Alpaca pullover for men

The properties of alpaca wool are similar to cashmere and merino. But while cashmere has now arrived in the cheap fast fashion segment, merino and alpaca wool remain premium luxury fibers.

100% alpaca pullovers for men means sweaters that are made from 100% alpaca wool. Large fashion chains often use wool blends for men's alpaca pullovers, with only 20-40% alpaca content. The disadvantage of this is that the alpaca wool can then no longer develop its special warming properties. With us you will find 100 percent alpaca sweaters, we avoid blends entirely.

To ensure that alpaca wool is not cruelty to animals , interested parties should look for seals and certificates that guarantee wool without cruelty to animals. The best-known and internationally recognized seal is the Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS). Similar to merino wool, this was created specifically for the use of alpacas as wool suppliers. At Alpakin, we only use RAS-certified alpaca wool, so you can enjoy your alpaca wool sweater for men with a clear conscience. The same applies to our women's alpaca sweaters and accessories made of alpaca wool.

Animal welfare certificate or not, what is baby alpaca wool? We often come across the prejudice that baby alpaca wool comes from alpaca babies. Admittedly, the name of this highest quality level is not a particularly good choice, because baby alpaca refers to the wool from the protected body parts of adult alpacas. It is softer, warmer and also more expensive because it is rarer. While up to six kilograms of wool can be obtained from an alpaca, only a maximum of 200 grams of this is the highest baby alpaca quality.

Alpaca pullovers delight men with their comfort, softness and warmth as well as their natural, elegant shine. Since the highest quality alpaca wool comes from Peru, the land of the alpacas, men's alpaca pullovers from Peru are particularly popular. Alpaca wool from Peru is known all over the world as a noble luxury fiber that has nothing to hide from cashmere or silk. It is warmer and easy-care, characteristics that practical-minded men particularly value. The entire Alpakin collection comes from Peru; we source our alpaca wool from this beautiful country and have the clothes manufactured there.

Our alpaca pullovers from Peru are not mass-produced products, but are limited in number. They are manufactured according to the most modern standards, which you will notice in the workmanship of the men's pullovers. Alpaca wool is sustainable and environmentally friendly without looking eco-friendly. Our men's alpaca sweaters from Peru in brown and black are the natural colors of the alpacas and do not contain any chemical dyes.

Your men's alpaca pullover is not only a real eye-catcher in terms of its appearance and softness, but is also easy-care. Due to the high self-cleaning power of the alpaca fiber, your alpaca pullover does not need to be washed too often. It airs out well in the fresh air and neutralizes odors such as sweat. Even with frequent washing, it does not lose its special softness because the fiber is robust and hard-wearing.

You can wash alpaca pullovers by hand or in the washing machine. When washing in the washing machine, please pay attention to the following: wool cycle, temperature at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius and no more than 600 revolutions per minute. Use gentle wool detergent but no fabric softener and do not put the alpaca sweater in the dryer or iron it. Alpaca wool does not wrinkle and should be air dried lying down.
