How do I care for my fleece?
How do I care for my fleece?
Wool does not need to be washed often. It is a naturally antibacterial and breathable fiber: it wicks away moisture and neutralizes odors.
Air it out rather than wash it
If your fleece has no stains, there is no need to put it in the machine. Simply hang it in the open air for a few hours, ideally in a ventilated space. The ambient humidity will help the fiber regain its freshness.
Occasional, gentle washing
If a wash is really necessary:
By hand: soak it in cold or lukewarm water (max 30°C) with a wool-specific detergent, without rubbing or wringing. Press gently so the soapy water soaks through.
In the machine: "wool" or "delicate" cycle, cold, with minimal spinning (400-600 rpm). A laundry bag can help keep it from losing its shape.
Drying without deformation
Never wring it out forcefully, put it in the dryer or hang it up directly, as this would stretch or shrink the fibers. For optimal drying:
- Press the excess water out in a terry towel.
- Dry the fleece flat on a level surface, away from the sun and from any direct heat source (no radiator).
With these simple steps, your wool fleece will keep its glow and softness for years!

TO SET THE NORM, START BY PUTTING ON THE RIGHT FLEECE
A style for everyone
Our Shelter full-zip fleece is designed to be practical and comfortable.
A loose fit for an ultra-comfy, relaxed style, to be worn on its own or over a sweater.
Pockets that close, an elastic drawcord at the waist, a high collar, ... Quality, carefully crafted finishes that make the difference
Its main advantage: the material
Where most fleeces are made of 100% virgin polyester from Asia, ours is made of 71% recycled Italian wool.
But what difference does that make?
On top of being a natural fiber, wool is much warmer and more breathable than polyester.
It retains temperature better, manages moisture better and is antibacterial, so it limits odors.
Comfort, warmth, practicality, impact: there's really no contest, recycled wool wins hands down.
We added a little recycled polyamide and polyester so it holds up well over time. The fleece is therefore 100% recycled, giving new life to existing fibers instead of consuming virgin resources.
Swiss finishing
Okay, that's not true, it's still made in Belgium of course, but you get the idea.
Because a good fleece has to be ultra-functional, we put special focus on the finishes and accessories:
- 2 super-soft front pockets and 1 over the heart, nice and big and with zippers so nothing falls out
- Quality zippers from the most renowned brand, YKK, so you can count on them gliding smoothly
- Sturdy binding at the cuffs, neckline and hem for shape and style
- An adjustable elastic at the waist to adjust the fleece as you like.
- A Tencel lining for a windproof effect and better shape retention
A real cozy nest
As its name suggests, we designed this fleece to be ultra-comfortable and warm.
A warm, breathable, light and soft material, a loose fit that gives total freedom of movement, a carefully designed collar that keeps you warm without ever feeling tight, and impeccable finishes that leave no doubt.
There are a lot of people in this fleece
Our fleece was designed based on more than 300 reviews from our community.
After consolidating all the feedback to design the perfect piece, we ran plenty of field tests and a whole bunch of prototypes to make sure it was flawless.
The result: it brings everyone together.
