You don’t need to wash this garment often. We recommend that you wear the shirts and/or Hoodies around 8 -10 times before washing so that they get broken-in to your body shape. Even if you are active and sweating in it, just hang it up. Alpaca does not retain odors and doesn’t support bacterial growth. Since it is an animal fiber, it is susceptible to moth damage, so you will want to store it so that moths can’t get to it just like you would with wool. However, washing will not harm your Hoodie. Regular Fit” Style - Not too snug and not too loose. It looks great and allows for a full range of motion. Natural fibers perform at their optimal level when allowed a little room to breathe.

We work closely with the alpaca artisans to ensure that they get a fair price for their work, and the artisans have the freedom to create unique designs that reflect their culture and heritage. The fabric is very stretchy, so there can be some measurement fluctuations depending on how the fabric is laid out and measured.Alpacas tread lightly on this earth. They have dainty soft padded two toe feet unlike other grazing herds. This helps prevent them from trampling plants and eroding fragile hillside.

Width measurements are made by laying the shirts/hoodies face-down flat on a table and measuring the width in inches from armpit to armpit. The bust measurement is the circumference around your torso, under your armpits. To find the size that will fit you best, we suggest to get one of your garments that fits you well, and measure it as described above, then choose the size that most closely matches.

Alpacas are abstemious and only eat what they need. They consume less than half the amount per day that sheep do and like other camels, they don't need to drink much either!
