Wool & Merino Clothing
The VIKTORIA & WOODS edit of wool and merino clothing brings warmth, softness and structure to refined modern dressing.
Since 2004, merino wool has sat at the centre of our story: a foundational fibre in the VIKTORIA & WOODS wardrobe, prized for its fine hand-feel, natural temperature regulation and ability to hold form through repeat wear.
Inspired by the crisp, shifting mood of Melbourne winters, this collection spans wool coats, jumpers, cardigans and knitwear, bringing versatility to the layered wardrobe whenever the temperature drops.
The VIKTORIA & WOODS Wool & Merino Clothing Edit
Merino wool gives the VIKTORIA & WOODS wardrobe its most elemental form. Finer than standard wool, it sits closer to the skin with a smoother hand-feel, while naturally regulating temperature, drawing moisture away from the body and resisting odour through wear.
These qualities make merino as practical as it is refined: soft against the skin, responsive in changing temperatures and strong enough to return season after season. Guided by our Preferred Fibres framework, the edit reflects VIKTORIA & WOODS' long-standing commitment to responsible sourcing, material integrity and clothing made to last.
Wool & Merino Coats and Outerwear: The Investment Pieces
A wool coat carries the authority of investment dressing: a defining piece in the winter wardrobe. Valued for warmth and the way it sharpens every layer beneath it, VIKTORIA & WOODS wool and merino outerwear edit spans tailored blazers, jackets and longline styles that bring weight and line to cool-weather dressing.
Worn over knitwear, silk shirts or tailored trousers, each merino wool coat or cardigan carries the polish of outerwear built for return, season after season.
How do I wash merino wool clothing?
Every merino wool jumper, cardigan, or garment has specialised care instructions, so you should always check the individual instructions first. Many merino pieces can be cold hand-washed or washed on a delicate wool cycle using a gentle wool detergent. Dry flat in the shade to help protect the fibre, shape and feel.
What is the difference between merino wool and regular wool?
Merino wool comes from merino sheep, while regular wool can come from a broader range of sheep breeds. Merino is generally finer and softer than regular wool. Regular wool can feel thicker, heavier or more textured depending on the breed. Its finer fibres allow merino to create warmth in a lighter, slimmer fabric, making it well-suited to layers and knitwear.
Does VIKTORIA & WOODS offer Australian merino wool clothing?
Yes. Australian merino wool is a cornerstone of the VIKTORIA & WOODS wardrobe and one of the brand’s signature natural fibres. Used across knitwear in Australia, tops and layering pieces, it reflects our long-standing commitment to softness, warmth, responsible sourcing and refined everyday dressing.
