Merino wool is an animal fiber, 100% natural originating southern lands. This wool is taken from merino sheep, raised mainly in Australia, New Zealand and Argentina.
In southern latitudes, temperature differences between day and night are very marked. Merino sheep were able to develop wool of a finesse and an incomparable lightness hence the properties thermoregulatory remarkable qualities of this wool.
Merino wool belongs to the fiber category"fine" or "extra fine", characterized by a fiber thickness less than 17.5 micrometers, just like cashmere, alpaca or even vicuna.
The finer the fibers, the softer and more comfortable the fabrics obtained.
THE PROPERTIES OF MERINO WOOL
Merino wool is an incredibly fiber lightness, and this lightness comes mainly from its finesse. This fineness of merino wool also contributes to its softness to the touch and makes it possible to make fluid and comfortable fabrics.
Merino wool has a very good breathability, the air can circulate without hindrance, this breathability will help regulate body temperature and evacuate humidity. Wool is a fiber hydrophobic, thus body moisture will not be retained in the fibers and will be quickly evacuated, this very unique property of wool also allows it to dry extremely quickly.
Without humidity bacteria do not have the opportunity to develop and this drastically reduces the your smells. There is therefore no need to wash merino wool too regularly.
The lightness and breathability of merino wool melts the natural material thermoregulatory par excellence, hence its use to make technical clothing.
OUR MERINO WOOL FABRIC

The thickness of our merino wool fiber is less than 17.5 micrometers, close to grade A cashmere, the best quality of cashmere fibers.
Few spinners have the expertise required to comb and spin such fine fibers.

THE IDEAL FIT
Tired of the approximate cuts available on the market, we wanted to design our own ideal cut, an iconic and timeless cut to transcend eras.
For this we chose a straight cut with a round neckline and available in several natural materials.
But making the same cut in different materials is not easy because each material will react differently when sewn, depending on its rigidity or flexibility, we call this "movement".
To achieve this, it was necessary to create a unique pattern for each material, so as to compensate for the movement and have a single cut for several different materials.
It's now done and after multiple fittings on different body types and more than 18 months of hard work, the ideal cut is now available in four different natural materials.
HIGH-END WITHOUT AMALGAM
The cut is straight fitted without being too close to the body either to remain comfortable.
The shoulder width is 37.5 centimeters in S.
The length is 62.0 centimeters in S.
The sleeves are neither too short nor too long to reach mid-arm and the bottom of the sleeves are adjusted so that the sleeve always lies well on the arm.
The neck strip goes from shoulder to shoulder and not only in the neck to improve the fit of the body but also comfort in high heat.
The height of the collar is 1.2 centimeters without visible seams for more sobriety without compromising on its outfit.
The labels are made from 100% organic cotton.
Items are delivered in recycled and recyclable cardboard packaging.
