The West Ridge Reinforced Jersey with Zip Collar is great for adding additional durability in high wear areas. As with the West Ridge Classic Zip Neck, the generous chest zip allows for excellent ventilation and/or protection from elements, should you need to zip it right up! The absence of a band at the base of the jersey means it won'tt crawl up your back while you are moving and bending.

When it comes to preserving the quality of your wool knitwear, understanding the factors that contribute to fabric shrinkage is crucial.
Wash Cycle Settings Matter
Always wash your wool garments on a gentle wool cycle, rather than the standard cold wash cycle. Most modern washing machines feature a specific wool setting designed to minimize agitation and maintain fabric integrity. Avoid using heat in the water; gentle agitation for a short period is key. For optimal results, consider handwashing your wool items, as it is the safest method for preventing shrinkage.
Drying Your Wool Garments
To ensure your wool knitwear retains its shape and quality, dry it flat in the shade according to the care instructions. Never use an electric dryer, as heat can cause further shrinkage and damage.
Understanding Wool Treatments
The merino wool used in our underlayers is shrink-treated, which helps resist shrinkage during washing. However, the crossbred yarn in the outer layer is a woollen-spun product that cannot be treated for shrinkage and may shrink over time. By following careful washing and drying practices, you can significantly extend the life of your wool garments.
By implementing these tips, you can enjoy your wool knitwear for years to come while keeping it in excellent condition!
