Size guide

Our pieces follow standard US women's sizing. Most styles come in XS to XL, and some also come in XXL. In short, go with the size you normally wear.

Which size to choose

Go with your usual size. That's the right choice for most women in most of our styles.
Between two sizes? Take the larger one for an easier fit, especially if you plan to layer underneath.
On each product page, Find my fit beside the sizes starts from the size you normally wear, and Fit and sizing shows the size worn in the photos where we have it.

How to measure

Bust: measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level under your arms.
Waist: measure around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
Hips: stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.

Keep the tape snug but not tight. If one measurement falls in a different size from the others, go by your usual size and the fit you like.

Our Australian merino has fine 17.5 micron fibers that feel soft against bare skin. The Woolmark^® label vouches for its fiber content, color fastness and shape retention.
With NATIVA^™, every bale is traceable to its farm of origin, and every farm is mulesing-free.
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) sets clear requirements for how the sheep are cared for and how their grazing land is managed.
Each piece carries the OEKO-TEX^® STANDARD 100 label: every thread, button and trim is tested for harmful substances.

Yes. Tap Find my fit beside the sizes. It asks a few quick questions, starting with the size you normally wear, then suggests a size for this piece.

Where we have it, Fit and sizing above lists the size worn in the photos, so you can compare it with your own frame.

Not if it is cared for well. Wool shrinks from heat and the tumble dryer, so wash it cool, by hand or on a wool cycle, and dry it flat.

100% merino wool, made in a 12-gauge dense knit. You will find every detail under Fabric and details above.

Coarse fibers are what cause itch. Merino is far finer than ordinary wool, so it feels soft against bare skin. This piece measures 19.5 microns.

Every natural knit can pill a little where it rubs, under the arms or along the sides, mostly in the first few weeks. A sweater comb takes it off in a minute.

Less often than you would think: merino resists odor, so airing it between wears is usually enough. When it does need a wash, keep it cool, by hand or on a wool cycle, then dry it flat in the shade. Skip bleach and the tumble dryer.

Fold it instead of hanging it, so the shoulders hold their shape. Keep it clean in a drawer or a breathable bag, with a little cedar if moths worry you.

Good pants

Arrived quickly and well wrapped. Two friends asked where I got them the first time I wore them. Very pleased with them overall.

Good value

For the price they look and feel far more expensive than they are. I wear the charcoal with a cream roll neck and ankle boots, and it looks like a much pricier outfit than it is.

Roomier through the hips than my other merino pants, which I need. XL fits and still looks neat.

4 Stars

I'm 5ft 1 so most trousers are too long, and these were as well, I took L and had to hem them. They wash fine, I used the gentle cycle and they dried flat with no shrinking. I just love how they feel. Four stars for the length.
