The Historically Accurate Way To Wash Your Wool Clothes lol

 

Wow, today I learned.   I dunno how well the delicate knit of the SM1 would hold up to all that stomping, but definitely good to know!

Iirc you're not supposed to wash it. The wool has "self cleaning properties" apparently and while there were instructions on the tag, I'd ignore those. Hand wash it if you really have to - I've done this before for my SM1 before letting it air dry and it came out clean without any fabric fraying or other integrity issues. Still nice and soft, too

this is not the most recent season fwiw

Thanks!  Really appreciate the info!! 

Unfortunately it fell off on a skating trail that makes a 1.5km loop and it took a while to make it back around and locate it.  By then it had been picked up by someone and thrown in a snow bank lol.  I think the self cleaning property is similar to the anti-microbial stuff that merino has, but this is just general dirt and debris.  I'll try the hand wash as suggested and hope for the best.

Does anyone happen to have the wash instructions for the SM1-AK?  The tag was annoying so I cut off the stitches holding it on and put it somewhere for safe keeping.  Apparently so safe I can't find it anymore..

nope, just if there were other things to know from your experiences beside the instructions. I thought i was clear, it seems not

Nope, instructions are all you need.  Washed my P10-E's a few times now as per instructions after some substantial thrashing and they came out perfect every time.  Still water repellant and basically same hand feel as brand new.  Hope they'll work into something a little softer (quieter?) in time though!  Also note that I've been doing what the tags say on all my ACR stuff for years and never had a problem.

J81 still available in XL on the mother site.  IMO it's the natural successor to the 25 and the better jacket of the two (I own both).  Also seems to fit about a size and a half larger than the 25 which might be better for giants..
