What to Look For in Quality Wool Clothing

  1. Fiber Type

    • Merino (soft, breathable, low-pill)

    • Cashmere (luxury, soft, delicate care)

    • Alpaca (warm, lightweight, hypoallergenic)

  2. Gauge & Weight

    • Fine-gauge: sleek, office-appropriate

    • Chunky-gauge: cozy, casual

  3. Construction & Fit

    • Look for reinforced shoulder seams, high-quality ribbed hems, and clean stitch work.

  4. Sustainability

    • Prioritize durable, well-made pieces to reduce waste—brands like Brunello Cucinelli, Unbound Merino, and &Daughter excel here.
