Money was tight when i was growing up. Mean girls teased me because I didn’t have the latest trendy clothing. Also, I wore a lot of hand me downs that were from my older brothers. I was shamed on a regular basis. As a result, once I had money of my own, I overspent it on clothing. I eventually buried myself in clothing. I didn’t want to be that girl who wasn’t dressed appropriately or that girl that could be pointed at and teased, I have now learned that the world is drowning in clothing. I have learned that we have unsustainable practices. I have learned that our landfills are filled with clothing and we are destroying local economies by shipping them our castaways. I am trying to do better. With the exception of technical gear, I purchase the vast majority of my clothing used. I took applied to be a field tester and took this challenge because I believe in this company and what they are trying to do. I thought it was a cool idea and if I got a sweater out of it, great. I didn’t realize what an insanely incomparable garment I was going to end up with. This Winter V Neck sweater was worn for seven days , and it was an easy task . The color, called rust, went with everything I own. The yak wool is soft and the sweater is comfy beyond description. I travel a lot and I need to pack pretty lightly so to have a garment that can be dressed up, dressed down, alternately worn for hiking or worn to a restaurant, 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. Who would I recommend this sweater to? I would recommend this sweater to anyone unreservedly.

A perfect fit, and feel. I love the color and the weight of the material. I wear it with jeans, outdoor hiking pants, and casual pants. It's very versatile. I love that it's made from Yak hair!

I love the idea of temperature regulating and fresh smelling yak wool. I am trying to cut down on the amount of clothes that I buy that end up being donated because they no longer look right on me or are not comfortable. I am fascinated with the technology being used to make these sweaters. I have gotten personal replies from one of the founders, Slater for an email I had written. He actually updated me on my sweater's production on Christmas day! Now, that's customer service.

This is a nice sweater well suited to business casual because of refinement, hand, and weight. Small details like a lack of seams is nice. i’ve only had this for around a month so it’s hard to provide a long term review. thus far i am pleased.

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.
Oliver Charles sweaters can last a lifetime, which matters because by wearing our clothes for even 9 months longer, our individual carbon footprint can be reduced by 30%, equivalent to removing half a million cars off the road per person per year.
If your sweater becomes damaged from holes or snagged threads, send it back and we'll restore it to the best of our abilities.
Our return and exchange policy lasts 30 days. To be eligible for a return, your item must be undamaged and in the same condition that you received it. Exchanges are subject to availability.
For orders below $200, please note that shipping fees from Oliver Charles to our customers are non-refundable. However, in the event of an exchange or return, we've got you covered! Return shipping for exchanges or returns is pre-paid, so you won't have to worry about additional costs.

One of the most important factors that affects the way wool feels is the fiber fineness. Thinner diameter fiber is softer. While a human hair has a average diameter of 75 microns (µm), the yak wool (AKA "khullu") we use in our sweaters is ultra-fine at 17.5µm.
Wools that are generally considered "soft" have a fineness <20µm. Although, at the end of the day, you know best, so try new materials at different levels of fineness and decide what you like wearing most. If you find a wool sweater you love but find slightly itchy, note that fine wools, like khullu, get softer with washing.
Wicking is an important benefit of wool, because in order to regulate body temperature, humans can sweat several liters a day. All this sweat can get pretty smelly right? In fact, sweat only becomes odor if it isn't wicked away. Wool has a number of unique moisture management properties that allow it to resist body odor making it ideal for #repeat wear and simplifying your life.
1) Saturation regain: wool can absorb and retain up to 35% of its own weight in moisture and still feel dry to the touch, which reduces sweat buildup and discourages bacterial growth.
2) Isolation of bacteria: after sweat is absorbed from the skin's surface it travels outwards where it evaporates. In the process, wool actively binds and isolates bacteria within it's fiber. The isolation of bacteria reduces odor to the point where unwashed wool has 66% less odor intensity than plastic-based fibers and 28% less than cotton fabrics (Woolmark).
Fun fact: bacteria thrive in humid environments, where sweat is trapped instead of being wicked away. For example, while a 1x1cm area on a human forearm contains around 100 bacteria, an identical square in the armpit contains on average 10 million bacteria (Popular Science).
We make our sweaters from yak down, which is the hair they shed naturally in the spring, all the herders do to collect it is simply brush the animals.
Our sweaters are made in Brooklyn, New York by Tailored Industry. We work with them to create our sweaters through a new manufacturing process called WHOLEGARMENT® 3D-knitting.
We chose Tailored Industry vs. other WHOLEGARMENT® manufacturers in part because of their brand vision. They want to become a platform for on-demand knitwear. We're hoping we can grow together, create all kinds of custom sizes, and eventually remove the need for inventory completely.
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.
No. Hand wash your 100% yak wool sweater and lay flat to dry.
