Fabric

Known for its unparalleled softness and comfort, Merino wool is a high-performance fibre perfect for all seasons. It is breathable and moisture-wicking, transporting perspiration and moisture away from the body and towards the surface of the fabric. The natural crimp and scales on the wool fibres create tiny pockets of air that allow for moisture to be absorbed and released quickly. Merino wool is also wrinkle-resistant, making it a terrifically low-maintenance option (particularly when it comes to travelling). The silk, blended with the wool, has a natural lustre and sheen but is also a strong and durable fibre that can withstand repeated wear and handling.

Construction

This garment is made with soft shoulders, which means the shoulders are stripped of excess structure and padding. It is a sartorial technique commonly associated with Neapolitan tailoring allowing the shoulders to drape naturally, without the stuffiness of padding. This creates a softer, more relaxed silhouette that follows the contours of the body without excessive stiffness or structure.
