"For the love of our skin and the environment."

We use the finest organic merino virgin wool and natural organic merino virgin wool with silk. All the dyestuffs we use are free from heavy metals and have always been free from harmful AZO-dyes. For colouring our woollen textiles we use only reactive dye, which compounds particularly well with fibre and stands out for its excellent fastness. We abstain from any kind of chemical finishing with our textile processing.

Basically all used agents should be bio-degradable and must not pollute soil, air and water. All the materials used are nickel-free, and our buttons are made from natural, renewable raw materials.

Our philosophy, which we have pursued from the start, is to provide our customers with high-quality, ecologically compatible feel-good products that offer a clear conscience.

We are committed to fair, safe employment for a fair wage, not only in our own company but throughout all the production stages.

We feel these jackets run true to size. Order the size you normally wear in a jacket, or for even more accurate sizing please refer to the size chart. It's common to prefer a looser or more fitted look, so measuring a jacket that you like the fit of and comparing measurements insures the type of fit that is best for you.

*See measurements in the product images

The style is athletic and slightly more casual with room to comfortably move.

Wool fleece also adapts to your body with wear.

Until we get better images - that's me in the photo! - wearing a size M/L - I sized up because I am 5'9 with long arms and wanted to make sure the sleeves where long enough. I LOVE this jacket!

Untreated wool rarely needs a full wash. Spot cleaning and airing is often sufficient to freshen them up.
Take them in a steamy bathroom when you shower in the morning and by evening they will be super fresh again.

We recommend hand washing for long lasting care, with reduced risk of washing machine mistakes.

Simply wash in a sink with a wool wash, such as our Disana wool wash, that is ph balanced for wool.

For a quick dry, roll in a towel and walk along the roll, then lay flat to dry.

Hand washing takes less time than you might think and is rewarding. It genuinely can feel good to take great care of clothing with a meditative mindset on all of the benefits and beauty of quality wool clothing.

If you choose to use the wool setting on your wash machine, please make sure that the rinse water will be the same temp as your wash water. Otherwise shrinking may occur do to the temperature change shocking the fibers. When in doubt do a cold wool wash with a cold rinse with low spin speed. We are not liable to washing machine mistakes!

Always air dry.
