EGi Wool & Silk vs MicroWool: Materials, Construction & Fit

EGi makes Italian underwear and layering tops in several different fabrics. Wool and silk and MicroWool are separate ranges with different fiber compositions. This guide connects the material differences to specific EGi garments available through TITTIMITTI LLC, EGi's official US representative.

EGi wool and silk: 85% merino wool / 15% silk

The women's garments in our EGi wool-and-silk collection list an 85% merino wool / 15% silk fabric blend. The range includes camisoles, tank tops, short-sleeve tops, long-sleeve tops and turtlenecks, with satin, lace or macramé finishes depending on the style. Choose the neckline, sleeve length and trim that suit how you plan to wear the garment, either on its own or under other clothing.

Maglificio Ma.Re.'s official product pages identify this blend for styles 140 and 1488. Consult the individual product for the offered sizes, colors, construction and any trim details. A fabric composition should not be treated as a separate specification for every decorative component.

EGi MicroWool: merino wool with synthetic fibers

Our EGi MicroWool collection is a merino wool-blend range, with lace, tulle and other finishes depending on the garment. MicroWool is not the name of EGi's wool-and-silk fabric.

For MicroWool styles 303 and 305, the manufacturer's current specifications identify 40% merino wool / 60% acrylic. Some existing US listings use the broader term “microfiber.” Acrylic is a synthetic fiber. Check the exact product's composition before choosing a garment for a specific fiber preference; other styles or finishes may have different specifications.

Tubular knitting and seams

Several EGi wool-and-silk product descriptions specify tubular knit fabric and no side seams. Tubular knitting forms fabric as a tube, allowing the garment body to be made without a sewn side seam where that construction is used. This does not mean that a finished top has no seams anywhere: neckline finishes, straps, sleeves or shoulders may still involve stitching. Check the construction stated for the individual style and size rather than assuming it applies to every EGi garment.

Choosing your size

Based on our selling experience, many EGi styles run small. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, we recommend choosing the next size up. Product-specific fit guidance takes priority. Some styles use combined sizes such as S/M and L/XL; choose from the sizes actually offered on the product page. EGi and MaRe sizing should not be treated as one universal measurement chart.
