Care for your layer
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/wool cycle in cold water (50-68°F). Use a mild wool-safe or pH-neutral detergent. Wash with similar colors. Don't bleach or use fabric softener.
Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Don't tumble dry, twist, or wring. Cool iron if needed. Store folded in a cool, dry space with airflow; avoid hanging.
Naturally dyed colors can transfer with sweat or friction. Wear them with dark clothing or equipment, wash sparingly, and avoid citric acid, which can lighten the color.

Wonderful garment! Keeps me good and warm and is very well made. Soft, not scratchy, and easily as warm as wool.
M
Excellent quality. I am impressed about the finished details. It is worthy to recommend it to my friends . Thanks you

I absolutely love this quarter zip hoodie. It is my new favorite. Well-made, super soft and luxuriously draped. My only critique for improvement: I wish the thumb holes were more in line with the thumb anatomy, I find they are a bit too posterior, and so when I use them, I have to twist the sleeves just a small bit. That detail aside, the quality, fit and finish are very high end and feel cozy and amazing. Highly recommended!

Warm nice fit. Would reorder

I wore this hoodie on and off while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Fit perfectly (used their sizing chart) kept me warm on cool mornings and didn’t get too hot into the early afternoon. Really comfortable. I would have given it 5 stars but when it got a little wet it had a smell I couldn’t get past. Similar to a wet dog or alpaca.
I didn’t wash it before wearing it but when I returned home I washed it and as soon as it got wet the odor was there even after washing and drying the odor comes back when it gets wet even from clean tap water. Maybe after it’s been washed a few times. Maybe odor resistant to picking up odors but it’s own odor isn’t great!
Thank you for your honest review! We’re glad the hoodie fit well, kept you comfortable, and worked nicely on your hikes. We appreciate your feedback about the odor when wet, new alpaca garments can sometimes have a natural smell that becomes more noticeable when damp, which usually diminishes after a few washes. We’ll take your input into account as we continue improving our products.
