I’ve been looking for a new Hoodie for a while

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!!

Higher Hoodie Review

Perfect fit in XL. I’m 6ft 1”. Always a high standard of product from the Opus Team.

Great sweatshirt - I’m ordering more!

I got the hoodie about a week ago and haven't taken it off since. It is very comfortable and it fits great! I’m ordering more. The pull strings on the bonded olive are reflective, which is a nice touch. The hood is nice and deep which allows for comfortably wearing hats underneath.

Notes about the fit: it is not a baggy zip up hoodie, i wear mine with a tee-shirt under and there is not much room for more than one layer under it. I am 5’9” and about 165 lbs; the medium fits me perfect. The sleeves fall a little past my wrists and the hem falls to about my hip.

Super comfy and warm

I absolutely love this hoodie, it’s very comfortable, perfect for the colder days, and true to size.

Crew Sweater - Scoria Red

$299.00 NZD

For you and your crew...

In cahoots with the team at Manawatu Knitting Mills, Opus Fresh is proud to present a new addition to the gender neutral range - The Crew Sweater.

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.
Signature 'Mountain Geometric' Leather patch.
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 135-year tradition of creating finely crafted accessories.
Also available in Silver Grey.
Made in the rural heartland of Manawatu in the central North Island of New Zealand.

"It's like wearing a hug" - Amy, Opus HQ.

Enjoyed across generations

I have two colours of this and they are wardrobe essentials that bridge the seasons and bring outfits together. My 96 year old Mum has two and uses them for everything… she’s arthritic in the shoulders so finds them easier to and more stylish to wear than cardigans and even puts them on her bed as a throw as well in autumn for extra warmth when it gets colder.

Travel wrap

The pink wrap, pink fingerless gloves and black beanie with pompom were a gift for my sister. She was delighted.

Travel wrap

This is a beautiful garment; so soft and warm. Feels very luxurious and I’m sure will be a firm favourite in my wardrobe for many years to come

Fabulous and cosy

I have two of these ! They are amazingly warm and cosy , and also very practical … a scarf , a wrap , or a rug in front of the TV… I get so many comments about them .. and they both look as fabulous as the day I got them …
