Merino Australian Extra-Fine Merino Wool Vintage Gentleman's Mock Neck Sweater Unisex Style

**Annual Ring Vintage** **Merino Wool Roll Neck Sweater** **Material** 100% Extrafine Merino Wool Crafted from specially selected, extra-fine Merino wool from Australia. Ordinary wool simply cannot achieve this level of superior texture. You may have encountered Merino wool before, but perhaps not Extrafine Merino Wool. Not all Merino wool is created equal; there are distinct grades. This is entirely different from the robust, substantial feel of Shetland wool. The luxurious comfort of Australian extra-fine Merino wool rivals that of cashmere. The wool selected for this piece boasts a fineness of 80s or higher. It is exceptionally soft and smooth, making it more skin-friendly and suitable for direct wear. Compared to regular wool, it is more resistant to deformation, with a rich surface texture, and superior warmth and loft. **Design** Features a classic mock neck design with jacquard ribbing. The mock neck has a history spanning centuries, with origins tracing back to the 15th century. From the late 19th century onwards, it was favored by athletes, sailors, naval officers, and laborers. In the 1920s, playwright Noel Coward's adoption of the roll neck sweater made it a popular choice among the middle class. Feminists later transformed it into a unisex style. By the mid-20th century, roll neck garments gradually integrated into mainstream American fashion. The roll necks worn by The Beatles and Steve McQueen played a pivotal role in shaping the trends of their era. It was seen as an alternative to the tie, a garment for those who rejected conventional formal wear. While substantial in weight, it feels surprisingly unburdensome when worn, ensuring you can face winter with confidence. When you tire of the shirt-and-tie combination, this roll neck sweater is an excellent alternative. A unique pure water-washing process enhances its natural loft. Designed for exceptional softness and a gentle feel against the skin, it maximizes the original smooth and delicate texture of Merino wool. This is one of its proudest features for warmth and its enduring charm. **Care Instructions** Pilling is a natural characteristic of knitwear and may occur with wear. If pilling occurs, we recommend using a fabric shaver to remove it; do not pull by hand. For best results, professional dry cleaning is recommended. If worn for two to three consecutive days, allow it to rest between wears to restore the wool's natural elasticity. Due to its substantial weight, avoid hanging the sweater after removal; fold and store it flat. As this is not typically considered intimate apparel, and Merino wool is relatively resistant to dirt, frequent dry cleaning is unnecessary. For regular wear, consider dry cleaning once every one to two months. **Sizing** S Shoulder Width 42cm Chest 97cm Back Length 60cm Sleeve Length 60cm M Shoulder Width 44cm Chest 101cm Back Length 62cm Sleeve Length 62cm L Shoulder Width 46cm Chest 104cm Back Length 64cm Sleeve Length 62cm XL Shoulder Width 48cm Chest 110cm Back Length 66cm Sleeve Length 64cm You might initially feel the size is small upon first wear, as new sweaters are knitted tightly.
