Where there's a wool
Wool is the perfect antidote for winter and always is our fibre of choice.
In addition to nearly all of our winter suiting being wool, we also have a strong selection of knitwear.
Made in New Zealand from Merino wool it is superior in quality and has a remarkable number of features. Wool is a renewable resource, it is flame retardant and biodegradable.
Wool's natural structure allows it to easily absorb and release water making it perfect for layering. Wool fibres can be bent 20,000 times without breaking, making it a hardy material.
Trans-seasonal, non-allergenic and easy to look after just some of the qualities that make it such a great material to work with and wear.
