The case for the Reserves in merino wool

Reserves · The Merino Pullover

Oct 31, 2026·

The Reserves belongs to the Tops range and comes in dark burgundy. It is merino wool, cut for regular wear rather than one season, which is why the construction matters more than the name.

Care

Wash cold, inside out, hang to dry. Skip the dryer: heat is what shortens the life of merino wool. A soft brush handles most marks.

How to wear it

Keep the palette tight — two tones plus dark burgundy — and the outfit needs no further thought.

Fit

The silhouette is deliberately plain. That is the point: it does not fight a jacket, a knit or a heavier shoe.

Fabric

Made from merino wool, the Reserves resists creasing and holds its colour when washed cold. It feels substantial without being heavy.

Worth knowing

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

Nothing here is designed to impress at first glance. The point is that it keeps working, season after season.
