Merino Wool Long-Sleeved Vest Top

Washing
You will find that these products don't need washing as much as cotton ones, so you don't need as many. All are machine washable on a wool cycle. We recommend our wool shampoo or Ecover liquid detergent for delicates (normal detergents are designed for cotton, and are too harsh for these natural fibres.)

Sizing
Sizes have been translated from height-in-cm sizes, or German/Continental sizes, as follows:

Height
92cm -- 1-2yrs
104cm -- 3-4yrs (size up for larger children)
116cm -- 5-6yrs
128cm -- 7-8yrs
140cm -- 9-10yrs
152cm -- 12yrs
164cm -- 14yrs
176cm -- 16yrs (will fit a slim grown woman; will be too narrow for an average grown man)

Arms are long to keep wrists warm; sizing overall is average tending to small in the larger sizes.

Colour
The navy comes up darker than in the flat-shot photo - it's a real navy navy!
