The IRIS from MADNESS sits right in between: sturdy enough to wear as a \u003cstrong\u003etransitional coat\u003c\/strong\u003e, yet soft and supple enough to keep on indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IRIS is made from \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic merino wool (kbT)\u003c\/strong\u003e, is GOTS-certified, and the wool has been boiled. This creates that beautiful, compact wool fabric that you can clearly see in the detail photos. And it is \u003cstrong\u003eMEGA soft\u003c\/strong\u003e. It's truly the kind of coat you’ll automatically keep running your hand over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have it in two amazing colors: \u003cstrong\u003ebright green\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edark blue that leans slightly towards petrol blue\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is the MADNESS IRIS such a great wool coat?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it actually fulfills two functions at once. On crisp autumn and spring days, you can wear it outside as a coat. If it gets colder, it’s wonderful as a warm wool cardigan under a roomier winter coat or just for wearing indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe high knitted collar, wide knitted cuffs, and soft boiled wool make it lovely and cozy. And fortunately, it also has \u003cstrong\u003epockets\u003c\/strong\u003e. Because a coat without pockets... well, we don't have much use for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e100% organic merino wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eBoiled wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eWool from certified organic animal husbandry (kbT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eGOTS-certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eMega soft and warm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eOversized fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh knitted collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eWide knitted cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eHandy side pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-way zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be worn as a cardigan and a transitional coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in bright green and dark\/petrol blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the MADNESS IRIS fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoomy. Really roomy.\u003c\/strong\u003e This model is intentionally designed to be oversized, with dropped shoulder seams and plenty of room around the body and arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI am wearing a size 40 in the photos\u003c\/strong\u003e, and as you can see, there is quite a bit of room in it. If you want to wear the style comfortably oversized, stick to your own size. If you prefer it less roomy, you can certainly consider sizing down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, that extra space is exactly what makes the IRIS so great as a transitional coat: you can easily fit a sweater underneath without feeling like you can barely move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat actually is boiled wool?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoiled wool – also known as \u003cem\u003eboiled felt\u003c\/em\u003e – is created by subjecting knitted wool fabric to heat, moisture, and movement. This causes the wool fibers to interlock, making the fabric more compact and sturdier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a warm, breathable wool fabric that holds its shape beautifully while still remaining flexible to wear. And because wool is naturally temperature-regulating, this coat provides lovely warmth without feeling like you’ve wrapped yourself in a synthetic sleeping bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the MADNESS IRIS a coat or a cardigan?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoth.\u003c\/strong\u003e And that is really the charm of this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn autumn and spring, the IRIS is a fantastic wool transitional coat. On colder days, you can wear it as a thick cardigan. Are you hitting the road in the car, cycling into town, or just someone who gets cold easily indoors? Then this is the kind of garment you'll find yourself reaching for constantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IRIS is unlined, which makes it feel much more flexible and cardigan-like than a traditional winter coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy does this wool coat have a two-way zipper?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s one of those details you only realize you need once you have it: the zipper can be \u003cstrong\u003eopened from both the top and the bottom\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUseful when cycling, in the car, or when sitting down. You can open the bottom slightly while the coat stays closed at the top. And because the zipper opens all the way, you can easily wear the IRIS as an open cardigan too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is kbT merino wool?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe abbreviation \u003cstrong\u003ekbT\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for \u003cem\u003ekontrolliert biologische Tierhaltung\u003c\/em\u003e (controlled organic animal husbandry). This means that within the organic production chain, requirements are set regarding the way the sheep are kept and cared for, among other things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IRIS is also \u003cstrong\u003eGOTS-certified\u003c\/strong\u003e. This certification looks not only at the organic fiber but also at multiple steps within the processing and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich color IRIS should you choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBright green\u003c\/strong\u003e if you think a coat deserves a little color. It’s such a clear, rich green that even with just jeans underneath, your entire outfit is ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edark blue\u003c\/strong\u003e version is more subdued, but definitely not boring. The color has a petrol-like quality, making it a bit more interesting than standard navy blue. Very easy to combine with denim, gray, neutrals, greens, and practically half of your wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you care for a boiled merino wool coat?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important advice: \u003cstrong\u003ewash as little as possible.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wool naturally resists odors, and airing it out outdoors is often sufficient. Small stains are best treated locally and with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes the IRIS need a full wash? Always follow the care label and handle wool gently. Use only a suitable wool detergent, such as our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003eLanalicious wool detergent with lanolin\u003c\/a\u003e, and let the coat dry in its original shape. Never put wool clothing in the dryer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, check out our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MGTNuZCUOMo\"\u003ewool washing video\u003c\/a\u003e and read the washing guide that comes with your order carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCan boiled wool pill?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven with high-quality wool, some pilling can occur over time due to friction, for example under the arms or in areas where a bag rubs against the fabric. This is a natural characteristic of wool fibers and is easy to manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k\"\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/a\u003e, you can gently remove any lint or pills. Especially for a coat you plan to wear often, we consider this an essential item to have at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the MADNESS IRIS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the MADNESS IRIS fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IRIS has a \u003cstrong\u003every roomy, oversized fit\u003c\/strong\u003e. I am wearing a size 40 in the photos. If you want it less oversized, you can consider sizing down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the MADNESS IRIS made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic merino wool (kbT)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wool fabric has been boiled\/felted and feels wonderfully soft and compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MADNESS IRIS GOTS-certified?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the IRIS is GOTS-certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the IRIS suitable as a winter coat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe see it primarily as a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm transitional coat or a thick wool cardigan\u003c\/strong\u003e. How long you can wear it outside as a coat depends, of course, on the temperature, what you wear underneath, and how easily you get cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the IRIS have pockets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, there are two nice side pockets on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the advantage of the two-way zipper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also open the coat from the bottom. This gives more freedom of movement while cycling, driving, or sitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes boiled merino wool itch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool of the IRIS feels \u003cstrong\u003eremarkably soft\u003c\/strong\u003e. Sensitivity to wool is subjective, so if you are very sensitive to itching, we recommend coming to our shop to feel and try it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt's that type of coat where you think in October: \"Great for outside.\" And then in January, you realize you're still putting it on indoors too.\u003c\/strong\u003e That’s the IRIS. Warm, soft, roomy, practical, and made from 100% organic merino wool. As far as we’re concerned, it’s exactly what a good wool transitional coat should be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madness","offers":[{"title":"34","offer_id":54764545474899,"sku":null,"price":229.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"36","offer_id":54764545507667,"sku":null,"price":229.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"38","offer_id":54764545540435,"sku":null,"price":229.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":54764545573203,"sku":null,"price":229.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"42","offer_id":54764545605971,"sku":null,"price":229.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"44","offer_id":54764545638739,"sku":null,"price":229.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/6525\/7043\/files\/madness-wollen-jas-gekookte-wol-biologisch-met-rits-duurzame-mode-rotterdam-groen-5.jpg?v=1787926117","url":"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/en\/products\/madness-vest-jas-iris-green-van-gekookte-wol","provider":"Natur-el","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
