Wool is one of the oldest fibre types used here at Stanfield’s and one that has certainly proven it can stand the test of time.
To get the longest and most vibrant life out of your wool garments there are some additional steps to add to your normal laundry routine.
In general, we recommend washing in cold water (30°C), laying flat to dry and to reshape the layer(s). This will allow the fibres to recover to their original shape and bring out the best of the natural resilience and spring of wool. Do not bleach your wool.
Once your wool is completely dry, it can be aired out inside or outside for a fresh new start. We recommend gently folding and storing your knitted wool garments in drawers as a best practice.
Your wool can be machine dried but does run the risk of shrinking if done. We always recommend laying flat to dry whenever possible. If you choose to iron your wool, always do it at a low temperature (never exceeding 110°C). For professional dry-cleaning, dry-clean, normal cycle, any cycle other than trichloroethylene.
But what about moths? If you are storing your wool long-term and not using regularly or storing in your daily-use closet, there are precautionary steps you can take to best store your garments. Food stains and body oils can attract moths. Before long-term storage, ensure your garment is clean and always store in airtight bags or containers. You may also choose to apply a moth repellent to your garments but remember not to place them directly on the garment.

Canada CanadaGreat pair of long johns
As a tall (6'4"), slim individual, I really appreciate these long johns. The quality of these is top notch and they are quite warm. The leg length is perfect for me. The fit on the legs is not skin tight for a slim person but I would describe it as a loose (not baggy) fit which is in line with other long johns I've had in the past. The crotch rise is a tad long but manageable. Great long johns.
CanadaWarm and comfortable
My husband is so grateful to be able to get this great long underwear in Tall. Please never ever quit making them.
CanadaOver the years
Stanfield's long John and turtle neck have been with me for 30 some years but the problem was to find them now it's easier with shopping on line
CanadaTall, but also Large
These are a fine pair of medium-weight longjohns. They are sold as "Tall", which is why I bought them. And indeed the extra three inches of length are exactly what this very tall (but slim) person needs. But I was quite surprised that the Medium pair I first ordered was also Very Large! Baggy, to say the least. I exchanged them for a pair of Small (a size I normally never buy), and the fit is considerably better, though still a bit baggy. I suggest that Stanfield's look at the labelling of this product and indicate that this one is both Tall AND Large, and not just Tall. (I will add that the exchange process was efficient and quick. Thanks.)
