Not when Fisherman Out of Ireland is involved. The \u003cstrong\u003eTED CHESTNUT\u003c\/strong\u003e is a warm, chunky-knit men's sweater made of \u003cstrong\u003e95% merino wool and 5% cashmere\u003c\/strong\u003e. The chestnut brown color is composed of various shades of brown, rust, and gray, making the knit beautifully heathered when viewed up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTED has the warmth and rugged look of a real wool sweater, but feels softer and more supple due to the addition of cashmere. The straight fit, raglan sleeves, and subtle rolled edges make it relaxed and timeless. It's the kind of sweater you put on as soon as it gets chilly outside and only want to take off once spring has truly and convincingly arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy TED is such a wonderful wool sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 95% merino wool and 5% cashmere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMulesing-free merino wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, breathable, and soft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelatively chunky and sturdy knit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWarm heathered chestnut color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSubtle accents in rust, gray, and dark brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRound neck with a rolled edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRolled edge on the sleeves and hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable raglan sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegular men's fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFits true to size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in sizes S to XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAlso available in the color BLUE BARK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCHESTNUT: warm chestnut brown without becoming old-fashioned\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCHESTNUT\u003c\/strong\u003e is a deep, warm chestnut brown color. The heathered yarn contains various shades of brown with small accents of rust, dark gray, and natural tones. This makes the sweater look slightly different from every angle and highlights the texture of the knit beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis warm brown hue combines easily with denim, dark green, navy blue, sand, cream, and anthracite. Wear it with light jeans for a relaxed combination or with dark trousers when you want to keep the overall look more understated. CHESTNUT even works well with other earth tones without you disappearing completely into the autumn woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSoft due to merino and cashmere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTED is made of \u003cstrong\u003e95% merino wool and 5% cashmere\u003c\/strong\u003e. The merino wool provides warmth, resilience, and breathability. Wool can absorb moisture and retain body heat without feeling clammy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cashmere makes the knit softer and gives the sweater a more luxurious, supple appearance. Five percent may sound modest, but you can definitely feel the difference when you wear the sweater. The result is a sturdy winter sweater with a softer touch than many traditional wool sweaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow wool feels on the skin is personal. Most people will find this combination comfortable, but are you very sensitive? Then wear TED over a thin shirt made of wool, silk, or cotton. You are, of course, also welcome to come and feel it yourself. We personally consider that a perfectly valid excuse to come and pet our sweaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the FISHERMAN TED fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTED has a regular men's fit and fits true to size. Therefore, in principle, choose the size you usually wear. The sweater follows the body without being tight and provides enough room for a thin shirt or top underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe raglan sleeves start at the neck and run diagonally across the shoulders. This makes the sweater drape well and gives you plenty of freedom of movement. The round neck, sleeves, and bottom are finished with a subtle rolled edge, giving TED its calm, unpretentious Fisherman look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock the sweater in sizes \u003cstrong\u003eS to XL\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do you want to wear it deliberately loose or layer a thicker shirt underneath? Then you might consider a size larger. If you are in doubt between two sizes, please contact us or come and try on TED in Rotterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCHESTNUT or BLUE BARK?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FISHERMAN TED is available in two heathered colors:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCHESTNUT\u003c\/strong\u003e: warm chestnut brown with nuances of rust, dark brown, and gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBLUE BARK\u003c\/strong\u003e: deep heathered dark blue with subtle petrol-like color nuances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCHESTNUT is the warmer, earthier version. BLUE BARK looks cooler and darker. The model, material, and fit are otherwise the same. You just have to decide whether your wardrobe needs more brown or blue. That sounds simple, until you see them next to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMulesing-free merino wool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe merino wool that Fisherman Out of Ireland uses for its sweaters is mulesing-free. Mulesing is a painful procedure where skin around the sheep's hindquarters is removed to prevent problems with fly larvae. This treatment was not applied to the merino wool in this sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClothing made of natural materials naturally has an impact too. For us, the value of TED lies primarily in the beautiful quality, the timeless design, and the fact that you won't get tired of this sweater after just one winter. With careful wear and care, it can remain a part of your wardrobe for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat do you do if the sweater starts pilling?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, small tufts or balls can appear on the sweater. This is normal with wool and cashmere. Due to movement and friction, loose fibers come to the surface of the yarn. This may happen more quickly under the arms, along the sides, and in places where a coat or bag rubs against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pull or pick at the pills. You will pull new fibers out of the knit and the pilling can start all over again. Instead, use a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k.html\"\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/a\u003e. This allows you to remove the loose fibers gently. After a few treatments, the pilling usually decreases on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for TED CHESTNUT\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWashing is usually not necessary. Wool is less prone to odors and often freshens up just by letting the sweater air out overnight outside or near an open window. This keeps the fibers looking good for longer and saves water and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDoes TED need washing after all? Use a reliable cold wool wash cycle and a small amount of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.natur-el.nl\/lanalicious-wasmiddel.html\"\u003eLanalicious wool detergent\u003c\/a\u003e. Do not rub, do not wring, and do not put it in the dryer. Gently reshape the damp sweater and let it dry flat on a towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore TED folded in your closet rather than on a hanger for long periods. Due to the weight of the wool, the sweater could otherwise stretch at the shoulders or in length.

No synthetic fibers have been added to the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat color is CHESTNUT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCHESTNUT is a warm, heathered chestnut brown color. Nuances of rust, dark brown, gray, and natural tones are visible in the yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the sweater fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTED has a regular men's fit and fits true to size. Therefore, in principle, choose your usual size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the merino wool mulesing-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The merino wool that Fisherman Out of Ireland uses for this sweater is mulesing-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes TED feel soft?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of merino wool and 5% cashmere gives the sweater a warm, soft, and luxurious feel. How wool feels on the skin is personal. If you are sensitive, wear a thin shirt underneath or come and try on the sweater first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs TED a thin or thick sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTED is a warm, relatively chunky-knit wool sweater. It is not a thin merino top, but a sturdy sweater for cold days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the sweater go in the washing machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly on a reliable cold wool wash cycle and with special wool detergent. We prefer airing it out. Never use the dryer and always let the sweater dry flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on TED CHESTNUT in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to see the heathered chestnut color in real life, feel the merino-cashmere blend, or compare CHESTNUT with BLUE BARK?
