Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated: September 14, 2026

1. Sizing and fit

How do Northweft garments fit?

Our knitwear and outerwear are cut with an authentic American heritage silhouette that fits true to size. Detailed measurement tables (chest, shoulder, back length, sleeve) are listed on every product page. If you intend to layer a sweater under an overshirt, choose your regular jacket size.

2. Worsted wool vs standard wool

What makes 4-end worsted wool unique?

Standard woolens use loose, fuzzy woolen yarns that pill and stretch easily. Worsted wool uses long, combed fibers spun tightly for maximum tensile strength. By knitting four strands simultaneously on vintage flatbed machines, we create a knit so dense and heavy it turns aside wind and rain like canvas.

3. Shipping and fulfillment

Where do orders ship from?

All items ship from our facility at 380 Cooley Springs Rd, Chesnee, SC 29323. Orders of $150 or more receive free UPS Ground shipping across the contiguous United States.

4. Payment security

Is my credit card data safe?

Yes. All card transactions are processed through Stripe's PCI-DSS Level 1 certified checkout infrastructure. We never view, store, or transmit your card numbers.
