Alpaca wool is amazing! Some people who get skin irritation from merino, can wear alpaca. It's got a higher insulation to weight ration than merino and other common wools. It's incredibly soft, lightweight, and warm. I live in Northern Norway, so the weather is always shite, and alpaca is the best
Alpaca and Mohair were the preferred cardigans of the bohemian Beatniks in the 1950s. They are a pleasure to wear and add texture and tactility to any outfit! As always, love your content.
One thing i will say about Alpaca Wool is that it needs to be handled with care. I bought a pair of 100% alpaca wool pants for my son, they accidentally went through the dryer once and died: shrunk 5 sizes and lost all of its incredible stretch.
@@JamesLeung I don't know what the washing instruction said, but here's a pro tip from someone who's worn a lot of wool and never shrunk it: Always wash it on the cold/gentle/handwash cycle. That means 30 C water and maximum 800 spin cycle. Doesn't matter what kind of wool it is (alpaca, merino, cashmere, regular old sheep) or what it's mixed with; if something contains even a shred of wool, this is how I wash it. Larger items like sweaters are dried flat. Really fancy stuff like pure wool tailored trousers I usually just don't wash unless I drop my entire cup of coffee on them or something; then I hand wash. The thing that shrinks the wool is the temperature and/or the spin cycle, usually a combination of both, which is why wool clothes will shrink in the drier. Heat + friction = felting. Felting = shrinking. So keeping the temperature low and the spin cycle to a minimum is a very safe way of washing wool :) Also wool "sheds" water really well so it doesn't actually *need* more than 800 spins, in my experience. Oh, and this should go without saying, but always use wool detergent! Regular detergent will destroy your wool over time. It doesn't have to be fancy; you can probably find wool/silk detergent at the grocery store. In Norway it's called Milo, and is a household staple. (Whoa, that was an essay! I really love wool and want to make sure no-one shrinks their wool items
I think you might have the pants on the third outfit wrong. I dont think najibasma is wearing the knit twill cargo pants because of the elastic waistband, because he's wearing a belt. The fixed waist baggy utility pants might be the one in his photos. Nice video regardless.
bro i swear you and harry coordinate your uploads hahaha
Haha. We do upload the same time every Sunday, he was doing it way before me though!

Always enjoy seeing what others are doing. Particularly liked Stuccigas style.
Same bro, definitely my favourite of the bunch! Thanks for watching 🙏

Sounds really nice! And I always love the way they look due to that texture. Thanks for watching!
Alpaca Wool is like the love child of Merino Wool and Cashmere...lightweight, super warm and amazingly soft.
Sounds good!! I definitely need to try it
Appreciate what you're doin for the lads.
Appreciate you watching man!

Ahh wool is so difficult to handle sometimes. The same thing happened to my jumper even though I followed the washing instructions!

in regards to the cargos from A&F, I'm pretty sure you're looking at the wrong model, those are the fixed waist baggy utility pant
Ahh that makes sense, thanks for point that out! I’ll update the links
0:53 sorry I’m not wearing woman’s boots 😂😂
Love your hair
Thank you!!

Yeah sorry about that, someone else pointed it out as well. I’m annoyed with myself for getting it wrong! But thank you for letting me know as well 👍🙏
Appreciate yo vids
Thank you for watching man 🙏
Is weekday higher quality than h&m? Didnt know they were the same company.
Weekday is similar in quality (and price) to H&M’s premium range. They do a lot more unique fits and designs as well
Alpaca is super nice 👍
Very interested in trying it out!
The German GmbH is the equivalent of the legal form LLC but I've got no idea why they would call their brands name after a legal form haha
Haha yeah it did seem a little strange to me!! Looks cool on the logo though 😀
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
can’t stop laughing at the way u pronouncing these ig names 😅
Haha my bad!! I knew I’d be butchering them 😭😭
