Houdini - M's Alto Crew - Baremark Green

Description & Features

Warm and cozy men’s wool sweater. The technical lightweight fabric in merino wool and TENCEL™ Lyocell is an excellent all natural alternative to synthetic fleece.

Creating multifunctional performance midlayers has always been a Houdini special. This 60% merino wool and 40% TENCEL™ Lyocell crewneck sweater is the alternative to a synthetic fleece if you prefer natural materials. TENCEL™ Lyocell is a fiber made from cellulose that gives the fabric structure and better moisture transmission. Merino wool provides warmth and is naturally odor resistant. The blend is made in 100% natural fibers and the garment is biodegradable as well as recyclable.

Alto Crew is a true chameleon in terms of functionality and style. The fabric has excellent insulation qualities if you wear it as a thermal layer underneath a winter coat or shell jacket, but the open structure will let air flow through to relieve excess heat. This makes Alto Crew a great option all year around, for skiing, hiking, climbing or just to add some natural warmth to your everyday life.

We can highly recommend Alto Crew if you are looking for a warm technical sweater for everything from skiing to hiking or just keeping you warm on chilly days.

Please don’t throw away this garment when it’s worn out. Alto Crew is made from renewable and biodegradable fibers. The raw materials are valuable and can be used again through recycling or composting. Bring it back to a Houdini shop or one of our retailers that has a Houdini recycling unit.

Care Instructions

Wool material

Wool is a fantastic material with natural bacterial and dirt resistance. Therefore, wool does not need to be washed after every use. Frequent washing has a negative effect on the wool's properties and unnecessarily wears down the garment. Instead, air your wool garments to reduce your water usage, save energy and make your garments last longer.

• Use a washing bag to protect your garments.
• Machine gentle wash at max 30 degrees, preferably with a wool program.
• If you can, use wool detergents. Otherwise use mild, environmentally certified detergents and make sure to use the right dose. Select a detergent that has a neutral pH and no enzymes.
• Avoid bleach and alkaline substances that raise the pH value. Also avoid enzymes such as protease or amylase since these can break down wool, which give this material its natural performance properties. This also applies to silk.
• Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
• Do not dry in tumble dryer.
• Shape the garment after washing and lay flat to dry.
• Wool is a natural and living material that can relatively easily be formed. Therefore, please store your wool garments folded and not on a hanger to avoid your garments losing shape.
