Women's Simple Vest in Merino Wool and Silk

"I purchased a couple of your Engel merino wool and silk vests in the hope that they would keep my (not well) back warm without adding too many apparent pounds around my middle. The parcel was obviously despatched, with care, on the next working day, and arrived today (the following day). To say I am delighted, both with the product and the service, is an understatement. The items were beautifully wrapped, my request to the delivery person was hand-written on the outside of the parcel, and I was delighted to receive the paperwork on a pale-hued, recycled paper, which was more than adequate for its purpose and very 'green'. The vests are perfect, thin without being flimsy, but well able to conserve some body heat where it is needed, whilst wicking away any moisture so that my skin remains warm and dry. The natural colour is perfect for everyday (I have ordered two more, just on be on the safe side), and the orchid vest is a perfect colour to wear as an evening camisole under a stylish bl"

"I actually purchased this little vest top to wear in the summer with a smart skirt or trousers and also wear it in the winter as an extra layer under a sweater it is so soft and the colours are beautifull. I love these tops as they are so much more than underwear!"

This was washed... Rarely needs washing but hand wash in cold water and Ecover delicate and dare i say a very short spin

This was worn by... Active wool loving mum and Nan

"I love this vest. I brought it becasue I already had a lacy one that I love. It hugs and moves with you and is so breathable that you can wear it in all temperatures. Great to sleep, run and lounge about in.

I brought some for my friends and mother in law and they all love them."

This was washed... Yes washes fine on a wool wash but I have shrunk one on a hot wash. Air it outside to freshen it up, then there is no need to wash so often.

This was worn by... I hate been hot so was surprised how much I liked this, my mother in law hates been cold and she loves it too.

"I bought the mulberry one last year in the spring.Wore it as a warm vest initially. In the summer wore it as a smart top and also took it to Florida and the Caribbean recently and wore as a t shirt with linen skirt and trousers.In 30c and high humidity I found it more comfortable against me than a cotton t shirt as it never felt damp."

This was washed... I dare hardly reveal that I have only handwashed it once after about 9 months of wear, though I always peg my woollens out on the line regularly. I think it has shrunk up a tiny bit but hardly noticeable and I often find woollens tend to grow again a little with wear

Sizing: Feels true to size

I'd recommend this to a friend.

"I really love this vest. It is very comfy and really easy to wear under most other tops, keeping me lovely and warm. Also the arm holes are quite low so it doesn't need washing too often."

This was washed... I have a great washing machine with a handwash wool cycle so I just chuck it in there and then stretch it lengthways a little before hanging it up to dry.

This was worn by... I work very hard in a shed which is freezing cold in winter, so I need all the extra layers I can get!!
