Men's Green Oiled Wool Pelmo Jumper

The Pelmo® Jumper, named after Monte Pelmo in the Dolomites, is crafted in the UK from 100% British Wool using traditional methods, similar to Beerenberg® and Erebus® pullovers but in a lighter knit for year round wear. This unisex jumper features reinforced thumb holes to keep hands cosy and the natural lanolin retained in the fleece helps to shed light rain and maintains warmth even when wet. Its pure Welsh wool is naturally fire-resistant, making it a long-lasting and safe choice. Inspired by Arthur Beale’s legacy with the Alpine Club, it embodies heritage, quality, and resilience for all-season comfort. 100% British Wool As this pullover contains natural lanolins which help it to resist water it is best to wash it as little as possible and since our pullovers are made from wool, they don't hold sweat like man-made fibres so they naturally rarely need laundering as they will stay fresher longer. The lanolin provides the pullover with a fresh wool smell. Traditionally woollen pullovers would be protected from dirt while fishing or working onboard by wearing a simple canvas smock. Arthur Beale stock a range of natural canvas smocks. Over time however you may need to clean your pullover and we recommend the following method. a) Wash in tepid (30°C) water – hot water will lead to shrinkage. Use a liquid soap such as Arthur Beale’s Woolly Wash or a 2 in 1 hair shampoo with conditioner. Immerse the pullover and gently swish and agitate by hand. Leave to soak for 5 - 10 minutes then ball up the pullover and squeeze out the water. Refill with fresh water and repeat until the water is clear when squeezing out. b) Never wring or stretch wool when wet – this will cause the pullover to become misshapen due to the elasticity of natural wool. Just lay the pullover on a clean towel and roll them tightly together to remove the excess moisture without stretching it. c) Dry the pullover flat – do not use the tumble dryer or the pullover will shrink radically. You can buy special mesh trays to help the air flow. Reshape the pullover whilst it is damp, squaring off the shoulders and the welt (waist) A good way to freshen a pullover between washes is to gently steam/press it with an iron on the wool or steam setting.
