JUMPERS
The 3 PEAKS style of Jumpers, represents a range where the clock is wound back to recreate products made in New Zealand from New Zealand wool. We pride ourselves on providing garments that support New Zealand, from farm to product that last and get handed on to the next custodian, and lastly it is 100% biodegradable.
​
Our range is inspired by the great versatility of the wools grown in New Zealand, to which we are adding new pieces made from Merino as well developing unique knits incorporating hardier coarse, crossbred wool.
SOUTHERN ALPS BASE LAYERS
The Southern Alps of New Zealand run like a spine down the South Island and provide the surrounding background to the farms that grow our Merino. These are the first testing grounds for the wool and a fantastic natural environment for the wool to grow.
​
The merino wool is fine and has evolved to deal with both the summer heat and extreme cold of the winter.
MT. ASPIRING
BASE
LAYERS
Mount Aspiring is both breathtaking and technical, the Mount Aspiring National Park is a wonderful mixture of remote wilderness, high mountains, and beautiful river valleys. An inspiration for this range and a backyard we eagerly explored whilst growing up.
Using our 200gsm knit and colours we have a range with distinctive features to allow it to successfully stand alone or be mixed with the SOUTHERN ALPS range.

TEMPERATURE
REGULATION
As tested in the high country on the sheep. Merino can manage body heat depending on the wearer and the external conditions. It absorbs moisture and releases heat when it‘s cold outside and works in reverse in warmer conditions.
MOISTURE
MANAGEMENT
Merino naturally wicks moisture away from your body absorbing up to 35% of its weight before feeling wet or cold.
ELASTICITY
& LONGEVITY
Merino fibres are crimped and longer than non-Merino fibres. When you put this together with our dense knits we can obtain a natural elasticity of 67.5%, giving you a better fit, and a longer life which is better for all.
COMFORT
Merino is a finer, longer crimped fibre making it softer and more comfortable when worn next to the skin. The natural spring of the fibre means that it fits and feels better while holding its shape and lasting longer.
FIRE
RESISTANT
Merino is naturally flame resistant with a low combustion rate when exposed to naked flames.
RESISTS
BODY ODOUR
Merino is naturally odour resistant. We always recommend airing on a hanger after use to refresh and reduce water usage by excess washing.
