable sweater I’ve ever owned. I don’t think the zipper is cheap or bad, it’s just simple. The sweater is so calming and feels like you’re being hugged all day. And it’s fine in warm rooms too. You don’t overheat because it regulates your temperature.
Hi Josh,
Wow! We're truly honored to hear this is the warmest, lightest, and most comfortable sweater you've ever owned. It’s amazing that it keeps you cozy without overheating—just as alpaca wool should! We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and are so happy you’re enjoying it.
I chose XL size to layer under this piece. XL is larger than a regular XL. The zipper is too small and doesn't work seamlessly. For the price of this garment, I would expect a much better zipper
Hi Al, Thank you for your feedback! We're really sorry to hear that the zipper isn't working as smoothly as you'd expect. We appreciate your thoughts on the sizing as well, and we'll take your comments into consideration for future improvements!
It is a very warm sweater.. However the zipper could be more substantial for a sweater that costs this much.
Hi Jack!
Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you find the sweater warm. We understand your concern about the zipper, and we'll pass it along to our team for review. We appreciate your input and are always looking to improve!
