Garment measurements

The piece itself, laid flat. Body length runs from the highest shoulder point to the hem.

Garment	XS	S	M	L	XL	2XL
Body length	67	68.5	70	72	75	77.5
Chest width	46.5	49	51.5	54	56.5	59
Sleeve length	41	42	43	44.5	46	47

The cut is close and clean rather than boxy, so between two sizes we would take the larger. It keeps the line through the shoulder without pulling across the chest.

Description

Cable knit done properly. Narrow braided cable columns run the full body and both sleeves, separated by flat knit panels, each twist worked on the machine rather than embossed into the surface. The result has real depth and holds it wash after wash.

Knitted on a 9 gauge machine from 17.5 micron superfine merino at 300gsm. Warm enough to be the only layer you need in autumn, fine enough that it never reads bulky.

Fully fashioned cable: every twist knitted in, so the texture is structural rather than surface
Ribbed crew neckband: sits flat at the base of the neck and keeps its shape
Ribbed cuffs and deep hem band: holds the line at both ends, no dropped hem
Naturally odour resistant: merino's antimicrobial structure means multiple wears between washes
Thermoregulating: warm without overheating, works across a wide temperature range
Softer than it looks: 17.5 micron sits against skin with no prickle

Available sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL

Care

Air it first. Merino clears odour on its own, so hanging a garment overnight usually does the work a wash would. Most pieces need washing a fraction as often as cotton.

When it does need washing, use the wool cycle at 30°C or cooler with a detergent made for wool. No bleach. No fabric softener, it coats the fibre and takes the odour resistance with it.

Never tumble dry, the heat and agitation felt the fibre and it does not come back. Do not wring. Press the water out, reshape while damp and dry flat, away from direct sun and radiators.

Fold knitwear rather than hanging it, a hanger stretches the shoulders over time. Store it clean, moths are drawn to worn wool rather than washed wool.

A little pilling on a new knit is normal and stops after the first few wears. Take it off with a wool comb or a fabric shaver rather than pulling it.

Wears for days
Warm and cool
Dries overnight
Sheds its creases

One fibre. Fewer clothes.

Merino resists odour on its own, so a shirt goes days between wears without a wash.
The fibre regulates to your body rather than the forecast, so one weight covers more weather.
It moves moisture as vapour before it turns into sweat, so it dries quickly and never clings.
17.5 micron, finer than a human hair, which is why it sits against skin without prickle.
It packs down small and drops its creases overnight on a hanger.

Where the wool comes from

Our fibre is grown in Australia, where around eighty percent of the world's finest apparel wool comes from. Generations of breeding for fineness rather than volume is the reason, and no other country has caught up.
We buy at 17.5 micron. Finer wool costs more per kilo and there is no way around that, which is why a lot of what gets sold as fine merino sits nearer nineteen.
Spun and finished in Italy, in mills that have worked fine wool for longer than most countries have made clothing.
Cut and made in Italy, in the same small number of factories every season.
We make one range and repeat it. No drops, no seasonal colours, nothing you cannot replace in a year.

Reviews

I love Bello Merino and have a few items. So soft, warm and cooling at the same time. Thank you very much.
Chris Lindqvist, Seattle, WA
I don't really have specifics. I enjoy the quality of the product, and purchasing is smooth.
Daniel Okafor, Atlanta, GA
I love the trousers that I got, and I wear them every time I go out. They look great, are very comfortable, and they don't get stinky, which means I can go longer without looking for a laundromat.
Ben Hartley, Denver, CO Merino Trousers
I ran into a problem with my original order but customer service went above and beyond to make it right. The replacement item is perfect.
Anthony Rivera, Austin, TX
Great quality, soft merino. The tall sizes are what really does it for me.
