The Mavericks, explained: merino wool tops in blue

The Mavericks is a straightforward idea: a merino wool top in blue. No logo, no unnecessary seams, nothing that dates quickly.

Fit

The shape is familiar and that is deliberate. It reads as a top you have owned for years, not one bought last week.

Fabric

Look closely and the weave is even. merino wool of this quality keeps its shape after repeated washing, which is where most tops fail.

Care

Thirty degrees, mild detergent, no fabric softener. The latter coats the fibres and dulls blue over time.

How to wear it

Wear it with a white tee and sneakers for the weekend, or a shirt and knit for something more considered.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

Consider it if you want merino wool without the price of a designer label, and a cut that will not look dated in two years.
