Wool is highly dependent on the manufacturing process used to produce fine-quality garments. It’s not just about the knits; it’s also about the strength of the fibres created as fleece is spun to yarn.

Strong Wool Fibres Offer Extra Durability

When wool is properly processed, the fibres are able to maintain a firm hold on shape and texture. That means your garments will continue to fit well and resist stretching over time. While it’s natural for wool fibres to expand and contract depending on their exposure to heat and cold, a good washing should bring them back to their natural shape. They’re also less likely to separate and cause the dreaded pilling that quickly ages even a fairly new sweater. Low-quality wool materials simply can’t offer the same durability, especially if they contain a synthetic blend.

You Can Literally Feel the Difference

Wools that are processed using refined methods not only provide extra durability, they’re actually softer to the touch. It’s all about something known as resistance to compression. This is an industry term that is used to grade different varieties of wool based on how they were processed and manufactured.

Woollen fibres are made from protein structures known as keratins. The amount of pressure required to compress a garment until it reaches its smallest state according to volume is what determines the resistance to compression grading. High-quality knits have a low to medium numerical grading, while low-quality knits require more pressure to compress. Basically, this means the fibres are more densely compacted, which leads to a rougher fabric overall. They’re also generally bulkier, and nobody wants that in their clothing. Our men’s wool jumpers are durable, sleek and made to bring out your classically handsome good looks.

If It’s Itchy, It’s not Merino Wool

There are so many ways companies can trick you into purchasing something that is simply not made to last. If you’ve ever purchased an itchy merino wool sweater, you’ve likely bought a product that has a high level of resistance to compression. Merino wools are known for their softness, and they should never feel itchy.ALTERED
