Marais Merino Wool Zip-Up — Light Grey

The one where you can see the knit. A light grey merino wool zip-up in a fine gauge — pale enough that the stitch structure reads as texture rather than disappearing into the colour.

Between the other two

Light grey sits where black is too flat and cream is too much. It carries the softness of a pale colour without the care cream demands, and unlike black it shows the fine-gauge knit that the whole piece is built on — you can see what you paid for.

Layers cleanly under the Sentier Grey Check for a tonal outfit, or over the Saint-Germain tee in black when you want the contrast.

Why merino

Merino fibre is finer than standard wool, which removes the itch most people associate with a wool sweater — this can be worn directly against the skin. It regulates in both directions, insulating when it's cold and breathing when you warm up, and it's naturally odour-resistant, so it goes several wears between washes.

Fit and construction

A clean shoulder and a body that skims rather than clings, in a regular fit that's true to size. Full-length zip to a stand collar that sits properly closed, with ribbed cuffs and hem that hold their shape rather than stretching out by February.

Frequently asked questions

Does merino wool itch?
No. Merino fibre is significantly finer than standard wool, which is what causes the scratch. It can be worn directly against the skin.

Does light grey pill?
Fine-gauge merino pills less than a chunky knit, and washing cold and inside out keeps it minimal. Avoid washing alongside anything with a rough face.

How warm is a fine-gauge merino zip-up?
Warmer than its weight suggests. It works alone through autumn and as a mid-layer under a jacket in deep winter, without the bulk of a chunky knit.

Can I machine wash it?
Yes, on a cold wool cycle. Reshape while damp and dry flat. Never tumble dry — that's what shrinks merino.
