Houdini W's Desoli Hipsters

You can rely on nature - that's the idea behind the Desoli Hipsters. The lightweight, soft and comfortable hipsters made of 100% merino wool provides year-round warmth. Use them for skiing, hiking, climbing or any other activity on cool days.

Never underestimate the power of functional underwear. More than 25 years ago, Houdini started as a brand that developed functional underwear for mountain athletes. Today, the products may look different, but the idea is still the same. Your performance level increases when you feel really comfortable - from the first layer of clothing that lies against your skin.

The Houdini W's Desoli Hipsters is made from pure Solid Merino, a super fine merino wool material. The wool comes from Australia and is guaranteed mulesing-free. We never combine wool with man-made fibers. The Houdini W's Desoli Hipsters are made from renewable fibers and are therefore biodegradable as well as recyclable. The cut is close fitting with a comfortable elastic waistband.

The Houdini W's Desoli Hipsters are suitable for various outdoor activities: Climbing, skiing, hiking or icy days in the city. Our Desoli wool series includes hipsters, boxers, tights, t-shirts, crews and zips. Mix & match - just the way you like it.

Care Instructions

Wool material

Wool is a fantastic material with natural bacterial and dirt resistance. Therefore, wool does not need to be washed after every use. Frequent washing has a negative effect on the wool's properties and unnecessarily wears down the garment. Instead, air your wool garments to reduce your water usage, save energy and make your garments last longer.

• Use a washing bag to protect your garments.
• Machine gentle wash at max 30 degrees, preferably with a wool program.
• If you can, use wool detergents. Otherwise use mild, environmentally certified detergents and make sure to use the right dose. Select a detergent that has a neutral pH and no enzymes.
• Avoid bleach and alkaline substances that raise the pH value. Also avoid enzymes such as protease or amylase since these can break down wool, which give this material its natural performance properties. This also applies to silk.
• Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
• Do not dry in tumble dryer.
• Shape the garment after washing and lay flat to dry.
• Wool is a natural and living material that can relatively easily be formed. Therefore, please store your wool garments folded and not on a hanger to avoid your garments losing shape.

Sustainability

Circular

The Circular label means that this product is made either from recycled and recyclable or renewable and biodegradable fibers. Most products in today's society are made in a linear lifecycle, where earth's resources are extracted, used and then discarded. This is not working in the long run and comes at a great environmental impact. Instead, we want to close the loop and reuse the material we already have. But we need your help. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us through the recycling units we have in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Biodegradable

The Biodegradable label means that the natural fibers in our products are never mixed with synthetics, and we don’t use harmful chemicals. Therefore, you can put the fabric in a compost and nature will transform the fabric into fertile soil. Trimmings like care labels, zippers, seams etc have to be removed and can often be recycled separately. If you don't have your own compost, you can return the worn out garment to us. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Renewable

The Renewable label means that the fibers in the garment comes from 100% renewable sources, like wool or cellulose. We only use natural fibers that are produced in environmentally and ethically responsible sources. We use both natural and synthetic fibers, they both have their merits, but we never mix them to ensure a circular product. This means that the fabrics from all our products in natural fibers are fully biodegradable.

Recyclable

The Recyclable label means that the raw material in this product can be used for new products, instead of becoming waste. Our goal is that by 2030, we will take no raw material to our products from the earth's crust. Circular products, made from reycled and recyclable materials are a real game changer, but we need your help for the system to work. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us. We have recycle units in all of our own stores and at many retailers.
