It keeps your body nice and warm, but without the hassle of wrestling with two thick sleeves. The \u003cstrong\u003eROMY CHOCO by KnowledgeCotton Apparel\u003c\/strong\u003e is made of 100% lambswool and has a relaxed, modern fit that is very easy to wear over a blouse, dress, long-sleeve top, or turtleneck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep V-neck gives the vest a lovely open look and showcases the layer underneath perfectly. The warm chocolate color makes it calm, rich, and surprisingly easy to combine. It’s one of those pieces that doesn't scream for attention but saves many outfits in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the ROMY is so great\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 100% lambswool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMulesing-free wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRWS-certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelaxed women's fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDeep V-neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSleeveless design with room to move\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFinished with ribbed cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, dark chocolate color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for year-round layering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA modern sweater vest without the school uniform feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSweater vests sometimes have a rather prim image. ROMY puts that idea to rest quite effectively. The cut is loose and straight, with dropped shoulders and wide arm openings. This creates a modern silhouette that drapes smoothly over the clothes underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep V-neck keeps the look airy and leaves room for a blouse collar, a turtleneck, or a nice neckline. The rib-knit finish at the neck, armholes, and hem adds subtle texture to the vest without making it stiff or overly classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style ROMY CHOCO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a simple daily outfit, wear the vest over a white shirt or a plain long-sleeve top, paired with jeans or trousers. Want something a bit dressier? Combine it with a blouse, wide-leg pants, and leather shoes. Over a dress, ROMY provides extra warmth and instantly changes the dress's silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn really cold days, you can wear it over a thin wool turtleneck. You keep your torso extra warm while your arms retain full freedom of movement. And when it’s not freezing outside yet, a sweater vest is often just right—no \"wearing a coat indoors\" feeling, but perfectly cozy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe color CHOCO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCHOCO is a deep, dark chocolate color with a warm appearance. Less harsh than black and just as easy to combine. It looks beautiful with natural shades, cream, light blue, and denim, but also with rust, olive green, burgundy, or soft pink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid color and calm knit make ROMY suitable for both casual and more polished combinations. Let a contrasting blouse show through the V-neck or keep everything in brown and natural tones for a quiet, tonal look. Fortunately, it doesn't become \"sad beige\"—this chocolate color is much too delicious for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eROMY is designed with a \u003cstrong\u003erelaxed fit\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vest is meant to fall loosely around the body, providing enough room for a blouse, dress, or thin sweater underneath. Choose your usual size if you want to wear it as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoubting between two sizes or prefer a less spacious fit? Then the smaller size might be a better choice. When trying it on, consider what you intend to wear underneath: a thin long-sleeve top naturally takes up less space than a sturdy blouse or turtleneck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e100% lambswool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLambswool is soft, warm, and breathable. The fibers help retain heat but can also absorb and release moisture. This makes the wool feel cozy without becoming clammy. Ideal for a layering piece that you want to wear both indoors and outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow wool feels on the skin is personal. Because you usually wear a sweater vest over another garment, the wool has limited direct contact with your skin. If you are very sensitive, wear ROMY over a blouse, cotton long-sleeve top, or a thin wool-silk camisole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMulesing-free and RWS-certified\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lambswool used is \u003cstrong\u003emulesing-free\u003c\/strong\u003e. The painful practice of mulesing is not applied to the sheep from which this wool is sourced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the wool is certified according to the \u003cstrong\u003eResponsible Wool Standard (RWS)\u003c\/strong\u003e. This standard sets requirements for animal welfare, the management of the land the sheep live on, and the traceability of the wool through the production chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRWS-certified does not automatically mean the wool is organic. We are not making that claim here. However, the label offers independent oversight on key aspects of wool production and the wider supply chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStore your wool knits flat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep ROMY folded and lying flat in your closet. A knitted vest can slowly stretch out or lose its shape at the shoulders due to its own weight if left on a hanger. Hanging it up briefly while airing it out is fine, but for long-term storage, laying it flat is definitely better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for your wool sweater vest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, you rarely need to wash wool. Let the vest air out after wearing, for instance outside in the shade or in the bathroom. Often, that is enough to freshen up the fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIs washing necessary? Always follow the care label. Use a wool wash program at a low temperature, with low spin, and a small amount of suitable wool detergent. We recommend our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLANALICIOUS wool and silk detergent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for this. Do not soak the vest, do not wring it out, and let it dry flat in shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePilling is normal for wool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith soft lambswool, small fuzz balls can develop due to friction, for example along the sides or where a bag rubs against the knit. This is a normal characteristic of wool and not a sign of poor quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k.html\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to gently remove these pills. Lay ROMY flat, hold the knit taut, and use the appropriate fine attachment head. Work slowly and do not press hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about ROMY CHOCO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this vest made entirely of wool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, ROMY is made of 100% lambswool. The wool is mulesing-free and RWS-certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs RWS wool the same as organic wool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. RWS sets requirements for animal welfare, land management, and traceability, but it does not automatically mean the wool is organically certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the vest fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eROMY has a relaxed, relatively loose fit. Choose your normal size for the intended look. If you are between sizes and prefer a less loose fit, choose the smaller one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I wear under a wool sweater vest?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eROMY combines beautifully with a blouse, shirt, dress, long-sleeve top, or thin turtleneck. Thanks to the deep V-neck, the layer underneath remains clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I store the vest on a hanger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably not for long periods. Fold it and store it flat so the knit doesn't stretch and the shoulders retain their shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on the ROMY in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWant to see how the relaxed fit looks on you or try different layers under the vest?
