The "PoA" Style School Sweater

Just when we thought we had the Wizard School costume components all squared away, a new school sweater was introduced in the "PoA" movie.

It took everyone by surprise. Some wizard students like it, and others still prefer the original "CoS" style school sweater but since it's introduction, the "PoA" styled sweater has become a favorite.

The new school sweater is darker - a dark charcoal grey that is almost black. This charcoal grey with lots of character is an ideal background for the new, contrasting trim colors.

The new "house" colors are darker and richer too...maroon and old gold, a dark "forest" green with pewter grey, a dark "marine" blue with silver grey and old gold with black.

Nothing has changed at Wizard School however. The corridors and classrooms are still drafty; there is still a chill in the air so you'll be glad to know that the new school sweater, knit in a sports-weight wool yarn, will keep you warm and toasty.

Wool is an incredible, natural fiber. It holds its shape and color too. We do recommend dry cleaning!

Please note that, by default, the new, "PoA" styled school sweater is knit in 100% wool, unless otherwise indicated in the "Optional Instructions" section of the shopping cart during the Paypal ordering process.

The Design

The new school sweater is another traditional style of school uniform sweater. It is designed as a solid colored, ribbed V-neckline pullover with boarding house colors along the bottom of the sweater body and the bottom of the sleeves - just above the ribbed bands.

The "house" stripe is knit in a light/dark/light sequence but also in a narrow/wide/narrow pattern - slightly different than the even, mini-stripes of the original school sweater.

The Colors

They are as authentic as possible and subject to change if found not to be!

    SWEATER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    The New Style Sweater is 100% wool. Please DRY CLEAN for superior results. If you prefer to hand wash your sweater, use lukewarm or cool water with mild soap. Hobbie's uses and highly recommends Eucalan Woolwash. The lavender scent is fantastic! Do not place the soap directly on the sweater - just swish it in the water. Be sure to support the weight of the sweater once wet. Rinse well. Roll in a heavy towel to squeeze out the excess water. Lay flat to dry away from heat or direct sunlight. "Block" to original shape and size. For additional care instructions, please click on the link above.

    If you have any questions, check our FAQ page, or feel free to contact us Hobbie's House. Eucalan *Lavender* Woolwash - It is, by far, the best product to use if you decide to hand wash the New School Sweater.
