Frequently Asked Questions

Cotton is harder wearing and more forgiving when it comes to washing and drying. It is possible to machine wash our merino spandex blend but better to use a liquid detergent, also set on a gentle cycle and avoid putting in the dryer. These are our original Adventure Pants we have been making from 2010.

Firstly, Merino is more expensive as it’s grown off the back of a sheep (and not just any sheep, a Merino one!). 80% of the worlds merino is grown in Australia, but unfortunately due to the state of our manufacturing industry, it is spun onto cones for knitting into fabric offshore. Merino is wool and so can be a tasty food source for insects, so diligence is required to make sure they are not in your house! That said, we always like to darn up any holes that might appear for continued use and adventures. If you have trouble hand darning yourself any mishaps, we are happy to help, just get in touch shop@captainrobbo.com.

Everything we sell on this website is produced in Melbourne, Australia. We are having our fabrics made here, where possible, which means they are also dyed and finished in Melbourne. Fabrics are produced and then cut into panels, we screen print onto these panels, and have them made locally.

Katy Robinson AKA Captain Robbo designs all the prints, usually by hand drawing and then scaling into larger artworks ready to print and repeat.

Please refer to our returns policy here. We are happy to swap for any reason, as long as they are in a new condition.
