We worked hard to design you a jumper that doesn’t come out in a kiddie size after the first wash. However this doesn’t mean you don’t have to take care, it’s wool after all. The best option is to either hand wash it at 40°C max, or machine wash on a cold setting or at 30°C max inside a net on a wool or cotton program at a 400rpm spin-program. If you want to bolster the softness of your jumper you could add a teaspoon of softener.

Please don’t put the jumper in the tumble dryer. We strongly recommend that you let your jumper dry in the open air laid flat away from direct sunlight. NEVER use a hanger as when wet the weight of the water in the jumper risks pulling it out of shape. There’s some cool stuff out there to help you dry your jumper if you hit the web.

Wool is an incredible material: it's naturally antibacterial and doesn't retain odours. This means you won’t need to wash too often. Instead, air it out regularly after each wear for a few hours and it'll be as fresh as ever.

Ironing is a good way of keeping your jumper looking like new after each wash. Use a medium heat setting at 150°c (as the max heat will scorch the wool and too low won’t make a dent) with a little steam. The jumper’s ok with that.

Since 1 January 2024, the New French environmental legislation known as The AGEC Law stipulates transparency from our lot in the fashion industry so that you can make an informed purchase. As you can imagine, this is something that we fully support at Asphalte. So here's some additional information about our V-Neck Jumpers:

• It’s 100% recyclable after being dismantled, which means that the day its services are no longer required every component can be fully recycled. If you stop wearing it for whatever reason, you might want to consider making someone else happy by passing it on to a friend, family member or donating it to a charity. The best way of reducing an item of clothing’s impact is by keeping it in circulation, and only recycling it when there really is no life or use left in it.
• No microplastics are released during washing. Unlike many garments, our V-Neck Jumpers have been designed to not release any microplastics. Plastic microfibres are tiny particles of plastic that are released when worn or washed and have a negative impact on aquatic and land ecosystems.
• They do not contain any hazardous materials. They’re manufactured in compliance with strict standards aimed at eliminating the use of harmful substances and other chemical nasties.
• They do not contain any recycled materials. We try to incorporate recycled materials whenever we can, unfortunately, it hasn’t been possible to do so with the V-Neck Jumpers.

We hope that we’ve hit most of your questions here, if not reach out to us at support@asphalte.com. You can also keep up to date with goings-on and new products on our Instagram page or our site.
