- Is the Blackhall jumper warm enough for winter?
- Merino at this weight is warm for autumn and mild winter, especially layered under a coat. For deep cold, treat it as a mid-layer rather than an outer sweater.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs close to the body. If you plan to wear a thick shirt underneath, take one size up; otherwise your usual Reiss size works.
- Can it go in the washing machine?
- No. Reiss labels it hand wash only. Use cool water and wool detergent, then dry flat to keep the shape.
- Will it pill?
- Fine merino can pill with friction, especially under bag straps and at the cuffs. A fabric comb removes pills, and washing it less often helps.
- What is it made of?
- It is 98% merino wool with 2% elastane, which gives the knit its stretch and helps it recover its shape.
- How does it compare with a cotton half-zip?
- Merino is warmer for its weight and breathes better, but it needs hand washing. Cotton is easier to care for but bulkier and less insulating.
