"Maison de MaMoulia favorite"

This product is part of my favorites discovered in Germany during my meeting with the Reiff family.

It was carefully selected not only for the quality of its natural wool, but also for meeting the essential expectations:

softness on the skin
natural warmth
modern and timeless design
ease of wearing and pairing
durability for many years
and it is a very beautiful product!

It is a real discovery that joins my personal wardrobe selection, a garment designed to be worn, loved and kept for a long time.

Colors:

Black, Sage green, Aqua green, Forest green, Cherry red, Taupe beige, Terracotta

Sizes:

XS -34, S-36, M-38, L-40, XL-42

Size guide:

Reiff sizes are expressed in German sizes. If you are between two sizes and want a well-fitting garment, choose the smaller size.
Example: I am 177cm tall and wear a French M-38, my size at Reiff is an S.

As this turtleneck is quite loose and wide and not fitted to the body - my size is an XS for this product exceptionally to be able to wear it as a 1st layer. An S would suit me for a slightly looser style. Take one size below your usual size.

Photos/videos: Black XS, terracotta S, sage S, cherry XS, taupe S

Size XL (42 DE) corresponds approximately to a 44 FR or even a 46!

Reiff size	FR equivalent (indicative)
XS-34	36 FR
S-36	38 FR
M-38	40 FR
L-40	42 FR
XL-42	44 FR

About the sizing of wool garments

Untreated genuine wool retains its natural structure.
Unlike fibers stabilized with polymers, it remains supple and alive: the fiber can stretch naturally (up to about +30%) and then return to its shape, without permanently deforming.

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

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

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

• Pure organic merino wool
• GOTS and IVN certified
• Without Superwash treatment or any other treatment
• Wool sourced from a guaranteed non-mulesing production in Patagonia

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 (rare)

- A complete wash should remain exceptional.

- Hand washing is highly recommended.

- 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.

• If you choose machine washing:

To be avoided as much as possible.

- “Hand wash” or “Wool” program configured as follows:

-20 °C

- without spin or 400 rpm maximum

- short cycle (40 minutes maximum)
If your machine does not allow these settings, do not use the machine wash function.

Untreated wool naturally felts under the combined effect of heat, water, and friction. These precautions aim to preserve the fiber's intact structure and natural properties.

The merino wool comes from certified organic farms in Patagonia, guaranteed mulesing-free. After washing, spinning, dyeing, and yarn preparation are carried out in Europe according to GOTS and largely IVN standards. The dyes used are synthetic but selected for their compatibility with ecological standards and are controlled within the framework of textile certifications.

The knitting is done in-house on Stoll machines, then the garment making and finishing are carried out within a radius of about 50 km, ensuring traceability and limiting transport.

Accessories are selected according to ecological criteria: natural buttons (mother-of-pearl, corozo, metal), closures made mostly of recycled plastic and components certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This organization allows for precise quality control and low-impact production.

• Does wool make you itch?
No.
The fine knit is soft, often compared to cotton in feel.

• Can it be worn directly on the skin?
Yes.
The fine mesh is designed for direct wear against the skin.
Depending on individual sensitivity, a wool/silk layer can be worn underneath.

• How long can it be worn without washing?
Dozens of times depending on usage, with simple ventilation.

• Is it hot?
Wool is thermoregulating: warm when it's cold, breathable when it's warm. Adding a base layer of wool or a wool-silk blend is possible in sub-zero temperatures.

• Does wool stretch?
Yes, slightly so with use, but it regains its shape after resting.

• Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, merino wool is finer than a human hair. By maintaining its lanolin, which moisturizes it, you'll have a very comfortable garment to wear.

• 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.

• I highly recommend hand washing to preserve the size and structure of the garment.
Ulrich Natürlich laundry detergent enriched with lanolin is highly recommended.

At Reiff, the story began in 1939 in a small knitting workshop in Gönningen, at the foot of the Swabian Jura. Since then, the company has remained family-owned and has never strayed from its original craft: working with knitwear. Over the generations, the machines have evolved, but the core idea has remained the same – understanding the material before trying to transform it.

The brand initially focused on baby and children's clothing, where skin sensitivity demands real attention. This experience shaped their approach: prioritizing natural fibers, durable construction, and pieces designed for long-lasting wear. Over time, the collections expanded to include adults without altering this initial philosophy.

The organic merino wool comes from certified farms, then continues its journey through Europe before being knitted in their own workshops. The garment making and finishing are done locally, with partners located near the company. This proximity isn't just geographical: it allows them to track each garment from the yarn to the finished product.

At Reiff, sustainability isn't based on an abstract promise but on continuity: the same materials, the same partners, the same time-honored craftsmanship. The garments are designed to withstand everyday wear, endure over time, and often be passed down from one person to another – because a well-made textile doesn't need to be replaced quickly.
