It looks great and allows for a full range of motion. Natural fibers perform at their optimal level when allowed a little room to breathe.

Just imagine, a clothing fibre which is hypoallergenic, weightlessly warm, uniquely soft, biodegrable, recycable and extremely hardwearing (ie it doesn't pill and bobble) .... These garments are generally sized for a normal fit, and not a compression fit. If a more athletic fit is needed, you can go a size down. Peruvian Alpaca is one of the most luxurious natural fibres in the world, supremely warm in winter yet cool and elegant in summer. Our Alpaca fibre comes from alpacas that live in high altitude locations in the Andes Mountains of Peru along with llamas and vicunas, many living free grazing at high altitudes, and also semi-domesticated living on farms. The clean air, richness of flora and fauna, and the unique ecosystem allow Andean species to thrive, and to provide us with the most fantastic fibres in the world.
