Sizing is done using your classic chest measurement. Due to the chunkiness of the cardigan we would advising ordering one size bigger. Our Founder is a 38" chest but wears a 40" cardigan.
Geelong is a 100% lambswool that is produced in Australia by a specially bred breed of sheep. Only the wool of this sheep from this region may be called the "Geelong" wool. This material is obtained from the first sheer of the lambs, which are not more than 5 months old.
Geelong is an ultra-fine, non-allergenic wool and is considered by many to be the softest lambswool on the planet.
Geelong was originally developed in the coastal town of Geelong in the south of Melbourne (Australia), when the monopole of the Chinese doubled the cashmere price at the end of the 1980s. Geelong offers an alternative to cashmere through its fineness and is one of the highest quality wool types in the world. Since it is a lambswool, it is also more resistant than cashmere. The low micron number of less than 19.5 makes this wool particularly soft.
Each of our Geelong cardigans is made in Scotland to the highest standards and quality from the same maker as our Cashmere Shawl collar cardigans
