WHY NOMADS USE WOOL
To build the Nomad Hoodie we started with the most versatile and natural raw material in the world. For centuries nomads have used wool from their livestock to stay warm and dry. It's soft, elastic, and superb at keeping your temperature stable. It's also naturally water repellent and fast drying. While all wools are known for having incredible properties, we set out to source one of the most extraordinary varieties on the planet, produced on the grasslands of Mongolia.
THE NOMAD HOODIE IS MADE WITH ULTRA-SOFT CASHMERE
Known as 'The Golden Fleece,' cashmere is one of the world's softest and rarest materials. It's not only softer and more elastic than sheep's wool, but it's eight times warmer. Of course it's also much harder to make. While a sheep will produce around 3kg of wool each year, a cashmere goat will only grow about 200 grams. And that's because they only shed their fleece once a year, and the softest fibres are only combed from their underbellies. It takes all the cashmere grown by one goat in a year to make a third of the wool for each Nomad Hoodie.
WE COMBINE CASHMERE WITH LAMBSWOOL
The other two-thirds of the Nomad Hoodie is made with superfine lambswool. Just like cashmere, it's softer, more elastic, stronger and a better insulator than sheep's wool. It's almost as hard to get as well - as lambswool can only be collected once in each animal's lifetime. By combining the lambswool with cashmere we've built a hoodie which perfectly balances strength, stability. softness and comfort. And it's the blending of the two fibres after the yarn has been dyed that creates the speckled texture of each hoodie.
THESE ARE TWO OF THE WORLD'SSOFTEST, FINEST WOOLS
What makes the Nomad Hoodie so soft is just how fine, or thin, the cashmere and lambswool fibres are. The diameter of a wool fibre is measured in microns. The lower the micron count, the finer and softer the wool. For context a human hair is about 70 microns. While superfine Merino wool measures about 18 microns, our lambswool is 17.5 microns in diameter, while our cashmere is just 15 microns.
YOU CAN WEAR IT YEAR-ROUND
The exceptional natural properties of cashmere and lambswool mean you can wear the Nomad Hoodie year-round no matter what the weather is doing. The wool is so soft on your skin that you can wear it on its own in warmer temperatures. When the weather turns colder you can layer under and over it just like a regular hoodie. Or you can carry on wearing it on its own and thed thermoregulating, naturally water-repellent wool will still insulate you from the cold, and keep out the rain and snow.
THE SOFTEST HOODIE EVER BUILT
The Nomad Hoodie is zero effort clothing. Once it's on you simply forget it's there. Not only have we used one of the softest wools in the world, but we've also designed every detail of the hoodie to follow your body so that you never feel restricted. The engineered panels, thermoregulating textures, and crossover collar and hood, let the hoodie quietly get on with its job while you get on with yours. And the natural softness and elasticity of the cashmere and lambswool mean you can stretch in any direction.
