Got the first one from last season in gray, their wool stuff shrinks a lot after a wash. Mine became unwearable because the sleeves got too tight, I'd recommend to size up/have it fit loose before the wash.

You know that's usually what happens if you put wool in a normal wash, right?
Wool really doesn't need to be washed with detergent in a washing machine unless extremely dirty. If it smells just hang it outside for a day and it will clean itself. Use spot treatments on separate spot or hand wash cold and towel dry. Never hot machine wash.

I know that it's normal and I would never put an expensive knit in the wash. Just wanted to give a heads up cause the washing instructions on mine state "machine washable in wool program", and doing this will turn your cardigan in wool under armour.

I've washed wool, cashmere and alpacca in the machine on the wool program with a wool detergent without any problems.

+1 Just don't machine dry.

And I do prefer handwashing them, but whatever -- sometimes you just gotta do it.

asos, so def no top-quality, but still a super-compressible (you can say it like that right?) water-resistant jacket that still looks cool enough
