"Love the warmth-to-weight ratio in this! If you're looking for a regular fit, I’d recommend going one size up from your usual.""

Tom

"By far the most versatile shirt - I wear it jogging, at work and on ski trips. And the skin feel is something I've never experienced in other clothes""

  • XXL

Zegelius

"Absolutely incredible product! Lightweight, yet warm and really comfortable to wear. I originally intended to take this shirt on my summer hiking trips, but it has already become my go-to for everyday wear. The sizing is also great. I’m 193 cm tall and weigh about 108 kg (wearing size XXL). Often, the hem or sleeves of shirts end up being too short, but in this 'royal' alpaca shirt, the length is just perfect."

100% Alpaca Hoodie — Vaeltaja

The kind of top you buy for the cold and find yourself wearing more than you expect.

Made from 100% royal alpaca, it’s warmer than standard wool without the weight, and breathable enough to wear all day without overheating.

It handles cold mornings, damp air, and long wear without turning clammy or holding odour. That means no itchiness, no weight and no reason to have a second thought.

The fit is simple and deliberate, with a close hood, high collar, and thumbholes that stay put when you move. It layers easily, packs small, and works across seasons.

Built for conditions most people would rather avoid — it works wherever you are.

Your Questions, Answered Simply

Why is it more expensive than a regular hoodie?
 

Because it isn’t a regular hoodie.

Alpaca fibre is warmer, lighter, and more durable than standard wool or cotton. It also resists odour and doesn’t need frequent washing, so you end up wearing it more, for longer.

Will it feel itchy like regular wool?
 

No.

Alpaca fibres are smoother than sheep’s wool and don’t contain lanolin, which sometimes causes irritation. Most people can wear it directly on skin without any issue.

How warm is it if it’s so lightweight?
 

Warmer than it looks.

Alpaca fibers trap heat efficiently without adding weight, so you stay warm without overheating or feeling weighed down. Alpaca has the best weight to warmth ratio!

Does it smell after multiple wears?
 

Not easily.

Alpaca naturally resists odor, so you can wear it for a long time before it needs washing. Most of the time, airing it out is enough.

Can I wear it year-round?
 

Yes.

It keeps you warm in the cold, but stays breathable when temperatures shift. Works on its own or layered, depending on the season.

How do I wash and care for it?
 

Wash it on a wool cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent.
Air dry only.

But you won’t need to do this often.

What if it doesn’t fit or I don’t like it?
 

Shop with total peace of mind. We offer a 100-day trial period. If it doesn’t fit or you’re not feeling it, we’ve got you covered. All exchanges are free. For returns, a shipping fee will be deducted.

Warm when it matters. Light the rest of the time.
