$379.00

POL sizing. Small is an AU 10, Medium an AU 12, Large an AU 14. From the house chart.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

Boiled until it felts, 100% merino stops behaving like knitwear. The Wyatt holds its own boxy shape and is warmer than the same yarn would be as a jumper.

Dolman sleeves are cut in one with the body and gathered into ribbed cuffs. A curved ribbed stand collar. A ribbed hem draws the line back in at the hip. A size Small is 58cm long.

In red the jacket is the one piece doing the talking, so what goes under it can be plain.

POL is a Sydney label and cuts in Australian sizes, which are the same as UK sizes. Knits and some tops come in letter sizes instead: an XS is an AU 8, S an AU 10, M an AU 12, L an AU 14 and XL an AU 16. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements.

Choosing between two sizes

POL's chart gives the body measurements each size is built on. The house suggests comparing them with your own. Its models generally wear an 8 unless a piece says otherwise. Any style we know to run differently is noted in its Fit line.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part.
Waist: around the slimmest part of your natural waist, between the ribcage and the navel.
Hip: around the widest part, at the top of the legs.

Caring for POL knitwear

Check the care label first. If a knit is not dirty, air it between wears rather than washing it.

Hand wash in cool water with a gentle or delicates detergent. The house advises against woolwash, which can make dyes run. A little hair conditioner leaves natural-fibre knits softer.

Roll the knit in a clean towel to lift out the water, reshape it while damp and dry it flat in the shade. Never on the line, which stretches it. Store it folded, not on a hanger.

Some pilling is normal on cotton, merino and cashmere, mostly under the arms. Hand washing helps, as does keeping knits away from fleece-lined jackets and rough surfaces. A pilling shaver lifts what appears. Take off jewellery that could snag before you put a knit on.

For everything else, follow the care label sewn into the piece.

Still not sure

We have handled these pieces and can tell you how a particular style sits against the chart. Write to us before you order, or come and try it in Red Hill. The full edit is in our POL collection.

Hand wash cold in wool detergent, or dry clean. Reshape while damp and dry flat in the shade. Never hang it. Fold it away.
