Arms of Andes Men's Alpaca Wool Hoodie: 230 Lightweight Half-Zip

Product Information

Width measurements are made by laying the shirts/hoodies face-down flat on a table and measuring the width in inches from armpit to armpit. The bust measurement is the circumference around your torso, under your armpits. To find the size that will fit you best, we suggest to get one of your garments that fits you well, and measure it as described above, then choose the size that most closely matches. You don’t need to wash this garment often. We recommend that you wear the shirts and/or Hoodies around 8 -10 times before washing so that they get broken-in to your body shape. Even if you are active and sweating in it, just hang it up. Alpaca does not retain odors and doesn’t support bacterial growth. Since it is an animal fiber, it is susceptible to moth damage, so you will want to store it so that moths can’t get to it just like you would with wool. However, washing will not harm your Hoodie. Regular Fit” Style– Not too snug and not too loose. It looks great and allows for a full range of motion. Natural fibers perform at their optimal level when allowed a little room to breathe.

Use any normal detergent. Do not use “washing Soda”, Chlorine OR Peroxide bleaches, or “Oxygen Cleaners”These garments are generally sized for a normal fit, and not a compression fit. If a more athletic fit is needed, you can go a size down.

We take pride in offering high-quality and sustainable clothing made from natural fibers of alpaca wool.Alpacas tread lightly on this earth. They have dainty soft padded two toe feet unlike other grazing herds. This helps prevent them from trampling plants and eroding fragile hillside. Traveling: you can use shampoo, mild liquid dish/hand detergent (just a drop or two) , rinse in a sink, wring out, hang dry or lay it on a towel to dry Since Alpaca is a natural fiber with variability, weights can fluctuate from lot to lot. The weight of the Women’s All-Paca Hoodie ranges from 8 - 12 ounces, depending on size. The women’s cut is slightly shaped. The bust and hip measurements are roughly the same, and the waist is slightly narrower.

Alpaca wool does not contain lanolin and therefore needs much less processing than sheep’s wool. No harsh chemicals and very little water needed. Since 2003, Samantha Holmes has been clothing happy customers around the world in butter soft alpaca scarves and shawls, sweaters and cardigans, cosy knitted hats and gloves.

Each piece is individually handcrafted by our skilled artisans in Peru. We design our own products using state-of-the-art equipment for digitizing patterns and prototyping new products. We import our custom-spun yarn from our trusted partners in Peru - made to our exacting specifications. We require our vendors to hold Fair Trade, Responsible Alpaca, and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certifications.

Our fur rugs have travelled as far as Baku in Azerbaijan and the Blue Mountains in Australia. Just imagine, a clothing fibre which is hypoallergenic, weightlessly warm, uniquely soft, biodegrable, recycable and extremely hardwearing (ie it doesn't pill and bobble) ....

We work closely with the alpaca artisans to ensure that they get a fair price for their work, and the artisans have the freedom to create unique designs that reflect their culture and heritage.
