100% Merino Neckwarmer

Made in New Zealand

New Zealand Merino Wool : Nature's wonder fibre!

Fine and soft to the touch, it keeps you warm even when its wet, and its often wet out there!

UV resistant, breathable, temperature regulating and antimicrobial, so it wont stink after multiple days wear.

Sustainable sheep grow the fleece, we harvest the fleece and repeat.

Hand wash to keep it looking smart.

The boss of all coats. The one coat to rule them all.

The Gosling Coat is hand crafted IN NEW ZEALAND using melton wool, wool/cashmere & milled merino depending on the roll at hand.

It's fully lined with a super fine merino hood & a 'dryfit' body for moisture regulation while it's anti-bacterial qualities give performance against smell. To top it off, the all new and robustly improved fine twill sleeve lining stops inner garment catch, for smooth arm sliding.  

It's technically functional for travel in winter while still impeccably styled for negotiating your salary in the snooker room at the whiskey club.

This is the garment that, along with The Cannon Crew  was at the core of the Opus Fresh Apparel Co. concept.

The hybrid...the way of the future.

In biology, a hybrid is the result of combining the traits of two species in an effort to improve or increase function and quality of a crossbred offspring.  

As seen here in the the ladies edition of the Opus Shacket - a hybridisation of a Shirt and a Jacket - Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents, but can show hybrid vigour, often growing stronger or superior to either parent.

A true modern classic, the Hybrid Shacket embodies the best of both worlds. 

TECH SPECS:

• Business in the wool body button-up, primed for action in the Merino, movement ready sleeves.
• Super deep button up front pockets for stashing the essentials or for warding of frostbite in the fingertips.

• Slightly scooped tail, perfect for keeping your bum covered in the field or at the desk.
• Tapered, long-line cut for femininity, style and function.
• Quickly bounces back into shape, even when stuffed in the bottom of a bag.
