Arms of Andes Men's Alpaca Wool Hoodie: 230 Lightweight Half-Zip

Product Information

We import our custom-spun yarn from our trusted partners in Peru - made to our exacting specifications. We require our vendors to hold Fair Trade, Responsible Alpaca, and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certifications. Tumble dry your garment on low heat in a small load with other similar items - it will only take approximately 10-15 minutes to dry. Medium to high heat, or drying in large loads with jeans/towels is not recommended. Alpacas are abstemious and only eat what they need. They consume less than half the amount per day that sheep do and like other camels, they don't need to drink much either! Handmade Ethnic Clothing and Alpaca Clothing Handcrafted ethnic clothes for men, women and children We design our own products using state-of-the-art equipment for digitizing patterns and prototyping new products.

Since 2003, Samantha Holmes has been clothing happy customers around the world in butter soft alpaca scarves and shawls, sweaters and cardigans, cosy knitted hats and gloves. Newborn babies have grown up treasuring their alpaca comfort blanket and mothers have saved our alpaca fur booties and baby bonnets as heirlooms for future generations. Each piece is individually handcrafted by our skilled artisans in Peru. Traveling: you can use shampoo, mild liquid dish/hand detergent (just a drop or two) , rinse in a sink, wring out, hang dry or lay it on a towel to dry Alpacas eat very gently. While many grazing animals pull the grass up by the roots with their teeth, alpaca just nibble the tips, carefully leaving the roots intact so plants can regrow. Welcome to Gamboa, the leading online retailer of Alpaca Clothing made from the finest alpaca fabric.Where we bring you the finest collection of alpaca clothing and accessories from Peru and Bolivia. We take pride in offering high-quality and sustainable clothing made from natural fibers of alpaca wool. Just imagine, a clothing fibre which is hypoallergenic, weightlessly warm, uniquely soft, biodegrable, recycable and extremely hardwearing (ie it doesn't pill and bobble) ....Width measurements are made by laying the shirts/hoodies face-down flat on a table and measuring the width in inches from armpit to armpit. The bust measurement is the circumference around your torso, under your armpits. To find the size that will fit you best, we suggest to get one of your garments that fits you well, and measure it as described above, then choose the size that most closely matches. You don’t need to wash this garment often. We recommend that you wear the shirts and/or Hoodies around 8 -10 times before washing so that they get broken-in to your body shape. Even if you are active and sweating in it, just hang it up. Alpaca does not retain odors and doesn’t support bacterial growth. Since it is an animal fiber, it is susceptible to moth damage, so you will want to store it so that moths can’t get to it just like you would with wool. However, washing will not harm your Hoodie.

These garments are generally sized for a normal fit, and not a compression fit. If a more athletic fit is needed, you can go a size down. The women’s cut is slightly shaped. The bust and hip measurements are roughly the same, and the waist is slightly narrower. We source our alpaca wool from the Andean region of Peru and Bolivia, where the alpacas roam freely in their natural alpaca environment, and the alpaca fiber is handspun by skilled artisans. The natural dyeing of alpaca fiber ensures that the color is long-lasting and sustainable, making it an eco-friendly choice.We knit our fabrics and sew our garments in our own North Carolina, USA facility utilizing our Patent Pending process. Discover ALPACA. Combine the above with our simple, timeless design and Eureka! Here at Samantha Holmes, we like to create sustainable alpaca clothing and accessories which will last you for years. Forget recycled polyester, give your cashmere a break and try our alpaca knitwear instead.
