Wool/Silk Long-sleeved Vest Top

New in red/orange stripe!
In a soft 30% silk, 70% organic Merino wool blend, these long-sleeved vests will keep your child snug and comfortable whatever they're up to. The combination of pure silk and organic Merino wool ensures that these vests are a little softer, lighter and gentler - several mums have said their children refuse to take them off!

• Warm, super-soft and breathable - the perfect base layer.
• A very fine knit to stay close to the skin.
• Benefits of both pure silk and organic Merino wool for your child.
• Can be worn alone as a top on warm days - they look great.

Washing
You will find that wool/silk clothes 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 find they perform well, though over time they will slowly get smaller. We recommend our wool shampoo or Ecover liquid detergent for delicates (normal detergents are designed for cotton, and are too harsh for wool and silk.)

Feedback
"My daughter lives in these - and my son did too! They help my children stay warm and help regulate their body temperature. Children should be in them all year round." Julie, Painswick, Glos.

Colours
Plum blue is a mid to deep blue with a purplish tint, suits boys and girls. Plum stripe is this same colour striped with a kiwi green. Red/orange stripe is a cool red and cool orange stripe, bright and gorgeous.

Sizing
Arms are long to keep wrists warm; sizing overall is average, tending to small in the larger sizes. Fabric is very stretchy, allowing for growth.
