Merino wool is the finest and softest quality of wool. It is lightweight, feels almost like silk,etremely comfortable and can be worn most of the year. Due to the special finishing on this fabric it will also travel very well. The swing is very much back in style reminiscent of the 60’s. The collar on this style is very elegant and the silhouette drapes beautifully especially in this fabric. This is great for the business woman, a luncheon or a TV interview as well as worn casually during the day with a pair of jeans.
