Crew Neck Vintage Nep Knit

This is an 80s vintage wool knit made in Ireland with a deep green base and a scattering of colorful mixed colors, giving it a fantastic vintage feel.

This is a luxurious double-zip cowichan made of 100% British wool (Shetland wool).

Sheep raised in the harsh coastal environment, where the temperature changes greatly and the humidity is high, have their wool strengthened to protect their bodies, making it excellent in cold protection, durable, and elastic. The material born in this limited environment is rare and its cost has been rising year by year, attracting attention as a high-class material.

Genuine Shetland Islands wool is a natural material that has evolved in a special environment, so it may feel scratchy compared to other wools, but this is a luxurious characteristic of being natural.

Nep fabric is a fabric that has irregular knots and lumps formed by tangled fibers of yarn. Because the thickness and length of the yarn are uneven, the surface of the fabric has a spotty pattern and small clumps of fibers. Nep does not indicate a deterioration in quality, but rather is proof of a natural material, and creates a rustic and warm texture unique to the material.
