About the size of wool garments

Real untreated wool retains its natural structure.
Unlike fibers stabilized by polymers, it remains supple and vibrant: the fiber can stretch naturally (up to about +30%) then return to its shape, without permanent deformation.

An untreated wool garment, therefore, never remains completely fixed to a strict textile pattern.
It adapts to the body, movements, and ambient humidity: the material works, breathes, and accompanies the morphology.

Consequently, the size does not correspond to a fixed category.
The main difference between two sizes lies mainly in the length (sleeves, total height), while the width ease remains adaptable.

Thus, for example, a size 44 can also fit a 46 - and depending on the models, sometimes even a 48 - without compromising comfort.

• 52% baby alpaca / 48% virgin Highland wool
• Without Superwash treatment or any other treatment
• Dye-free

Pure, untreated wool garments do not need to be washed frequently.
Wool has a natural self-maintenance capacity thanks to its fibrous structure, keratin and lanolin.

• Routine maintenance (recommended)

- Regular ventilation in the open air (ideally outside, or in front of an open window).

- Rest after each use: hang the garment on a hanger or drying rack, do not leave it in a ball in order to preserve the fiber and its shape.

- Local cleaning of stains under water at room temperature with Ulrich ox gall stain-removing soap or genuine Marseille soap.

• Complete wash (very rare)

- A complete wash should remain exceptional.

- Hand wash only!

- Cold water or water at room temperature.

- Ulrich Natürlich special liquid wool laundry detergent, ideally the version already enriched with lanolin in order to limit the contact time with water and avoid having to do a separate Cure bath.

-Wash temperature = rinse temperature (avoid any thermal shock).

- Do not wring, wrap in a towel to absorb.

- Dry flat, away from the sun and any source of heat.

Fisherman Out of Ireland knitwear is made in the brand's workshop in Kilcar, County Donegal (Ireland), a region historically linked to knitting and tweed. Production is carried out locally, from knitting to finishing, allowing for direct quality control and a fully managed manufacturing process.

The brand works exclusively with natural fibers. This model is made from a yarn composed of baby alpaca and virgin Highland wool, spun in Peru, then knitted in Ireland.

The choice of sustainable animal fibers and a knit designed to last is part of a logic of prolonged use: a garment worn for a long time reduces its environmental impact compared to textiles that are quickly renewed.

Small-scale production and local manufacturing aim to preserve traditional textile know-how while limiting unnecessary industrial steps.

• Is the vest warm?
Yes.
The baby alpaca and Highland wool blend provides cozy warmth while remaining breathable. Suitable for cool temperatures and unheated interiors.

• Does the material make you itch?
Baby alpaca provides softness, but Highland wool offers a slightly more authentic feel than fine merino. Most people wear it directly, but those with very sensitive skin will prefer a thin layer underneath.

• How long can it be worn without washing?
This garment can be worn for one or more years without washing, with simple airing.

• In very cold weather, wearing a Cosilana wool-silk t-shirt underneath is possible to reinforce the thermal layer.

• Avoid using deodorants containing oils (organic or homemade): they can clog the fibers and reduce their ability to breathe, just as some diaper rash creams for babies can clog washable diapers.
If an odor persists despite 1 to 2 days of airing in fresh air, the wool may need to be cleaned.

• This garment should not be machine washed on any cycle. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the garment's size and structure.
Ulrich Natürlich laundry detergent enriched with lanolin is highly recommended.

Ficherman Out of Ireland

Before Fisherman Out of Ireland, there is a much older Irish textile history.

It all began in the 18th century with the wool mills surrounding Blarney Castle. These workshops produced tweeds and sturdy fabrics designed to withstand the harsh Atlantic climate. Wool wasn't a fashion item—it was a daily necessity, a means of protection against wind, damp, and cold.

When the global textile industry became industrialized and standardized, much of this know-how disappeared. But part of this tradition survived: the understanding that a garment must first function before it is decorative.

It was in this context that Fisherman Out of Ireland was born in 1991.
founded by the Blarney Woollen Mills family.

Based in Kilcar, Donegal - a region of fishermen, cliffs and storms - the brand does not seek to reproduce the traditional sweater, but to preserve its logic:

A knit made to live outdoors, last a long time and remain comfortable.

The volumes are lighter, the threads softened, the cuts modernized.

But the original idea remains intact: to create a garment that accompanies real life rather than a trend.

This is not a folk costume.

This is the contemporary evolution of a garment born to survive the climate.
