Is merino wool itchy?

Merino fibers are much finer than standard wool, so most people wear this crewneck directly over a shirt or on bare skin without irritation.

How should I wash it?

Use cold water on a gentle or wool cycle, or hand wash, then lay it flat to dry. Skip the dryer, which shrinks wool.

Does it run true to size?

The model at 6'1" and 185 pounds wears a medium, which points to a standard men's fit. Size up if you want a roomier layer over a shirt.

Is it warm enough for winter?

On its own it suits cool fall and spring days. In deep winter, wear it as a mid-layer under a coat.

What is the logo on the back?

A tonal surfer-dude logo sits on the center back yoke, so it is subtle and only visible from behind.

Is it better than a cashmere sweater?

Merino is more durable, more breathable and easier to care for than cashmere, though cashmere feels softer. For everyday wear, merino holds up better.

Our take on the Ronald Merino Wool Sweater

The Ronald Merino Wool Sweater is a men's crewneck knit in 100% merino wool, finished with rib cuffs and collar and a tonal surfer-dude logo on the center back yoke. Merino is the draw: it insulates like wool but is fine enough to wear against skin without the itch of coarser knits, and it breathes better than cotton or acrylic crewnecks. It is a plain, versatile layer for cool weather rather than a statement piece. Against cashmere rivals it is more durable and easier to care for; against cheap acrylic sweaters it costs more and needs gentler washing.
