On-Demand Knitting:
All of our knitwear is made on-demand in Brooklyn, New York. We're passionate about being part of the solution to reduce waste, which is why we make our products on-demand. This means that your sweater doesn't sit around for months before it reaches you - we start working on it as soon as you place your order!
Since we're creating each piece just for you, it may take a bit longer to receive your order than with traditional fashion brands. On average, it takes 3-6 days to knit your sweater after you place your order, and then shipping can take 2-5 days. But we promise it will be worth the wait! Our slow fashion approach means you're getting a high-quality product that's good for the planet too.

Fans Rave: Clothes Don't Get More Effortless Than This
"Comfy beyond description"
The yak wool is so soft. I travel a lot and need to pack lightly so garments that can be dressed up, dressed down, etc., is extremely valuable to me. I am a nurse and a ski and snowboard instructor. I wore this sweater snowboarding and I wore it to work, and it served both equally well!

"Phenomenal heat regulation"
By far one of the warmest wool fibers I have worn. I found it to be both quite strong and with an uncanny ability to remain odor neutral. Heat regulation is phenomenal, as is its wicking ability. The design of the garment is strong, so that with proper care it can be worn for years!

What Makes Yak Wool fibers so special?
Extremely fine, luxuriously soft, and highly durable, Yak wool is known for its uniquely powerful insulating properties, while also staying breathable, dry, and odor-resistant.
Yak wool is often considered a sustainable alternative to cashmere. It’s soft like cashmere and easy to care for, unlike cashmere. It’s also 30% warmer and 2x more breathable than cashmere.

How does Yak compare to Merino or Cashmere?
Yak Wool Vs Merino: Yak and merino are extremely similar, yak is almost like a super version of merino. A little more antimicrobial, a little more thermoregulating, a little softer, and a little more expensive.
Yak Wool Vs Cashmere: Yak wool is often considered a sustainable alternative to cashmere. It’s soft like cashmere and easy to care for, unlike cashmere. It’s also 30% warmer and 2x more breathable than cashmere.
Will it pill?
Pilling is the natural process that occurs when the shorter natural wool fibers work their way to the surface of a sweater.
Pilling is normal and expected with any wool piece of clothing, but fear not because there is a tried and true method to manage pilling.
The first thing you should do is wash your sweater after the first 4 wears. Throw your sweater in the wash with a pair of jeans, just make sure to close the zippers. Over time, shorter fibers causing pilling will pull away on their own.
Customer Reviews
It was actually a winter all yak quarter zip and not an all seasons quarter zip but the winter quarter zip was not a choice in the pulldown. That said, noticeably warm. Not as warm as say a Dachstein Boiled Wool sweater but very warm and close fitting. Coupled with a yak wool quarter zip turtleneck base layer and great for skiing or laying around on a chilly day. The sweater drapes and is not stiff or firm which is nice and the information provided in the card about what to expect in the fit was helpful and spot on. It’s soft but mot cashmere soft. Seems like it would stand up to some rough and tumble. Overall, very comfy and a great winter sweater.

My second Oliver Charles sweater. I initially sought out and chose Oliver Charles do to their use of Yak Wool in their garments. I had researched for quite some time about the many positive aspects of Yak Wool but was frustrated in finding a manufacturer in the U.S. that offered a 100% Yak Wool garment, until of course finding Oliver Charles. After obtaining my first Oliver Charles sweater (Winter Cable Knit) and wearing all of the research on Yak Wool performance was found to be true. Yak Wool is by far one of the warmest natural wool fibers I have worn. I found the fiber to be both quite strong and with an uncanny ability to remain odor neutral. Heat regulational is phenomenal as is its wicking ability. The design of the garment is strong and sustainable meaning that with proper care it can be worn for years without losing any of its performance properties.

I'm changing my wardrobe to natural fiber as much as possible. I'm very enamored with merino wool and this yak wool fiber is even better, I needed a sweater in this weight, and liked the color so I decided to give it a try.

The fit is man sizes. Excitement is about the fabric….to find a sweater made of khullu is rare in the USA…Today I appreciate more sweater because I understand all the steps that needs to be done. The brand sound French AND sounds high quality.
Thick like cotton but much more lighter in weight and warmer.

Fit is good, I expected to be lighter in weight but it's ok, love the color but not thrilled with the waffle pattern, I wear it with jeans and also trousers, I decided to try the brand for the sustainability that is advertised. I'm happy with the purchase
