Women's Simple Vest in Merino Wool and Silk

"Very warm and comfortable. Did shrink a little bit each time I washed them, though, so they are now slightly smaller than I would wish. I believe I followed the care guidelines. However, I like them so much that I've just bought some more and am going to try airing them instead of washing them.

If I could change anything in the styling, it would be to have the scoop neck less scooped, i.e. higher and therefore warmer on the chest. No need to hide these vests away, they are charming."

This was washed... Shrank a little bit each wash.

"Thank you for your review. Wool and silk vests do not need to be washed after each wearing, particularly these sleeveless ones, but when they do need washing we recommend washing by hand or in your washing machine on a hand-wash wool cycle as it is the temperature and the agitation that can cause them to shrink. If they do shrink a little then please re-shape them whilst they are still damp - I give mine a really good stretch lengthways so that they keep their length!
Warm wishes, Rosy"

"I wear merino wool and silk vests all year round and this one has washed and worn well. Family members have also had this vest and have had the same positive experience."

"I bought two Engel wool/silk vests about 10 years ago and after years of wear (I live in Scotland) have finally needed replacements. I'm delighted with these vests - more choice of colour now and a generous length to cover hips not just waist. They are soft and breathable and thoroughly to be recommended."

This was washed... I handwash these vests but they dont need this very often as the wool is so natural.

"I wear this vest throughout the year. In the winter I wear this vest with other wool layers on top and the wool/silk leggings underneath my trousers. I first got a vest because I started a job which involved being outside a lot. Now I don't know how I managed before."
