Those who are well acquainted with Opus know that we are not a fast fashion label but rather aim to constantly improve on what we've done in the past, refining, then refining again, with functionality and timeless style as the drivers. Of this ethos the 'Crop Tee' was recently born, based on the Crop Crew but in lightweight merino making it perfect for the balmy summer adventures, strolls along the beach or social outings. Merino wool's naturally protective nature provides UV resistance of SPF 30 or more, so not only will your sweet new threads keep your temperature regulated...they will also help provide a sun barrier.
The Crop Tee, purposefully designed luxury wear. Dress it up, dress it down, the choice is all yours.
TECH SPECS:
100% Merino Wool
Relaxed, waist length, cropped cut for style and function.
Quickly bounces back into shape, even when stuffed in the bottom of a bag.
Antibacterial properties mean you wont get smelly, even when you wear it next to your skin day after day, and you don't have to wash it as often.
Premium light weight Merino (200gsm) isabout as comfortable as any garment can get.
Regulates temperature with supreme breathability making it the perfect summer layer.
New Zealand Leather Mountain Geometric patch punctuates the clean lines of the garment.
100% Merino wool can be hit and miss (itchy and not soft) but this shirt is absolutely lovely! It’s soft, comfortable, and the slightly longer short sleeves are a nice relaxed touch. I love it! Not to mention, it’s the perfect crop length!
Luxe Crew - Ink Navy
Regular price$299.00 NZD
Luxurious in lifestyle yet humble in character...
This boujee wee number comes to you in collaboration with the team at Manawatu Knitting Mills and Opus Fresh.
With extra special attention taken to the finishing touches, including both a geometric mountain and shears leather patch, this luxe sweater is the perfect finishing touch to nearly any outfit.
Crafted from a blend of Possum Fur, Silk and New Zealand Merino Wool, detailed with the signature Opus Fresh organic leather patch.
Tech Specs:
Made from a 70% Merino, 20% Possum, 10% Silk blend.
The unique blend of possum fur and merino lamb’s wool creates a piling retardant fibre. Possum fur is low-pill and anti-static which means the garment can be worn throughout the years and still look as new as the day it was purchased.
Possum fibre will not freeze, even when exposed to periods of prolonged cold. The only fibre on the planet known to have the same characteristic is Polar Bear fur.
The brushtail possum was introduced to New Zealand in the 1850s and is now wreaking havoc on our natural wildlife and native forest.The need to control the number of possums to protect our native flora and fauna saw the development of this NZ exclusive, specialised natural fibre.
Possum fibre has no scales and is hollow, which gives both lightness and warmth, compared to other natural fibres of a similar micron.
Possum fibre is silky to handle providing an instant feel appeal unlike any other fibre.
The MKM boasts a 141-year tradition of creating finely crafted accessories.
Available in a beautiful lilac purple and a rich ember orange.
Made in the rural heartland of Manawatu in the central North Island of New Zealand.
Dress it up or dress it down; this gender-neutral legend comes in two different colour options Moss Wool Check or Cocoa Wool Check; both adorned with wooden buttons and our signature leather Mountain Geometric patch because they are a little bit boujee.
Lightweight wool keeps you cool and covered under that beating summer sun so rock it unbuttoned over a singlet, or use it to keep you well and warm as a mid-layer during winter. Being made from wool this beauty is naturally temperature regulating and UV resistant, so it's the ultimate weapon to keep the burn at bay in summer.
It's also a savvy travel companion because once it has been unpacked and hung up, it will drop those pesky wrinkles in place of some sleek lines.
TECH SPECS
Lightweight Wool - suitable for all seasons.
Gender-neutral fit.
Chest Pocket with button closure to help keep the essentials safe.
Adjustable button-down neckline.
Cuffs that unbutton so can be easily rolled up if needed.
The soft, luxurious texture will convert even the most dubious wool-o-phobic!
Love this shirt! Great fit and feel, warm yet breathable. And as a bonus no need to iron! Winning.
Thanks Opus fresh team!

Amazing shirt
Got excited about this as soon as the email came out - I'm a sucker for a good plaid shirt. Super comfortable and it breathes so well - wore it to work in the city on a warm spring day, walked 40 minutes each way, not a sweat. Looks good in the mountains and the glass canyons.

With a little touch of Opus Fresh by way of our signature embossed geometric leather patch on the front, these bad boys are a cut above the rest when it comes to slipper game.

Twin-faced sheepskin for a snuggly soft inner and a stylish suede outer

My favourite merino hoodie died a hard worn death a couple of years ago and my current one is looking a bit battered and stained so it was great to find a great replacement when I visited Ohakune over summer…summer being a bit of a pejorative term this time around…but warm and comfy when those rain squalls came through. Well made and it fits well. Could do with one in camo to keep myself blended with the surrounds when chasing the elusive Blue duck or more importantly to reduce the sandfly strike rate when photographing Fiordland Crested Penguin… afterall I have only so much blood and those blood suckers in Fiordland will find every bit of exposed skin!!. Great top in other words!!
