»Baseball Bordeaux« Baby Alpaca Sweater
N° CKG2

As a subtle nod to the American Ivy League Style, the 100% Baby Alpaca »Baseball Bordeaux« Sweater for women by REH (GERMANY) in Navy-Ecru celebrates team spirit through uniform sportswear. Dating back to the creative educational institutions like the Bauhaus in Germany (1919) and later the Black Mountain College (1933) in the USA, a timeless style emerged among students. In the 1960s, this unisex aesthetic reached its peak with the American counterculture and challenged the hierarchical dress code of Ivy League College students. Through commercial advertising, popular culture, and industrial manufacturing, this way of dressing became a global phenomenon. The modern »Baseball Bordeaux« Sweater with casual and comfortable raglan sleeves embodies universal, timeless, and gender-neutral clothing suitable for all age groups and people.

• Contrasting raglan sleeves in navy
• Bicoloured design
• Round neckline
• Natural elasticity through jersey knit
• Thermoregulating
• Allergy-friendly

To ensure the longevity of our 100% natural alpaca knitwear, please follow these easy care instructions:

Avoid Washing

• Alpaca knitwear naturally neutralises odours, so washing is not necessary.
• Instead: Steam or steam iron the alpaca knitwear regularly
• Air by the window
• Hang in a steamy bathroom
• Place it in the freezer
• Use Organic Dry Cleaning Services

If Washing is required

• Hand or machine wash with cold water (30°C).
• Use organic Wool Detergent
• Lay flat to dry
• Avoid wringing
• Do not tumble dry

Stain & Pilling Removal

• Use Organic Dry Cleaning Services
• To treat stains, gently spot clean using palm oil free curd soap/ vegan gall soap and a damp cloth.
• Note: It’s important to thoroughly rinse out all the soap residue using water and a clean cloth, as any remaining soap can potentially cause additional stains
• Pilling refers to the formation of fiber nodules on the textile surface, typically occurring in areas with friction, such as where the arms touch the upper body or on the lower back. It takes a long time and a lot of friction for pilling to form on alpaca knits. Compared to finer Baby Alpaca knits, 100% alpaca is much less prone to pilling. It’s recommended not to use a pilling shaver too frequently.

Storage

• We recommend storing this knit piece flat or folded over the crossbar of a hanger
• The sweater is delivered in a storage box, which can be optionally used for storing

Repair

• • Avoid sharp edges and velcro fasteners to prevent threads from being pulled
  • If a thread is pulled, you can use our knitwear repair needle, in order to easily pull back the yarn to the back side of the knit piece or towards the interspace of the reversible knitwear.

• The model is wearing size S. The corresponding womenswear size ranges from EU EU 36-40, UK 8-12, US 6-1.
• Although the sweater is free of elastane, the 100% natural jersey rib knit technique provides extra elasticity, compared to the jacquard and reversible doubleface knitwear.
• Thanks to its natural elasticity, the sweater can expand by up to 1.0 cm, therefore you may opt for one size smaller.

Note: Slight variations are rare, but they can occur due to production tolerances.

Inspired by AYUDAME Kinderhilfswerk Arequipa e.V.’s willingness to help, for every knitwear piece you purchase exceeding a value of 200€, we will donate 5€ to the non-profit organisation AYUDAME Children’s Aid Arequipa e.V. at the end of each year.
