The Hoodie Big Brands Think Is Too Expensive To Make

So we make it anyway. Soft Australian Merino. A relaxed fit. Pockets that actually zip. The lightweight layer you’ll wear on the plane, out to coffee, and everywhere in between. We’d rather make one hoodie you reach for every day than another that sits in your closet.

Why this costs what it costs

Quality First, Always.

When a big brand makes a hoodie, somebody opens a spreadsheet and asks how cheap the fabric can get before customers notice.

We don’t have that meeting.

Woolx started as a family clothing store in 1949. Today, it’s still run by the father-daughter team who transformed that store with a simple idea: make clothing that feels incredible, performs even better, and never cuts corners on quality.

Ryann starts with ultra-fine Australian Merino. Then we add the stretch, durability, and thoughtful details that make a layer worth wearing on repeat. Not just at home. Out in the world.

We’re a family that has to put our name behind what we make, look customers in the eye, and answer the phone number at the bottom of this page. A thoughtfully designed Merino hoodie? We won’t apologize for that.

Comfort without the bulk

The First Thing You’ll Notice Is What’s Missing

The heavy sweatshirt. The stuffy fleece. The extra layer you don’t want to carry.

You leave the house in a chill, step into a warm café, and spend the rest of the morning taking your sweatshirt off and putting it back on. On a plane, you’re cold. At the gate, you’re too warm. Your bag is already full.

Ryann is the layer that makes all of that simpler. Lightweight 210 g/m² Merino helps regulate temperature and breathes when your day warms up. It packs small when you don’t need it.

A full zip makes layering easy. A full hood adds coverage on breezy mornings. Secure zippered pockets keep your phone and keys close. And the loose fit leaves room for the top you already love.

Soft enough for a quiet morning. Practical enough for a full itinerary.

And we’re not just saying that

“This is great for travel, cold restaurants, airplanes, I have worn it everywhere. It’s a nice light weight, the pockets and hood are nice.”

The wool question

Itchy Wool? Think Again.

The wool you remember from an old winter sweater isn’t the whole story. Coarse fibers can feel stiff against your skin. Merino’s finer fibers bend more easily.

We use ultra-fine Australian Merino chosen for softness. Ryann gives you that soft feel in a lightweight layer you can wear over a tee without feeling bundled up.

And when comfort matters all day, the details count: a loose fit, easy stretch, and breathable fabric.

“This hoodie was a perfect middle layer on my trip to Iceland in late August. So soft and comfy.”

“Beautiful color and light weight comfort.”

Who Ryann Is Actually For

Women Who Bring A Layer Everywhere

You’re the one who brings a sweater to dinner. The one who gets cold in the office when everyone else is fine. You want something soft and easy to slip on, without hauling around a heavy sweatshirt.

Ryann belongs by the door, in your tote, and over the back of your chair.

Travelers Who Pack Light

A chilly cabin, a breezy walking tour, a relaxed dinner. You need a layer that works for all three and doesn’t take over your carry-on.

Merino resists odor and wrinkles. Ryann packs small, and its pockets zip shut when you’re on the move.

Women Who Want An Everyday Favorite

Ryann’s relaxed fit and full zip make it easy to find your own way to wear it.

Let’s get it out of the way

Yes, It Costs More. Here’s Why.

Ryann costs $160 in Black. That’s a considered purchase, and it should be.

You’re paying for ultra-fine Australian Merino, DuraLite® fabric, and details you’ll use every time you put it on. The point is a layer that earns its place in your wardrobe, at home and away.

Go read the Ryann reviews. You’ll find customers who bring theirs on trips, wear them through changing seasons, and come back for another color. The value is in how often you reach for it.

“Ryann is my favorite woolx product. I have it 3 colors. This one is paired with a Bella in berrywood. Perfect.”
