Indigenous Hooded Alpaca Baselayer

This is not an alpaca base layer hoodie, it's 100 percent cotton. Most of their stuff is cotton, some of their sweaters are alpaca.

Cotton is no good!

"Cotton is no good!"

My apologies Max. Perhaps I should chill as much as I like to tell others to.

Not that it helps in the least bit…but…I have a Kuhl alpaca wool hoody and it is super warm and comfy. It is, however, zipped and not that light.

I would love to try a pullover, hooded, thin, alpaca "sweater".

Love hooded base layers!

If you are still looking for alternatives you could check the Rab Meco Hoodie – a merino cocona blend.

and there is a Spanish UL cottage maker, As Tucas. I ordered his Schoeller fabric hoodie that was very nicely made, and he gave me great service/was a pleasure to work with.
There is a merino wool version too.

Doug, that wasn't directed at you. I am making light of the Cotton Fear that I, myself, subscribe to totally.

If I'm not out to dinner or at a wedding, I don't have any cotton on.

You wear cotton to dinner and weddings? Philistine!

You know if cotton gets even the slightest bit wet, your body temperature will drop by 10 degrees instantly killing you.
Don't mess around with cotton. Cotton kills.

Its true, i've died at least 5 times so far from wearing cotton and it getting wet.

People, for Gawd's sake, don't mess around.

Anyways, i have some real alpaca sweaters (no hoodies), if anyone wants to temporarily try one out (aka borrowing) let me know.

The Kuhls stuff btw is not alpaca, but alfpaca, which is a blend of acrylic, polyester, and rayon i believe.

Alfpaca, I'm dying.

You try making a sweater outta me and we're throwing down!

.

Well, oh yeah, bring it on, cause you ate both my house cat and my imaginary Schrödinger's cat!

Pfft, forget sweater, i'm gonna make a rug out of you.
