Jan Merino Visserstrui

The Jan Merino Visserstrui is a bold cable-knit pullover with standing collar and smooth zipper. This statement pullover is made for 60% of wool from Dutch sheep, 20% Merino wool and 20% Dutch alpaca wool (for added softness). The cable is typical of the fishing village of Katwijk. In the olden days the pattern of his pullover would tell you where the fisherman hailed from. Knit in Lichtenvoorde.

Beige but never bland. Not dyed but a mix of the natural colours of the wool from Flevolander sheep and alpaca’s.

The Miraculous Micron

Joe uses ultrafine, superfine and extrafine Merino wool for its essentials. The difference is in the micron count. One micron equals one millionth of a metre, and refers to the diameter of the Merino fibre. The lower the micron count, the thinner the fibre, and the softer the wool feels on your skin. The reason? Thin fibres are more flexible, and caress your skin on contact.


Light weight

Joe’s thin pullovers. At 170 to 310 grammes literally lightweight. First level of coziness. The first pullover you get out when seasons change.

Mid weight

A textbook pullover. At 260 to 560 grammes a little heavier and warmer than their thin cousins. Great for autumn and winter.

Heavy weight

Our warmest Joes for when temperatures are at their lowest. At 450 to 950 grammes your Joe turns into your personal heater that will help you through any winter.

Sustainability

Sustainability and Joe go hand in hand. Let us tell you why:

- Joe stands for slow fashion. Meaning we do not bring out seasonal collections, but only styles that will last you all year round for many years. For the same reason we don’t “do” sales and do not keep stocks that must be destroyed by season’s end.

- All our styles are made of Merino wool, if not fully at least partially. Wool is one of the most sustainable materials used for clothing. It is all natural, fully biodegradable, plastic-free and recyclable. And not unimportant – we only use Merino wool produced by non-mulesed sheep.

- When dyeing, we always go for the most sustainable process that uses as few chemicals as possible. Our dyeing process is ‘bluesign’-certified. The lack of chemicals is one of the reasons why our Joes hardly pill.

- All our packaging is made of 100% biodegradable cardboard and recycled and recyclable plastics.

- And lastly: with our fits that are constant and dependable (not so easy with woollen items as you might think) and our smart size calculator we have minimised the number of returns.

What to expect

Comfy warm, hard-wear pullover but with the slim fit that is Joe’s trademark. This pullover does not itch but is not as soft than our regular pullovers. Perfectly paired with a Joe Shirt Roundneck or a Joe Woven Shirt. Your reliable companion during walks, gardening, skiing, around a cozy crackling fire or…. out on the water perhaps?

100% DUTCH WOOL

The Jan Merino is made of a blend of 80% Dutch sheep wool, and 20% Dutch alpaca wool. The Alpaca adds to the softness. With a thickness of 26 micron, the pullover is not as soft as our regular Joes but has a bolder look.

How to care for Merino Wool

Thanks to Merino wool’s antibacterial qualities, you don’t have to wash your Joe very often. Just air your Joe outside for a night, and he will be ready for wear the next day!

Still, we recommend washing your Joe every now and then. You can do this simply and easily on the wool wash cycle in the washing machine (30° maximum, spin cycle no more than 600 rpm).

A word of warning about washing: Don’t wash this pullover all by its lonesome self, but throw in a couple of other wool items. Because of its weight and the low spin speed for wool, the pullover cannot make the necessary RPM and will come out of the washer soaking wet and will take forever to dry. And who wants to wait that long before they can put on their Joe again?

Take a look at the maintenance instructions below for best results.

Take care of your Joe

  1. Woolwash at 30° and 600 rpm max
  2. Use wool detergent, no softeners
  3. No tumbledry (could be deadly)
  4. Dry flat
  5. Iron away with a little steam
  6. No bleach, this will kill the colour
