OUR GARMENTS

The fabric
Cotton is a natural cellulose fiber that is harvested from the cotton plant. They produce soft staple fibers around a boll of seeds. The fibers are spun into soft yarns or threads from which the fabric can either be weaved or knitted into different kinds of woven and jersey fabrics. It is the most common textile fiber in the world.

Care
Cotton fabrics are soft, strong and breathable but tends to wrinkle and is most often dull or matte. It has no pilling issues and can be washed and ironed on high temperatures. It can either be kept folded or hanging thanks to its good stability.

The fabric
Denim is a woven fabric, most often made from cotton or a cotton blend to achieve a desired level of stretch. It is known for its sturdy and heavy twill appearance. It is very durable and often ages well with a used or washed look. Please note that the stretchability may vary between different styles depending on the fit.

BCI Cotton means that the cotton supplier has followed the guidelines of Better Cotton Initiative; an initiative that continuously work with establishing the most sustainable ways of producing cotton, how to save water and improve working conditions.

Care
As denim can age or slightly change in its appearance, the garment should not be washed too often. Let it ventilate between washes or wash it gently. Denim can be washed either by hand or cold in a gentle machine program. Always turn the denim garment inside out during washing and let hang dry. Store denim folded or on a hanger, preferably with clippers.

The fabric
Linen is a natural fiber that comes from the flax plant, which can be weaved or knitted into fabrics. It is often associated with rough and strong fabrics with a “natural” look but can also be used or blended in finer fabrics for great luster. It is a very strong fiber but it wrinkles easily.

Care
Linen garments might change slightly after washing, as it might become smoother and softer. Wash cold and flat dry for the garment to be able to keep its shape.

The fabric
Wool fabric is made from natural hair fibers, primarily from sheep. The fiber can also be made from other animals such as goats but are then classified as cashmere or mohair, depending on what goat it is. The raw material is then spun into soft yarns or threads.

Wool is a durable fabric that doesn’t wrinkly easily. Some might think that the fabric can be a bit harsh against the skin, therefore we usually use wool mixes to achieve a soft hand feel.

Care
Since we have different wool mixes in our assortment, we recommend you to follow the wash and care instructions on the specific product.

The knitting
Merino Wool is a natural fiber from the merino sheep. It is not as rough and itchy as regular sheep wool, and it has a beautiful shine and smoothness. It breathes well, keeps you warm when cold and cools you down when it’s hot.

Our merino wool is always mulesing free, which means that no animals have been harmed in the wool shearing process.

Care
Merino wool also tends to pill but can be maintained with a comb or sweater stone that is developed for this specific purpose. Merino wool is quite sensitive to washing as it might shrink or felt. As wool is a “self-cleaning” material, it is usually sufficient to let the garments ventilate outdoors for a while. If it needs washing it should be hand washed or washed in a specific machine wool program with wool detergent, always flat dry after washing. All knitted garments should be kept folded rather than hanging to keep their shape.
